Abu Qatadah, a Companion of the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم, said: While we were waiting for the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم for the noon or afternoon prayer, and Bilal had already called him for prayer, he came upon us with Umamah daughter of Abu al-As and daughter of his daughter on his neck. The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم stood at the place of prayer and we stood behind him and she (Umamah) (all this time) was in her place. He uttered the takbir and we also uttered. When the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم intended to bow, he took her and put her down, and then he bowed and prostrated till he finished his prostration. He then got up and took her and returned he to her place. The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم kept on doing that in every rak’ah until he finished his prayer. May peace be upon him.
