قَالَ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مَنِيعٍ: حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ مُوسَى، ثَنَا ابْنُ لَهِيعَةَ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ الْحَارِثِ، قَالَ: إِنَّ سَعِيدَ بْنَ أَبِي هِلَالٍ أَخْبَرَهُ عَنْ رَجُلٍ مِنْهُمْ، عَنْ عَمِّهِ، قَالَ:
سَأَلْنَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ عَنْ صَلَاةِ الصِّبْيَانِ ؟ قَالَ: « إِذَا عَرَفَ أَحَدُهُمْ يَمِينَهُ مِنْ شِمَالِهِ فَمُرُوهُ بِالصَّلَاةِ
