1206. It was narrated that Abû Qatâdah said: "I saw the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ leading the people in prayer, carrying Umâmah bint Abî Al-'Âs on his shoulder. When he bowed he put her down and when he finished prostrating he picked her up again." (Sâhîh)
1205 - أَخْبَرَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ أَبِي سُلَيْمَانَ، عَنْ عَامِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ سُلَيْمٍ، عَنْ أَبِي قَتَادَةَ قَالَ: «رَأَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَؤُمُّ النَّاسَ وَهُوَ حَامِلٌ أُمَامَةَ بِنْتَ أَبِي الْعَاصِ عَلَى عَاتِقِهِ، فَإِذَا رَكَعَ وَضَعَهَا، فَإِذَا فَرَغَ مِنْ سُجُودِهِ أَعَادَهَا»

Some scholars are of the opinion that one should not offer prayer while carrying a child, because there is no certainty of the purity of the child's body. Such folks have grown unmindful of the principle that unless discernible impurity becomes evident, the child or any other thing should be held pure.
