497. Hishām bin Sa'd narrated: "We visited Mu'ādh bin 'Abdullāh bin Khubaib Al-Juhānī, and he asked his wife: 'When should a boy start praying?' She replied: 'A man from among us narrated from the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ that he was asked about this, so he said: "When he can differentiate his right hand from his left hand, then command him to prayer."

497 - حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ دَاوُدَ الْمَهْرِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ، حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ، حَدَّثَنِي مُعَاذُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ خُبَيْبٍ الْجُهَنِيُّ، قَالَ: دَخَلْنَا عَلَيْهِ، فَقَالَ لِامْرَأَتِهِ: مَتَى يُصَلِّي الصَّبِيُّ، فَقَالَتْ: كَانَ رَجُلٌ مِنَّا يَذْكُرُ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنَّهُ سُئِلَ عَنْ ذَلِكَ، فَقَالَ: «إِذَا عَرَفَ يَمِينَهُ مِنْ شِمَالِهِ، فَمُرُوهُ بِالصَّلَاةِ»
