Bayhaqi 5093 — The duty of fathers and mothers to teach children

أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ الْقَاضِي، وَأَبُو زَكَرِيَّا بْنُ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ الْمُزَكِّي قَالَا: ثنا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ، ثنا بَحْرُ بْنُ نَصْرٍ قَالَ: قُرِئَ عَلَى ابْنِ وَهْبٍ، أَخْبَرَكَ هِشَامُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي مُعَاذُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ الْجُهَنِيُّ قَالَ: دَخَلْنَا عَلَيْهِ فَقَالَ لِامْرَأَتِهِ: مَتَى يُصَلِّي الصَّبِيُّ؟ قَالَتْ: نَعَمْ، كَانَ رَجُلٌ مِنَّا يَذْكُرُ، عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنَّهُ سُئِلَ عَنْ ذَلِكَ فَقَالَ: " مَتَى عَرَفَ يَمِينَهُ مِنْ يَسَارِهِ فَمُرُوهُ بِالصَّلَاةِ ".
Hisham bin Sa'd (may Allah have mercy on him) says: We went to Mu'adh bin Abdullah al-Juhani (may Allah have mercy on him), and he said to his wife: When should a child pray? She said: A man [among us] used to narrate from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that when he (peace and blessings be upon him) was asked about this, he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "When he can tell his right hand from his left, command him to pray."
