3774. Buraidah said: "The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ was delivering a Khuṭbah to us when Al-Hasan and Al-Husain [peace be upon them] came, wearing red shirts, walking and falling down. So the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ descended from the Minbar and carried them, and placed them in front of him. Then he said: 'Allāh spoke the Truth: Indeed, your wealth and your children are a trial.'[1] I looked at these two children walking and falling down, and I could not bear patiently anymore until I interrupted my talk and picked them up.” (Hasan) [Abū ‘Eisā said:] This Hadīth is Hasan Gharīb, we only know of it as a narration of Al-Ḥusain bin Wāqid.

Arabic text

٣٧٧٤ - حَدَّثَنَا ‌الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ حُرَيْثٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ‌عَلِيُّ بْنُ حُسَيْنِ بْنِ وَاقِدٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي ‌أَبِي ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي ‌عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ بُرَيْدَةَ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ أَبِي ‌بُرَيْدَةَ، يَقُولُ: «كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَخْطُبُنَا إِذْ جَاءَ الْحَسَنُ» وَالْحُسَيْنُ عَلَيْهِمَا قَمِيصَانِ أَحْمَرَانِ يَمْشِيَانِ وَيَعْثُرَانِ، فَنَزَلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مِنَ الْمِنْبَرِ، فَحَمَلَهُمَا وَوَضَعَهُمَا بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: صَدَقَ اللهُ {إِنَّمَا أَمْوَالُكُمْ وَأَوْلادُكُمْ فِتْنَةٌ}. نَظَرْتُ إِلَى هَذَيْنِ الصَّبِيَّيْنِ يَمْشِيَانِ وَيَعْثُرَانِ، فَلَمْ أَصْبِرْ حَتَّى قَطَعْتُ حَدِيثِي وَرَفَعْتُهُمَا. هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ غَرِيبٌ، إِنَّمَا نَعْرِفُهُ مِنْ حَدِيثِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ وَاقِدٍ.

Commentary

The condition of both the children was a distraction for the Prophet ﷺ and for the Companions too. It was difficult for the Prophet ﷺ to speak, and difficult for the Companions to listen. So to end the situation the Prophet ﷺ picked up the children and placed them in front of him.
