Hadith 2428
حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَي بْنُ يَحْيَي ، وَأَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ ، وَاللَّفْظُ لِيَحْيَي ، قَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ : حَدَّثَنَا ، وقَالَ يَحْيَي : أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ ، عَنْ عَاصِمٍ الْأَحْوَلِ ، عَنْ مُوَرِّقٍ الْعِجْلِيِّ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ ، قَالَ : " كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِذَا قَدِمَ مِنْ سَفَرٍ تُلُقِّيَ بِصِبْيَانِ أَهْلِ بَيْتِهِ ، قَالَ : وَإِنَّهُ قَدِمَ مِنْ سَفَرٍ ، فَسُبِقَ بِي إِلَيْهِ فَحَمَلَنِي بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ ، ثُمَّ جِيءَ بِأَحَدِ ابْنَيْ فَاطِمَةَ ، فَأَرْدَفَهُ خَلْفَهُ ، قَالَ : فَأُدْخِلْنَا الْمَدِينَةَ ثَلَاثَةً عَلَى دَابَّةٍ " .
Abdullah bin Ja'far reported that when Allah's Messenger (may peace be, upon him) came back from a journey, the children of his family used to accord him welcome. It was in this way that once he came back from a journey and I went to him first of all. He mounted me before him. Then there came one of the two sons of Fatima and he mounted him behind him and this is how we three entered Madinah riding on a beast.

Abdullah bin Ja'a'far reported that when Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) came back from a journey he met us. Once he met me, Hasan or Husain, and he mounted one of us before him and the other one behind him until we entered Madinah.

Benefits and Issues:
➊ Elders should treat children with kindness.
➋ It is permissible to welcome someone returning from a journey, but one should not display unnecessary formalities in doing so.
➌ More than one person may ride an animal, provided that the animal can easily bear the load. On a long journey or if the animal is weak, it is not appropriate for two people to ride together.
➍ Abdullah bin Ja‘far (radi Allahu anhu) and Hasan or Husayn (radi Allahu anhuma) were children. The combined weight of both of them was not equal to that of one adult, so three people riding together did not cause hardship for the animal.
