Hadith 868

نَا عَبْدُ الْجَبَّارِ بْنُ الْعَلاءِ ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ ، أَخْبَرَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ أَبِي سُلَيْمَانَ ، وَابْنُ عَجْلانَ ، سَمِعَا عَامِرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ ، يَقُولُ : سَمِعْتُ عَمْرَو بْنَ سُلَيْمٍ الزُّرَقِيَّ ، يَقُولُ : سَمِعْتُ أَبَا قَتَادَةَ ، يَقُولُ : رَأَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ " يَؤُمُّ النَّاسَ ، وَعَلَى عَاتِقِهِ أُمَامَةُ بِنْتُ زَيْنَبَ ، فَإِذَا رَكَعَ وَضَعَهَا ، وَإِذَا رَفَعَ مِنَ السُّجُودِ أَعَادَهَا "
Sayyiduna Abu Qatadah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that I saw the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) leading the people in prayer while Umamah, the daughter of Lady Zainab, was riding on his shoulder. When he (peace be upon him) would bow for ruku, he would put her down, and when he would raise his head from prostration, he would seat her again on his shoulder.
