عن عمرو بن شعيب، عن أبيه، عن جده رضي الله عنه قال: قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم : «مُرُوا أولادَكم بالصلاةِ وهم أَبْنَاءُ سَبْعِ سِنِينَ، واضْرِبُوهُمْ عليها، وهم أَبْنَاءُ عَشْرٍ، وفَرِّقُوا بَيْنَهُمْ في المَضَاجِعِ». وعن أبي ثرية سبرة بن معبد الجهني رضي الله عنه قال: قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم : «عَلِّمُوا الصَّبِيَّ الصَّلَاةَ لِسَبْع سِنِينَ، واضْرِبُوهُ عليها ابْنَ عَشْرِ سِنِينَ». ولفظ أبي داود: «مُرُوا الصَّبِيَّ بالصلاةِ إذا بَلَغَ سَبْعَ سِنِينَ».
