حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، حَدَّثَنَا وُهَيْبٌ، عَنْ خَالِدٍ، عَنْ أَبِي الضُّحَى، عَنْ عَلِيٍّ

عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «رُفِعَ الْقَلَمُ عَنْ ثَلَاثَةٍ عَنِ النَّائِمِ حَتَّى يَسْتَيْقِظَ وَعَنِ الصَّبِيِّ حَتَّى يَحْتَلِمَ وَعَنِ الْمَجْنُونِ حَتَّى يَعْقِلَ»

The Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) 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.

আলী (রাঃ) সূত্রে বর্ণিত। নবী সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম বলেনঃ তিন ধরণের লোকের উপর থেকে কলম উঠিয়ে নেয়া হয়েছেঃ (১) ঘুমন্ত ব্যক্তি, যতক্ষণ না জাগ্রত হয়, (২) নাবালেগ, যতক্ষণ না সে বালেগ হয় এবং (৩) পাগল, যতক্ষণ না জ্ঞানসম্পন্ন হয়।

ইমাম আবূ দাঊদ (রহঃ) বলেন, ইবনু জুরাইজ পর্যায়ক্রমে কাসমম ইবনু ইয়াযীদ থেকে আলী (রাঃ) থেকে নবী সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম-এর সূত্রে এ হাদীস বর্ণনা করেন। তাতে 'বার্ধক্যজনিত কারণে নিস্তেজ বুদ্ধিসম্পন্ন ব্যক্তি' কথাটুকু রয়েছে।[1] সহীহ।

علی رضی اللہ عنہ کہتے ہیں کہ نبی اکرم صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے فرمایا: قلم تین آدمیوں سے اٹھا لیا گیا ہے: سوئے ہوئے شخص سے یہاں تک کہ وہ بیدار ہو جائے، بچے سے یہاں تک کہ وہ بالغ ہو جائے، اور دیوانے سے یہاں تک کہ اسے عقل آ جائے ۔ ابوداؤد کہتے ہیں: اسے ابن جریج نے قاسم بن یزید سے انہوں نے علی رضی اللہ عنہ سے، علی رضی اللہ عنہ نے نبی اکرم صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم سے مرفوعاً روایت کیا ہے، اور اس میں کھوسٹ بوڑھے کا اضافہ ہے۔

Telah menceritakan kepada kami [Musa bin Isma'il] berkata, telah menceritakan kepada kami [Wuhaib] dari [Khalid] dari [Abu Adh Dhuha] dari [Ali Alais Salam] dari nabi shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam, beliau bersabda: "Pena pencatat amal dan dosa itu diangkat dari tiga golongan; orang tidur hingga ia bangun, anak kecil hingga ia bermimpi dan orang gila hingga ia berakal."

Abu Dawud berkata, "Hadits ini diriwayatkan oleh [Ibnu Juraij], dari [Al Qasim bin Yazid] dari [Ali radliallahu 'anhu], dari Nabi shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam." Ia menambahkan di dalamnya, "dan kharif (orang yang kurang akalnya)

Ali (r.a)'den; rivayet edildiğine göre; Rasulullah (s.a.v.) şöyle buyurmuştur: "Üç gruptan kalem kaldırılmıştır; uyanıncaya kadar uyuyandan, buluğa erinceye kadar çocuktan ve akıllanıncaya kadar akıl hastasından." Ebû Davûd der ki: Bu hadisi Ibn Cerir Kasım b. Yezid'den, o da Ali (r.a) vasıtasıyla Ra-sulullah'tan (rivayet etti ve) ona "ve bunaklıktan.." sözünü ilave etti

The note in this edition

قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ: رَوَاهُ ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ عَنِ الْقَاسِمِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ عَنْ عَلِيٍّ رضى الله عنه عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ زَادَ فِيهِ «وَالْخَرِفِ»

Abu Dawud said: Ibn Juraij has transmitted it from Al-Qasim ibn Yazid on the authority of Ali from the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam). This version adds: “and an old man who is feeble-minded.”

What it means

The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) informed that accountability is binding on all the children of Adam except for these three: A child till he grows up and reaches puberty. An insane and crazy person till his mind is restored. A sleeping person till he wakes up. Accountability has been lifted from them, and their sinful actions are not recorded against them.

However, goodness is recorded for a young boy, but not for the insane or sleeping person, because they are in the category of those who are not capable of valid worship due to the loss of consciousness.

What it teaches

  • A person’s lack of eligibility is either due to sleep, which may cause him to fail to wake up to perform his duties, or because his young age is associated with legal incompetence, or because of insanity with which his mental functions are disturbed, as well as similar cases such as drunkenness. Whoever becomes unable to discern matters and perceive them properly is no longer legally qualified due to one of these three reasons. Allah Almighty, out of His justice, forbearance, and generosity, has absolved him of the blame for his transgression or shortcomings with regard to the right of Allah Almighty.
  • Not recording their sins against them does not contradict the establishment of some worldly rulings against them. For example, if an insane person kills, there is no retaliation or expiation due against him, and his paternal family members must pay blood money.
  • Puberty has three signs: the emission of semen, through a wet dream or otherwise; the growth of pubic hair; and reaching the age of fifteen. A woman has a fourth sign in addition: menstruation.
  • As-Subki said: A boy is a child. Someone else said: A child in his mother’s womb is called a fetus, and when he is born, he is a child. When he is weaned, he is a boy until he is seven. Then, he becomes an adolescent until he is ten; then a minor until he is fifteen. What is certain is that he is called a boy in all of these cases. This was said by As-Suyūti.
