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.'" R 1308 Muslim with a chain up to ibn Abbas who related that the Messenger of Allah, praise and peace be upon him, said this.
1282- وعن ابن عباس رضي الله عنهما : أنَّ النبيَّ صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم لَقِيَ رَكْباً بالرَّوْحَاءِ ، فَقَالَ : "مَنِ القَوْمُ ؟" قالوا: المسلِمُونَ . قالوا : مَنْ أنْتَ ؟ قَالَ : "رسولُ اللهِ" . فَرَفَعَتِ امْرَأةٌ صَبيّاً ، فَقَالَتْ : ألِهَذَا حَجٌّ ؟ قَالَ : "نَعَمْ ، وَلَكِ أجْرٌ" رواه مسلم .
