Arabic hadith text

حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ نُمَيْرٍ، وَأَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ وَأَبُو أُسَامَةَ قَالُوا حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، قَالَ عُرِضْتُ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَوْمَ أُحُدٍ وَأَنَا ابْنُ أَرْبَعَ عَشْرَةَ سَنَةً فَلَمْ يُجِزْنِي وَعُرِضْتُ عَلَيْهِ يَوْمَ الْخَنْدَقِ وَأَنَا ابْنُ خَمْسَ عَشْرَةَ سَنَةً فَأَجَازَنِي ‏.‏ قَالَ نَافِعٌ فَحَدَّثْتُ بِهِ عُمَرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ فِي خِلاَفَتِهِ فَقَالَ هَذَا فَصْلُ مَا بَيْنَ الصَّغِيرِ وَالْكَبِيرِ ‏.‏

'Ali ibn Muhammad narrated to us; 'Abdullah ibn Numayr, Abu Mu'awiyah, and Abu Usamah narrated to us; they said: 'Ubaydullah ibn 'Umar narrated to us, from Nafi', from Ibn 'Umar, who said: I was presented before the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) on the day of Uhud when I was fourteen, and he did not grant me permission. I was presented before him on the day of the Trench when I was fifteen, and he granted me permission. Nafi' said: I related this to 'Umar ibn 'Abd al-'Aziz during his caliphate, and he said: This is the dividing line between the young and the adult.
