و عَنْ أَبِي ثرية سَبْرَةَ بْنِ مَعْبَدٍ اَلْجُهَنِيِّ رَضِيَ اللَّه عَنْهُ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اَللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّه عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " علموا الصبي الصلاة لسبع سِنِينَ" وَاضْرِبُوهُ عَلَيْهَا ابْنَ عَشْرٍ سنين" حَدِيث حَسَن رَوَاهُ أَبُو دَاوُدَ، وَالتِّرْمِذِيُّ وَقَالَ حَدِيث حَسَن. ولفظ أَبِي دَاوُد: " مُرُوا الصَّبِيَّ بِالصَّلاَةِ إِذَا بَلَغَ سَبْعَ سِنِينَ".
