Bayhaqi 17807 — One upon whom jihad is not obligatory

أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ، أَخْبَرَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ قُرَيْشٍ، أنا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ سُفْيَانَ، ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ نُمَيْرٍ، ثنا أَبِي، ثنا عُبَيْدُ اللهِ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُمَا قَالَ: " عَرَضَنِي رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَوْمَ أُحُدٍ فِي الْقِتَالِ، وَأَنَا ابْنُ أَرْبَعَ عَشْرَةَ فَلَمْ يُجِزْنِي، وَعَرَضَنِي يَوْمَ الْخَنْدَقِ، وَأَنَا ابْنُ خَمْسَ عَشْرَةَ سَنَةً فَأَجَازَنِي ". قَالَ نَافِعٌ: فَقَدِمْتُ عَلَى عُمَرَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ وَهُوَ يَوْمَئِذٍ خَلِيفَةٌ فَحَدَّثْتُهُ بِهَذَا الْحَدِيثِ، فَقَالَ: إِنَّ هَذَا الْحَدُّ بَيْنَ الصَّغِيرِ وَالْكَبِيرِ. وَكَتَبَ إِلَى عُمَّالِهِ أَنْ يَفْرِضُوا لِمَنْ كَانَ ابْنَ خَمْسَ عَشْرَةَ سَنَةً وَمَا كَانَ دُونَ ذَلِكَ فَاجْعَلُوهُ فِي الْعِيَالِ. رَوَاهُ مُسْلِمٌ فِي الصَّحِيحِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ نُمَيْرٍ، وَأَخْرَجَهُ الْبُخَارِيُّ مِنْ وَجْهٍ آخَرَ عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ.
Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: On the day of Uhud I presented myself before the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) for the fighting of Uhud. He (peace and blessings be upon him) did not permit me, and at that time I was fourteen years old. Then on the day of the Trench (al-Khandaq) I presented myself when I was fifteen years old, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) permitted me (to take part). Nafi' (may Allah have mercy on him) said: I went to Umar bin Abd al-Aziz (may Allah have mercy on him) during his caliphate and narrated this hadith to him, and he said: This is the dividing line between the minor and the adult. Then he wrote to his governors that whoever was fifteen years old should be included in the fighting, and whoever was younger than that should be placed among the dependants.
