Explanation of the Book of Prayer-10

The Shaykh :"And from Abu Qatadah (may Allah be pleased with him), who said:

Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) was (one time) offering prayer while he was carrying Umama, daughter of Zainab, when he prostrated he put her down and when he stood up he lifted her up.

كان رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم يصلي وهو حامل أمامة بنت زينب ، فإذا سجد وضعها ، وإذا قام حملها

Bulugh al-Maram 2:91

Agreed upon by al-Bukhari and Muslim, and Muslim added:

While he (ﷺ) led the people in the prayer in the masjid

وهو يؤم الناس في المسجد

Bulugh al-Maram 2:92

" His statement: Umamah is the daughter of his daughter, and her father is Abu al-As ibn al-Rabi' (may Allah be pleased with him). He was among those to whom the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) made a promise and fulfilled it for him. She had embraced Islam before he did, and then he embraced Islam afterward. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) returned her to him after six years; he returned her to him after six years. Know that if a man's wife embraces Islam before he does, and he embraces Islam during the waiting period, she is his wife and she has no option to leave him. If she embraces Islam during the waiting period, she is his wife and she has no option to leave him. Did you understand this? No, no? A disbeliever man has a disbeliever wife, so she embraces Islam, and the marriage is annulled, meaning separation between them is obligatory. If he embraces Islam while she is in the waiting period, he is her husband and she has no option to leave him. If he embraces Islam after the waiting period has ended, the majority of scholars said: the marriage is annulled and she is divorced from him, and she is not lawful to him except with a new contract, because the bond between them was severed by the end of the waiting period. It was also said: rather, she has the option; if she wishes, she can wait until her husband embraces Islam and then return to him, and if she wishes, she can marry someone else. So the difference between his embracing Islam during her waiting period and his embracing Islam after the waiting period is that before the waiting period ends, she has no option; he is her husband. After the waiting period, according to the stronger position, she has the option: if she wishes, she can wait for her husband in case he embraces Islam, and if she wishes, she can marry. Zaynab (may Allah be pleased with her), the daughter of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him and his family), waited, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) returned her to him after six years.
Zaynab (may Allah be pleased with her) passed away during the lifetime of her father (peace and blessings be upon him and his family), and she had a small daughter. It is said that the Messenger (may Allah's prayers and peace be upon him) used to carry her during her mother's illness or death, because it was part of his (may Allah's prayers and peace be upon him) great good character that he was in the service of his family, even carrying the children to pamper them (may Allah's prayers and peace be upon him). This small daughter was with him while he was leading the people in prayer; he would carry her on his shoulder. When he stood up, he would say: Agreed upon by al-Bukhari and Muslim, and in a wording by Muslim: meaning: he was their imam (may Allah's prayers and peace be upon him).
