“We used to pray with the Prophet—peace and blessings be upon him—and whenever he prostrated, al-Hasan and al-Husayn—may Allah be pleased with them both—would leap onto his back. When he raised his head, he would take them and set them on the ground. Whenever he prostrated again, they would do the same, until he completed his prayer.”
