bayhaqi:4153Abū al-Walīd > al-Ḥasan b. Sufyān > Abū Bakr b. Abū Shaybah > ʿAbdullāh b. Numayr > Hishām from his father > ʿĀʾishah

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to be brought to the children and would bless and stroke them. He was brought a baby boy and he spat on him, then he called for water to wash him but did not wash him.  

البيهقي:٤١٥٣وَأنبأ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ أَخْبَرَنِي أَبُو الْوَلِيدِ أنبأ الْحَسَنُ بْنُ سُفْيَانَ ثنا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ ثنا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ نُمَيْرٍ ثنا هِشَامٌ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ ؓ أَنَّ

رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ كَانَ يُؤْتَى بِالصِّبْيَانِ فَيُبَرِّكُ عَلَيْهِمْ وَيُحَنِّكُهُمْ فَأُتِيَ بِصَبِيٍّ فَبَالَ عَلَيْهِ فَدَعَا بِمَاءٍ فَأَتْبَعَهُ وَلَمْ يَغْسِلْهُ  

رَوَاهُ مُسْلِمٌ فِي الصَّحِيحِ عَنْ أَبِي بَكْرِ بْنِ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ وَقَالَ جَرِيرٌ عَنْ هِشَامٍ فَصَبَّهُ عَلَيْهِ

muslim:286aAbū Bakr b. Abū Shaybah And ʾAbū Kurayb > ʿAbdullāh b. Numayr > Hishām from his father

Babies were brought to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and he blessed them, and after having chewed (something, e. g. dates or any other sweet thing) he rubbed there with their soft palates. A baby was brought to him and he passed water over him (over his garment), so he asked water to be brought and sprinkled it, but he did not wash it.  

مسلم:٢٨٦aحَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ وَأَبُو كُرَيْبٍ قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ نُمَيْرٍ حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامٌ عَنْ أَبِيهِ

عَنْ عَائِشَةَ زَوْجِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ كَانَ يُؤْتَى بِالصِّبْيَانِ فَيُبَرِّكُ عَلَيْهِمْ وَيُحَنِّكُهُمْ فَأُتِيَ بِصَبِيٍّ فَبَالَ عَلَيْهِ فَدَعَا بِمَاءٍ فَأَتْبَعَهُ بَوْلَهُ وَلَمْ يَغْسِلْهُ
