[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ offered me to fight in the Battle of Uhud when I was fourteen years old, but I was not given permission. Then, on the day of the Battle of the Trench, when I was fifteen years old, he gave me permission and I went to Umar ibn Abdul Aziz who was the Caliph at that time and told him about this incident. Umar said that this age is the boundary between adolescence and adulthood, and he wrote to his workers to include me in the group of adults. The wording of this hadith is reported by Muhammad ibn Ubayd from the hadith of Ubaydullah ibn Umar. And Abu Abdullah al-Hafiz informed me that Muhammad ibn Abdullah ibn Quraysh reported to him from Hasan ibn Sufyan, who reported from Muhammad ibn Abdullah ibn Numayr, who reported from his father, who mentioned the hadith in a similar way, except that he said, "The Messenger of Allah offered me to fight in the Battle of the Trench when I was fifteen years old, and he gave me permission." Naafi' said, "I went to Umar ibn Abdul Aziz and mentioned this to him, but he said, 'Anyone who is less than that should be included in the group of minors.'"

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ inspected me on the battlefield on the Day of Uhud, and I was fourteen years old. He did not allow me (to take part in the fight). He inspected me on the Day of Khandaq-and I was fifteen yearsold, and he permitted me (to fight), Nafi' said: I came to 'Umar b. 'Abd al-'Aziz who was then Caliph, and narrated this tradition to him. He said: Surely, this is the demarcation between a minor and a major. So he wrote to his governors that they should pay subsistence allowance to one who was fifteen years old, but should treat those of lesser age among children.
