THE REWARD FOR TAKING CHILDREN ON PILGRIMAGE

1308

“The Messenger of Allah, praise and peace be upon him, encountered a party of mounted men at Rauha and asked them, ‘Who are you?’ They answered, ‘Muslims’ and they inquired who he was. He replied, ‘The Messenger of Allah.’ A lady among them lifted a boy up to him and asked, ‘Can this child take part in the Pilgrimage?’ He replied, ‘Yes, and you will have the reward.’”

Muslim with a chain up to ibn Abbas who related that the Messenger of Allah, praise and peace be upon him, said this.
