Sayyidina Ibn Umar (RA) narrated, “I was presented to Allah’s Messenger (SAW) for an army while I was fourteen years old. He did not accept me (in the army). Then, I was presented to him next year for the army while I as fifteen years old and he accepted me.” Nafi said that he narrated this hadith to Umar ibn Adul Aziz and he said, “This is the distinction between childhood and adulthood.” And he wrote to his officers that the fifteen years-olds must be given a share of the booty. [Bukhari 2664, Muslim 1868, Ibn e Majah 2543]
