Abu Malik Ash’ari (ra) related: The Prophet (saw) would take care of these things before commencing the prayer - that the rows of the men were at the front and the children behind them. The prophet (saw) would then state “This is the Salah of my Ummah” (Sunan Abu Dawood, vol 1, p98)

Assalamu alaykum

When we take our children to some duniyavi mahfil we take care of our children, we prepare them for the occasion, the discipline to be followed in the crowd. When elders are chatting how should the children behave etc.

But when coming to durbar of Allah SWT, everything is forgotten. I have experienced that the children push one another, many times I was pushed and about to fall etc., their pricking each other, bashing, chit chatting, running from one place to another. etc. But I cannot tell anything to them neither the Imam could say anything, reason this masjid is in neighbourhood of intellectuals*.

Exactly as you said, but *ignorants regd. deen. There's absolutely no problem with sending kids to a corner of the masjid, they can cause nuisance. I've seen that the problems come up only when fathers want to pray salah with their kids but can't or not allowed to, they want to pray right in the middle and also keep an eye on the kid, it does not matter to them if the kids causing a nuisance to others. Frankly, if they want that, they better take their kid and pray at a corner themselves, that what we make them do here.

sis ARAM for the hadith.
