Abstract

Prayer or Salat in Islam occupies a very important position, even prayer is the second pillar of Islam after the creed, even the command to pray has been instilled since the age of 7 years as described in the hadith of the prophet. Explicitly the hadith of the prophet related to the command to pray at the age of 7 years and the permissibility of hitting/to beat them at the age of 10 years were narrated by several narrators. Many use the hadith of the prophet as legitimacy of the ability to hit children, even though it is contrary to the principles of education. This study discusses the hadiths about the command to pray early and the permissibility of hitting children in terms of matan criticism and sanad criticism. The method that will be used is to use developmental psychology theory and the matan and sanad criticism method. The results of this study indicate that understanding the hadith is very important. There is no conflict between modern educational theories and education in Islam. The conclusion of this study is the understanding of the hadith about the ability to hit children cannot be understood textually, but the correct understanding of the hadith is in accordance with the development of science.
