677. It was reported from 'Abdur-Raḥmān bin Ghanm, who said that Abū Mālik Al-Ash'arī said: "Should I not inform you of the prayer of the Prophet ﷺ?" So he said the Iqāmah, and caused the men to stand in rows, then caused the children to stand behind them, then led them in prayer. Then he described the prayer. Then he said: "This is how the prayer (should be prayed)." 'Abdul-A'lā (one of the narrators) said: "I think that he (ﷺ) said: '...of my nation.'" (Hasan)
677 - حَدَّثَنَا عِيسَى بْنُ شَاذَانَ، حَدَّثَنَا عَيَّاشٌ الرَّقَّامُ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْأَعْلَى، حَدَّثَنَا قُرَّةُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا بُدَيْلٌ، حَدَّثَنَا شَهْرُ بْنُ حَوْشَبٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ غَنْمٍ، قَالَ: قَالَ أَبُو مَالِكٍ الْأَشْعَرِيُّ: أَلَا أُحَدِّثُكُمْ بِصَلَاةِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «فَأَقَامَ الصَّلَاةَ، وَصَفَّ الرِّجَالَ وَصَفَّ خَلْفَهُمُ الْغِلْمَانَ، ثُمَّ صَلَّى بِهِمْ فَذَكَرَ صَلَاتَهُ»، ثُمَّ قَالَ: " هَكَذَا صَلَاةُ - قَالَ عَبْدُ الْأَعْلَى: لَا أَحْسَبُهُ إِلَّا قَالَ: صَلَاةُ أُمَّتِي - "

It is recommended that the older and more knowledgeable stand directly behind the Imām as preceded, see number 675. But there is no prohibition against the boy who has not reached the age of maturity from standing in the first row, as Ibn 'Abbās did during the Farewell Pilgrimage, and he said: "No one objected to it." See no. 1857 of Sahih Al-Bukhārī.
