Praised Manners, - Did children climb upon the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) during prayer? .

Is there a sunnah of the holy prophet regarding him allowing children
toclimb upon him during prayer and where can I find it?
Praise be to Allaah.
It was proven in al-Saheehayn and elsewhere, in the hadeeth of Abu
Qutaadah that the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah
be upon him) used to pray whilst carrying Umaamah, the daughter of
Zaynab, the daughter of the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings
of Allaah be upon him). When he prostrated, he would put her down, and
when he stood up he would pick her up again.
According to one report:"I saw the Messenger of Allaah (peace and
blessings of Allaah be upon him) leading the people in prayer, with
Umaamah bint Abi'l-'Aas on his shoulders. When he bowed he would put
her down and when he stood up from prostrating he would pick her up
again."
Shaykh 'Abd al-Kareem al-Khudayr
Al-Nasaa'i (1141) narrated from 'Abd-Allaah ibn Shaddaad that his
fathersaid: "The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be
upon him) came out to us for one of the evening prayers (Maghrib or
'Isha'), carrying Hasan or Husayn. The Messenger of Allaah (peace and
blessings of Allaah be upon him) came forward, put the child down and
said Takbeer ("Allaahu akbar") to startthe prayer. Then he prostrated
during the prayer and his prostration lasted for a long time. My
father said: I raised my head and saw the child on theback of the
Messenger ofAllaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him), so I
went back to my prostration. When the Messenger of Allaah (peace and
blessings of Allaah be upon him) finished praying, the people said to
him: 'O Messenger of Allaah, during your prayer you prostrated and it
took a long time, until we thought that something had happened, or
that you were receiving Revelation.' He said, 'Nothing happened, but
my son was riding on myback and I did not want to hurry him up until
he had had enough.'" (Saheeh al-Nasaa'i, 1093). - - ▓███▓
