407. (Sabrah bin Ma'bad Al-Juhnī) narrated that Allāh's Messenger ﷺ said: "Teach the boy Ṣalāt when he is seven years old, and beat him (if he does not pray) when he is ten." (Hasan)
[He said:] There is something on this topic from 'Abdullāh bin 'Amr.
Abū 'Eisā said: The Ḥadīth of Sabrah bin Ma'bad Al-Juhnī is a Hasan Ṣaḥīḥ Ḥadīth.
It is to be acted upon according to the people of knowledge.
This is the view of Aḥmad and Ishāq, they said that whatever of Ṣalāt a boy does not perform after ten, then he is to perform it.
Abū 'Eisā said: Sabrah is Ibn Ma'bad Al-Juhnī, and they call him Ibn 'Awsajah.

Commentary
Due to the importance, high position and significance of prayer in religion, before prayer becomes obligatory for a child, he/she should be taught and trained for it in childhood, so that he/she adopts it as a habit as soon as he or she reaches the age of discretion.
