It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Qatadah (may Allah be pleased with him) that I once saw the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) performing prayer in such a way that he had Hazrat Zainab’s (may Allah be pleased with her) daughter, Umamah, on his shoulder. When the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would stand, he would lift her up, and when he would go into bowing (ruku‘), he would put her down.
