مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَلِيِّ بْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ اَلسِّنْدِيِّ عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ وَهْبٍ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ فِي كَمْ يُؤْخَذُ اَلصَّبِيُّ بِالصِّيَامِ فَقَالَ» مَا بَيْنَهُ وَ بَيْنَ خَمْسَ عَشْرَةَ سَنَةً وَ أَرْبَعَ عَشْرَةَ سَنَةً وَ إِنْ هُوَ صَامَ قَبْلَ ذَلِكَ فَدَعْهُ«.
Muhammad ibn Ali ibn Mahbub, from Ali ibn al-Sindi, from Hammad ibn Isa, from Muawiyah ibn Wahb, who said:
I (narrator) asked Abu Abdillah عليه السلام, peace be upon him, ‘at what age is the boy taken (made) to fasting?’ Imam عليه السلام said: “Between him and fifteen years and fourteen years, and if he fasts before that, then leave him.”
