Summary/Abstract: The article discusses a well knowen hadith of Allah’s Messinger s.w.s. about teaching namaz to children:”Teach a child to offer namaz when it attains the age of seven, and (strike him) command it when it is age ten.” Interpreting the words vadribuhu (ُ بِوُه (وَاضْ to mean strike him is partial and has no foundation in the practice of Allah’s Messanger s.w.s, who always and everywhere recommended mercy and compation towards weak, what children andoubtedly are at the age of ten. Keeping this in mind, in this article we offered a satisfying solution, based upon detaled analysis of given hadith, its comentaries and translations to Bosnian language, which holds the essence of the Messinger’s intention to persuade a child at the age of ten to offer salah.
