ʿAbd al-Muṭṭalib's honoring of him ﷺ when he was young
[ إكْرَامُ عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ لَهُ ﷺ وَهُوَ صَغِيرٌ ] قَالَ ابْنُ إسْحَاقَ: فَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ مَعَ جَدِّهِ عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ بْنِ هَاشِمٍ، وَكَانَ يُوضَعُ لِعَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ فِرَاشٌ فِي ظِلِّ الْكَعْبَةِ، فَكَانَ بَنُوهُ يَجْلِسُونَ حَوْلَ فِرَاشِهِ ذَلِكَ حَتَّى يَخْرَجَ إلَيْهِ، لَا يَجْلِسُ عَلَيْهِ أَحَدٌ مِنْ بَنِيهِ إجْلَالًا لَهُ ؟ قَالَ: فَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَأْتِي وَهُوَ غُلَامٌ جَفْرٌ، حَتَّى يَجْلِسَ عَلَيْهِ، فَيَأْخُذَهُ أَعْمَامُهُ لِيُؤَخِّرُوهُ عَنْهُ، فَيَقُولُ عَبْدُ الْمُطَّلِبِ، إذَا رَأَى ذَلِكَ مِنْهُمْ: دَعُوا ابْنِي، فَوَاَللَّهِ إنَّ لَهُ لَشَأْنًا، ثُمَّ يُجْلِسُهُ مَعَهُ عَلَى الْفِرَاشِ، وَيَمْسَحُ ظَهْرَهُ بِيَدِهِ، وَيَسُرُّهُ مَا يَرَاهُ يَصْنَعُ
Translation
✧ [ʿAbd al-Muṭṭalib's honoring of him ﷺ when he was small] Ibn Isḥāq said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ was with his grandfather ʿAbd al-Muṭṭalib b. Hāshim, and a bed was placed for ʿAbd al-Muṭṭalib in the shade of the Kaʿbah. His sons would sit around that bed of his until he came out to it, none of his sons sitting on it out of reverence for him. He said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ would come, while he was a weaned boy, until he sat on it, and his paternal uncles would take hold of him to move him away from it, and ʿAbd al-Muṭṭalib would say, when he saw that from them: "Leave my son, for by Allah, he has a great affair." Then he would seat him with him on the bed, and wipe his back with his hand, and it pleased him what he saw him do.
