Tahdhīb al-Aḥkām|Volume 2|Book 1|Chapter 18
اَلْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ اَلْحُصَيْنِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ اَلْفُضَيْلِ عَنْ إِسْحَاقَ بْنِ عَمَّارٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ:« إِذَا أَتَى عَلَى اَلصَّبِيِّ سِتُّ سِنِينَ وَجَبَتْ عَلَيْهِ اَلصَّلاَةُ وَ إِذَا أَطَاقَ اَلصَّوْمَ وَجَبَ عَلَيْهِ اَلصِّيَامُ»
Al-Husayn ibn Sa‘id, from Muhammad ibn Al-Husayn, from Muhammad ibn Al-Fudayl, from Ishaq ibn ‘Ammar:
Abu Abdillah عليه السلام, peace be upon him, said: "When a child reaches six years of age, prayer becomes obligatory upon him, and when he is able to fast, fasting becomes obligatory upon him."
