EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith encourages parents to teach their children about the importance of prayer from a young age. It is recommended that children should be taught how to pray when they reach seven years old and should be disciplined if they do not offer it by the time they are ten. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ was emphasizing the importance of teaching children about prayer early on in life so that it becomes an integral part of their lives as adults. He also wanted to ensure that parents were disciplining their children in order for them to understand why prayer is important and how it can benefit them spiritually. By teaching our children about prayer at an early age we can help them develop strong spiritual foundations which will stay with them throughout their lives.
