Arabic Text
قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا جَرِيرُ بْنُ حَازِمٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِي يَعْقُوبَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ شَدَّادٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ خَرَجَ عَلَيْنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي إِحْدَى صَلَاتَيْ الْعَشِيِّ الظُّهْرِ أَوْ الْعَصْرِ وَهُوَ حَامِلٌ الْحَسَنَ أَوْ الْحُسَيْنَ فَتَقَدَّمَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَوَضَعَهُ ثُمَّ كَبَّرَ لِلصَّلَاةِ فَصَلَّى فَسَجَدَ بَيْنَ ظَهْرَانَيْ صَلَاتِهِ سَجْدَةً أَطَالَهَا فَقَالَ إِنِّي رَفَعْتُ رَأْسِي فَإِذَا الصَّ
بِيُّ عَلَى ظَهْرِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَهُوَ سَاجِدٌ فَرَجَعْتُ فِي سُجُودِي فَلَمَّا قَضَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ الصَّلَاةَ قَالَ النَّاسُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّكَ سَجَدْتَ بَيْنَ ظَهْرَانَيْ صَلَاتِكَ هَذِهِ سَجْدَةً قَدْ أَطَلْتَهَا فَظَنَنَّا أَنَّهُ قَدْ حَدَثَ أَمْرٌ أَوْ أَنَّهُ قَدْ يُوحَى إِلَيْكَ قَالَ فَكُلُّ ذَلِكَ لَمْ يَكُنْ وَلَكِنَّ ابْنِي ارْتَحَلَنِي فَكَرِهْتُ أَنْ أُعَجِّلَهُ حَتَّى يَقْضِيَ حَاجَتَهُ

English Translation
Yazīd narrated to us: Jarīr ibn Ḥāzim informed us, from Muḥammad ibn Abī Yaʿqūb, from ʿAbdullāh ibn Shaddād, from his father, who said: The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ came out to us for one of the two afternoon prayers — Ẓuhr or ʿAṣr — carrying Ḥasan or Ḥusayn. the Prophet ﷺ came forward, placed him down, then made the opening takbīr for the prayer. During his prayer, he made a prostration and prolonged it. He said: I raised my head and saw the boy on the back of the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ while he was prostrating, so I returned to my prostration. When the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ finished the prayer, the people said: 'O Messenger of Allāh, you made a prostration during your prayer that you prolonged greatly. We thought something had happened or that you were receiving revelation.' He said: 'None of that happened. But my son climbed on my back, and I did not want to rush him until he had finished what he wanted.'
