A'isha, the wife of the Apostle ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said: Babies were brought to the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) and he blessed them, and after having chewed (something, e. g. dates or any other sweet thing) he rubbed there with their soft palates. A baby was brought to him and he passed water over him (over his garment), so he asked water to be brought and sprinkled it, but he did not wash it.

A'isha reported: A suckling baby was brought to the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) and he urinated in his lap. He (the Holy Prophet) sent for water and poured it over.

Hisham narrated the hadith like one transmitted by Ibn Numair (the above mentioned one) with the same chain of transmitters.
