Jami at-Tirmidhi 3774 (Book 49, Hadith 173) #29435
Wealth & Children as a Trial

SUMMARY: The hadith is about the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) interrupting his sermon to pick up his grandchildren, Hasan and Husain, who were walking and falling down. He then reminded the people of Allah's words that wealth and children are a trial.

Narrated Buraidah: "The Messenger of Allah was delivering a Khutbah to us when Al-Hasan and Al-Husain peace be upon them came, wearing red shirts, walking and falling down. So the Messenger of Allah descended from the Minbar and carried them, and placed them in front of him. Then he said: 'Allah spoke the Truth: Indeed, your wealth and your children are a trial (64:15). I looked at these two children walking and falling down, and I could not bear patiently anymore until I interrupted my talk and picked them up".
حَدَّثَنَا الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ حُرَيْثٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ حُسَيْنِ بْنِ وَاقِدٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ بُرَيْدَةَ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبِي، ‏:‏ بُرَيْدَةَ يَقُولُ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ يَخْطُبُنَا إِذْ جَاءَ الْحَسَنُ وَالْحُسَيْنُ عَلَيْهِمَا السَّلاَمُ عَلَيْهِمَا قَمِيصَانِ أَحْمَرَانِ يَمْشِيَانِ وَيَعْثُرَانِ فَنَزَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ مِنَ الْمِنْبَرِ فَحَمَلَهُمَا وَوَضَعَهُمَا بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ ‏"‏ صَدَقَ اللَّهُ ‏:‏ ‏(‏ إنَّمَا أَمْوَالُكُمْ وَأَوْلاَدُكُمْ فِتْنَةٌ ‏)‏ نَظَرْتُ إِلَى هَذَيْنِ الصَّبِيَّيْنِ يَمْشِيَانِ وَيَعْثُرَانِ فَلَمْ أَصْبِرْ حَتَّى قَطَعْتُ حَدِيثِي وَرَفَعْتُهُمَا ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ غَرِيبٌ إِنَّمَا نَعْرِفُهُ مِنْ حَدِيثِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ وَاقِدٍ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks of the importance of family values in Islam. It shows how much love and care Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) had for his grandchildren, Hasan and Husain, that he was willing to interrupt his sermon to pick them up when they were walking and falling down. He also reminded the people of Allah's words that wealth and children are a trial - meaning they can be both blessings but also tests from Allah on how we use them in our lives.
