One of the popular Scholars and Hadith narrators as a Sahaba, is indeed Abdullah Ibn Umar(R), the son of Umar Ibn Al-Khattab(R). He was born approximately ten years before the Hijrah. Even though we rarely know the dates of birth, in this case, we know exactly because he’s the one who told us that he presented himself to the Prophet(S) at the Battle of Badr, he was rejected as he was only thirteen years old. Then he attempted again at the Battle of Uhud and was rejected once more as he was fourteen years old. The first Battle he participated was ‘Khandaq’ when he was fifteen years old. So the battle of ‘Khandaq’ took place five years after the Hijrah, Abdullah Ibn Umar(R) is fifteen years old, therefore he was born ten years before the Hijrah. This shows us how back then, adulthood was considered to be approximately fifteen years old.

Abdullah Ibn Umar(R) converted to Islam relatively early, but not of the first batches. It is said he converted approximately 4-5 years after the Da’wah. While he was ten years old, he migrated to Madinah with his father, Umar Ibn Al-Khattab. This shows how even at the age of eleven or twelve, Abdullah Ibn Umar’s aspirations were high as he was volunteering himself for the battles. As we know the battle of Badr was only volunteering while Uhud was defensive, but he still showed up to participate despite his age.
