Chapter 2 · Prayer (Kitab Al-Salat)حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ دَاوُدَ الْمَهْرِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ، حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ، حَدَّثَنِي مُعَاذُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ خُبَيْبٍ الْجُهَنِيُّ، قَالَ: دَخَلْنَا عَلَيْهِ، فَقَالَ لِامْرَأَتِه: مَتَى يُصَلِّي الصَّبِيُّ ؟ فَقَالَتْ: كَانَ رَجُلٌ مِنَّا يَذْكُرُ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، أَنَّهُ سُئِلَ عَنْ ذَلِكَ، فَقَالَ: إِذَا عَرَفَ يَمِينَهُ مِنْ شِمَالِهِ، فَمُرُوهُ بِالصَّلَاةِ .

We entered upon Muadh Ibn Abdullah Ibn Khubayb al-Juhani. He said to his wife: When (at what age) should a boy pray? She replied: Some person of us reported: The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم was asked about it; he said: When a boy distinguishes right hand from the left hand, then command him to pray.
