It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) that "the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was the most cheerful and playful of people with children (in his dealings)."
Imam al-Tabarani (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "No one narrated this hadith from Ishaq bin Abdullah bin Abi Talhah (may Allah have mercy on him) except Umarah bin Ghaziyyah (may Allah have mercy on him); Ibn Lahi'ah (may Allah have mercy on him) is alone in narrating it, and it is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) only with this chain."
