Hazrat Abdullah bin Shaddad (may Allah have mercy on him) narrates that his father, Hazrat Shaddad (may Allah be pleased with him), said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was called for prayer. He (peace and blessings be upon him) came in such a state that he was carrying Hazrat Hasan (may Allah be pleased with him) and Hazrat Husain (may Allah be pleased with him). He (peace and blessings be upon him) seated them at his side. Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) performed the prostration of his prayer between their backs and made a very long prostration. My father said: I raised my head from among all the people and saw that a child was sitting on the back of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). So I put my head back down in prostration. When the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) finished the prayer with salam, the people asked: O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)! Today you performed such a prostration in your prayer as you have never done in your life. Was revelation being sent down upon you? He (peace and blessings be upon him) replied: No! Rather, my son had mounted upon me, so I disliked to get up quickly until he had fulfilled his wish.
