During the Salah, he صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم performed a lengthy Sajdah. Sayyiduna Shaddad رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ said: I raised my head and saw the child on the blessed back of the Noble Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم while he صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم was in Sajdah, so I went back to Sajdah. When the Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم finished Salah, the people humbly said, ‘Ya Rasoolallah صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم, you had performed such a lengthy Sajdah during the Salah that we thought that you had received the command of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ or you had been receiving a revelation.’ He صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم said, ‘That was not the case. My son was riding on my back and I did not want to hurry and break his heart.’

کیا بات رضاؔ  اُس چَمَنِستانِ کرم کی

زَہرا ہے کلی جس میں حُسَین اور حَسَن پھُول

صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب           صَلَّى اللّٰهُ تَعَالٰى عَلٰى مُحَمَّد

The most beloved!

Sayyiduna Anas Bin Maalik رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ has stated, the Beloved and Blessed Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم was humbly asked, ‘Whom do you love more amongst the Ahl-e-Bayt?’ He صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم replied, ‘Hasan and Husayn (رَضِیَ الـلّٰـهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُمَا).’

Sayyiduna Anas Bin Maalik رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ has further said: The Beloved Rasool  صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِه وَسَلَّم would ask Sayyidatuna Fatimah-tuz-Zahra رَضِیَ الـلّٰـهُ تَـعَالٰی عَـنْهَا: Bring my children to me. He صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم would then smell and cuddle them.
