Amr bin Salim Zurqi narrates: He heard Sayyiduna Abu Qatadah saying, "Once we were sitting at the door of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). Meanwhile, the Prophet (peace be upon him) came to us, carrying Sayyida Umamah bint Abi Al-As. The mother of this girl was Sayyida Zainab (may Allah be pleased with her), who was the daughter of the Prophet (peace be upon him). She was still a young girl. The Prophet (peace be upon him) performed the prayer while the girl was on his shoulder. When he went into bowing (ruku'), he put her down on the ground to one side. When he stood up, he picked her up again onto his shoulder, and in this manner, the Prophet (peace be upon him) completed the prayer."
