كتاب الصلواتBook of Prayers
متى يؤمر الصبي بالصلاة؟When should a child be instructed to pray?
Hadith 3521
٣٥٢١ - حدثنا حفص عن محمد بن أبي يحيى عن امرأة منهم عن جدة لها: أن ⦗٢٦٤⦘ عمر مر بامرأة وهي توقظ صبيا لها يصلي وهو (يتلكأ) (١)، فقال: دعيه فليست عليه حتى يعقلها (٢).
Hazrat Umar once passed by a woman who was waking her child for prayer, and he was being stubborn. Hazrat Umar said to her, "Leave him; prayer is not obligatory upon him until he reaches maturity."
