920. (There is another chain) from Abū Qatādah, the Companion of the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ who said: "Once, we were waiting for the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ to come out for the prayer — either Zuhr or 'Aṣr — and Bilāl had already called him for the prayer. When he came out, Umāmah bint Abī Al-'Āṣ, his daughter's daughter, was on his neck. The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ stood up to pray in his place of prayer, and we stood behind him, while she was still in her place (being held by the Prophet ﷺ). When he said the Takbīr, we too said the Takbīr, and when he was about to go into Rukū', he took her and placed her (on the ground). Then he went into Rukū', and prostrated. When he completed the prostration, he
picked her up again and placed her in her original place. And he continued to do likewise in every Rak'ah until he finished the prayer.”

[1] Makhramah bin Bukair, and accordingly, it is not this narration, yet he narrated from his father's book as well, as mentioned in the biographies of narrators.
Commentary
Movement (of limbs), much or little, is permissible during prayer provided it does not divert a worshiper away from the direction of Qiblah, the proof being the movements of Allāh's Messenger ﷺ who lifted up his granddaughter and placed her down, on and off.
