The Age Factor (Hadith No. 76)
Salam,
Bismillah.
What is the minimum age for learning? This Hadith will tell you: NONE!
Ibn Abbas (RA) narrates this incident from his early puberty..
Narrated Ibn ‘Abbas:
Once I came riding a she-ass and had (just) attained the age of puberty. Allah’s Apostle was offering the prayer at Mina. There was no wall in front of him and I passed in front of some of the row while they were offering their prayers. There I let the she-ass loose to graze and entered the row, and nobody objected to it.
Remember, children don’t have to go to school to learn. The environment alone is enough to teach them!
Wassalam!
