English narration

Narrated by علي بن أبي طالب الهاشمي

Narrated Ali ibn Abu Talib: The Prophet ﷺ said: There are three (persons) whose actions are not recorded: a sleeper till he awakes, a boy till he reaches puberty, and a lunatic till he comes to reason. Abu Dawud said: Ibn Juraij has transmitted it from Al-Qasim bin Yazid on the authority of Ali from the Prophet ﷺ. This version adds: "and an old man who is feeble-minded. "

حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيل ، حَدَّثَنَا وُهَيْبٌ ، عَنْ خَالِدٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي الضُّحَى ، عَنْ عَلِيٍّ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَام ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، قَالَ : "

رُفِعَ الْقَلَمُ عَنْ ثَلَاثَةٍ : عَنِ النَّائِمِ حَتَّى يَسْتَيْقِظَ ، وَعَنِ الصَّبِيِّ حَتَّى يَحْتَلِمَ ، وَعَنِ الْمَجْنُونِ حَتَّى يَعْقِلَ

" ، قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُد : رَوَاهُ ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ , عَنِ الْقَاسِمِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ ، عَنْ عَلِيٍّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ زَادَ فِيهِ وَالْخَرِفِ .
