The row with the young children is a valid row in which the prayer is established

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Is the prayer between two small children like the prayer of a person praying alone?
If a child or two children stand behind the row with a person, he is not considered to be praying alone; because it is established in the hadith of Anas ibn Malik (that he stood behind the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) with an orphan with him) and the orphan had not reached puberty. So the correct view is that the row with the young children is a valid row in which the prayer is established. Also, it is permissible for a young child who has not reached puberty to be your imam, and he is more deserving of it than you if he is more proficient in recitation than you.Meaning: A man is forty years old and a boy is ten years old, but the boy memorizes the Qur'an, or memorizes most of the Qur'an well, and the older man does not memorize anything. Which one is more deserving of leading the prayer? The young one, even if he has not reached puberty, because 'Amr ibn Salimah al-Jarmiy (may Allah be pleased with him) led his people in prayer when he was six or seven years old,Meaning: He became their imam when he was six or seven years old, during the time of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him); because he was the most proficient reciter among his people; because he was young and had no duties to distract him, so he would receive the riders coming from Madinah and learn the Qur'an from them, so they made him their imam, in accordance with the command of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) where he said: (The one who leads the people is the one most proficient in reciting the Book of Allah) And it is said that he was wearing a shirt or a short lower garment, and when he prostrated, the garment would rise, until it was close to his private parts -it would be exposed- so a woman from the tribe came out one day while he was prostrating and his garment was raised, but his private parts were not exposed,So she said, in exaggeration: Cover for us the backside of our reciter,The "ist": It is the backside, not the private part of a woman. So when she said this, it seemed to the people that the woman was criticizing them,She says: How can your reciter be without a garment covering him? So they bought him a garment and clothed him in it,He said: I have not been as happy since Islam as I am with this garment. Allahu Akbar.
