Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 32284 — When children should learn the Quran
٣٢٢٨٤ - حدثنا سفيان بن عيينة عن عبد الكريم عن عمرو بن شعيب (١) قال: كان الغلام إذا أفصح من بني عبد المطلب علمه النبي ﷺ هذه الآية سبعًا: ﴿وَقُلِ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي لَمْ يَتَّخِذْ وَلَدًا وَلَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ شَرِيكٌ فِي الْمُلْكِ وَلَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ وَلِيٌّ مِنَ الذُّلِّ وَكَبِّرْهُ تَكْبِيرًا﴾ (٢) [الإسراء: ١١١].
Abd al-Karim said that Amr bin Shu'ayb said: When a child of the tribe of Banu Abd al-Muttalib began to speak clearly, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would teach that child this verse seven times: "All praise is for Allah, who has never taken any son, who has no partner in the dominion, and who has no helper on account of weakness; and proclaim His greatness with the utmost proclaiming." [Al-Isra: 111]
