Summary
The narration with this wording is not found in any reliable hadith work of the Sunni tradition. It appears only in Wasa’il al-Syiah by al-Hurr al-‘Amili, a Shia scholar, so it must not be attributed to the Prophet, circulated or used as evidence. Another hadith may be relied upon, namely the narration of Abu Hurairah on a child's right to be taught writing, given a good name and married once of age. Its chain is weak but it is supported by a corroborating narration (shahid) through another route.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Oleh itu, dilarang menyandarkan riwayat ini kepada Nabi SAW dan tidak boleh disebar dan dijadikan hujah.
