Sayyidunā Abū Hurayrah رَضِىَ اللّٰهُ عَـنْهُ narrates:

One night, the beloved Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم was leading the ꜤIshāˈ prayer. The young Imam Ḥasan and Imam Ḥusayn رَضِىَ اللّٰهُ عَـنْهُ were also present there. Whenever the beloved Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم would prostrate, both of them would climb onto his blessed back. When the noble Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم would raise his head from prostration, he would gently pick them up and place them on the ground. When the beloved Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم would prostrate again, both of them would do the same. Upon completing the prayer, he took both into his lap. I stepped forward and asked, “O Messenger of Allah صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم! Should I take them home?” The beloved Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم granted permission.[2]
