Are some of the movements the Prophet performed in prayer specific to him?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Regarding the movements that occurred from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) during prayer, such as removing his sandals when Jibril informed him, and also when he carried al-Hasan and al-Husayn while he was praying, the point in these movements is: are they specific to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) or general?

Answer:
No, they are not specific. For example, his ascending the pulpit and descending from the pulpit while he was praying, his carrying of Ummah bint Zaynab, and his moving forward and backward in the eclipse prayer when Paradise and Hell were shown to him. It appears that if they have causes, there is no harm.
Q: What does this playfulness detract from the prayer?
A: What is called "playfulness" was for the benefit of the legislation and to clarify the legislation.
Q: Including carrying the girl?
A: Yes: to clarify the legislation. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) carried her so that people would know that it is permissible.
