Al-Fath ar-Rabbani 5168 — on What Has Been Reported Regarding Racing
عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ قَالَ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَصُفُّ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ وَعُبَيْدَ اللَّهِ وَكَثِيرًا مِنْ بَنِي الْعَبَّاسِ ثُمَّ يَقُولُ مَنْ سَبَقَ إِلَيَّ فَلَهُ كَذَا وَكَذَا قَالَ فَيَسْتَبِقُونَ إِلَيْهِ فَيَقَعُونَ عَلَى ظَهْرِهِ وَصَدْرِهِ فَيُقَبِّلُهُمْ وَيَلْزَمُهُمْ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Harith (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) would line up Sayyiduna Abdullah, Sayyiduna Ubaidullah, and several children from Banu Abbas, and then say to them: Whoever reaches me first will receive such and such a reward. So they would run towards him (peace and blessings be upon him and his family), and then climb onto his blessed back and chest, and he (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) would kiss them and embrace them.
