When Imam Hussain (PBUH) (while he was a child) got on the Holy Prophet (PBUH) back while he was in the prostration in prayer (Sajdeh), the Holy Prophet (PBUH) prolonged his sajdah. He could not bear to see his grandsons cry, or get hurt. He encouraged his companions to show affection to their children.
