عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " عَلِّمُوا أَوْلَادَكُمُ الصَّلَاةَ إِذَا بَلَغُوا سَبْعًا ، وَاضْرِبُوهُمْ عَلَيْهَا إِذَا بَلَغُوا عَشْرًا ، وَفَرِّقُوا بَيْنَهُمْ فِي الْمَضَاجِعِ " .
رَوَاهُ الْبَزَّارُ ، وَفِيهِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ الْعَوْفِيُّ ، قِيلَ فِيهِ : لَيِّنُ الْحَدِيثِ وَنَحْوُ ذَلِكَ ، وَلَمْ أَجِدْ مَنْ وَثَّقَهُ .
Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Teach your children the prayer when they reach seven years of age; and when they reach ten years, beat them for (abandoning) the prayer, and separate their beds."
Al-Bazzar recorded it; its chain contains Muhammad bin al-Hasan al-Awfi, about whom it has been said that he is weak in hadith, or words to that effect. I have not found anyone who declared him trustworthy.

وَعَنْ أَبِي رَافِعٍ قَالَ : وَجَدْنَا صَحِيفَةً فِي قِرَابِ سَيْفِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - بَعْدَ وَفَاتِهِ ، فِيهَا مَكْتُوبٌ : بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ ، وَفَرِّقُوا بَيْنَ مَضَاجِعِ الْغِلْمَانِ وَالْجَوَارِي وَالْأُخْوَةِ وَالْأَخَوَاتِ لِسَبْعِ سِنِينَ ، وَاضْرِبُوا أَبْنَاءَكُمْ عَلَى الصَّلَاةِ سَبْعًا ، مَلْعُونٌ مَلْعُونٌ مَنِ ادَّعَى إِلَى غَيْرِ قَوْمِهِ - أَوْ إِلَى غَيْرِ مَوَالِيهِ - مَلْعُونٌ مَنِ اقْتَطَعَ شَيْئًا مِنْ تُخُومِ الْأَرْضِ " . يَعْنِي بِذَلِكَ طُرُقَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ .
رَوَاهُ الْبَزَّارُ ، وَفِيهِ غَسَّانُ بْنُ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ يُوسُفَ بْنِ نَافِعٍ ، وَلَمْ أَجِدْ مَنْ ذَكَرَهُمَا .
Sayyiduna Abu Rafi' (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: After the passing of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), we found a document in the sheath of the Prophet's (peace and blessings be upon him) sword, in which was written: "In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Separate the beds of boys and girls, and of brothers and sisters, at the age of seven; and beat your children for the prayer at the age of seven. Accursed, accursed is the one who claims to belong to other than his own people (the narrator is unsure; perhaps the words are:) or attributes himself to other than his freeing masters. And accursed is the one who seizes any piece of land." (The narrator says:) By this the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) meant the one who seizes something from the roads of the Muslims.
Al-Bazzar recorded it; its chain mentions that Ghassan bin Ubaydullah narrated it from Yusuf bin Nafi', and I have not found anyone who mentions either of them.
