A Day in The Life of Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) by Abd a-Wahhab b. Nasir al-Turayri

Visiting Friends and Relatives
The Prophet might go during the morning hours to visit some
of his relatives or friends. For example, he went sometimes to see
his daughter, Fatimah, at home, so that he could see his grandson,
al-Hasan ibn 'Ali. Abu Hurayrah reports that the Prophet went out
one midmoming. He found me in the mosque. He took my hand ·
and I went with him. He was reclining on my hand, and we walked
without either of us speaking to the other. We first went to the
market place of the Jewish tribe, the Qaynuqa' . He went around the
market looking at what was going on. He then left, and I remained
with him. He reached the yard in front of Fatimah's home and he
sat there. He said: "Where is the little one? Where is the little one?
Where is the little one? Call al-Hasan ibn 'Ali to come." No one
answered him. Fatimah detained al-Hasan for a while and we
thought that she might be washing him and giving him a necklace
to wear.1B The Prophet then left and I left with him, until we came
into the mosque where he sat and covered himself. He then said:
"Where is the little one? Call the little one for me." Soon enough,
al-Hasan came rushing and he jumped at the Prophet's cover and
fell in his lap. They both hugged each other. He kissed al-Hasan and
held him at his chest. Al-Hasan put his hand in the Prophet's beard.
The Prophet then opened his mouth and the boy put his mouth on
the Prophet's mouth. The Prophet said: "My Lord, I love him; so
You love him and love anyone who loves him." He repeated this
prayer three times.
Abu Hurayrah often remembered this scene.
"Whenever I saw al-Hasan, tears sprang to my eyes."
He said:
One day the Prophet went to Fatimah's home and asked about
her husband, 'Ali, saying: "Where is your cousin?" She said: "There
was some disagreement between us and he left. He sent someone to
look for him, and he was then told that 'Ali was asleep in the
mosque. He went to the mosque and he saw 'Ali lying there on the
ground, with his upper robe having fallen off his side. There was
dust on 'Ali's body. The Prophet began to remove the dust off him
ix That necklace was made of some perfumery plants.
