Sahih al-Bukhari 5035 (Book 66, Hadith 58) #4817
Understanding the Muhkam Surahs of the Quran

SUMMARY: The Mufassal surahs of the Quran are the Muhkam, and Ibn Abbas learned them when he was a boy of ten years old.

Narrated Sa'id bin Jubair: Those surahs which you people call the Mufassal, are the Muhkam. And Ibn 'Abbas said, "Allah's Apostle died when I was a boy of ten years, and I had learnt the Muhkam (of the Qur'an).
حَدَّثَنِي مُوسَى بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَوَانَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي بِشْرٍ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ، قَالَ إِنَّ الَّذِي تَدْعُونَهُ الْمُفَصَّلَ هُوَ الْمُحْكَمُ، قَالَ وَقَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ تُوُفِّيَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ وَأَنَا ابْنُ عَشْرِ سِنِينَ وَقَدْ قَرَأْتُ الْمُحْكَمَ‏.‏

EXPLANATIONS:
The hadith is about understanding the different types of surahs in the Quran. There are two types - mufassal and muhkam. The mufassal surahs are those that contain long verses with many details while the muhkam ones have shorter verses that are more direct and clear in their meaning. This hadith also tells us that Ibn Abbas was able to learn these two types of surahs when he was only ten years old. This shows us how important it is to start learning about Islam from an early age so we can understand its teachings better as we grow older. It also teaches us to be patient and persistent in our studies so we can gain knowledge even if it takes time or effort.
