وَ فِي رِوَايَةِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَحْمَدَ عَنِ اَلْعُبَيْدِيِّ عَنْ زَكَرِيَّا اَلْمُؤْمِنِ رَفَعَهُ أَنَّهُ قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: "إِذَا بَلَغَتِ اَلْجَارِيَةُ سِتَّ سِنِينَ فَلاَ يُقَبِّلُهَا اَلْغُلاَمُ وَ اَلْغُلاَمُ لاَ يُقَبِّلُ اَلْمَرْأَةَ إِذَا جَازَ سَبْعَ سِنِينَ".
In a narration from Muhammad ibn Ahmad, from Al-Ubaydi, from Zakariya al-Mu'min, who raised it to Abu Abdillah عليه السلام, he said: "When a girl reaches six years of age, a boy should not kiss her, and a boy should not kiss a woman once he passes seven years of age."
