- Once Prophet Muhammad was playing with his grandsons Hasan and Hussein. The kids were sitting on his shoulders. When Umar saw this he told the children:
“What a fine horse you are riding on!”
The Prophet replied:
“They are fine riders as well. But their father is even better than them” (Heysemi, ibid, IX, 181-182).
- In another incident Hasan and Hussein got lost. The Prophet found them after a long search. The kids were very scared. The Prophet petted and kissed them. He placed both of them on his shoulders and was carrying them home. He ran into Salman who told the children:
“How lucky you are. You have a fine horse.” The Prophet replied:
“They are fine riders as well. But their father is even better than them” (Heysemi, ibid, 182; Koten, IV, 468).
