712. It was narrated from 'Amr bin Sulaim Az-Zuraqî that he heard Abû Qatâdah say: "While we were sitting in the Masjid. The Messenger
of Allâh ﷻ came out to us carrying Umâmah bint Abî Al-Âş bin Ar-Rabî', whose mother was Zainab, the daughter of the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ. She was a little girl and he was carrying her. The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ prayed with her on his shoulder, putting her down when he bowed and picking her up again when he stood up, until he completed his prayer." (Sâhîh)

Commentary
1. This Hadîth supports the position of Imâm Ash-Shafî' on a specific matter: That, both for obligatory and recommended prayers, and both for the Imâm and those who pray behind him, and even for one who prays alone, it is permissible to carry children - whether they are boys or girls - during prayer.
2. This Hadîth further proves - as do other narrations - the permissibility of bringing children to the Masjid.
