Hadith 4399
حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ ، عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ ، عَنْ أَبِي ظَبْيَانَ ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ ، قَالَ : " أُتِيَ عُمَرُ بِمَجْنُونَةٍ قَدْ زَنَتْ فَاسْتَشَارَ فِيهَا أُنَاسًا فَأَمَرَ بِهَا عُمَرُ أَنْ تُرْجَمَ ، مُرَّ بِهَا عَلَى عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ رِضْوَانُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ ، فَقَالَ : مَا شَأْنُ هَذِهِ ؟ قَالُوا : مَجْنُونَةُ بَنِي فُلَانٍ زَنَتْ فَأَمَرَ بِهَا عُمَرُ أَنْ تُرْجَمَ ، قَالَ : فَقَالَ ارْجِعُوا بِهَا ثُمَّ أَتَاهُ ، فَقَالَ : يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ أَمَا عَلِمْتَ أَنَّ الْقَلَمَ قَدْ رُفِعَ عَنْ ثَلَاثَةٍ : عَنِ الْمَجْنُونِ حَتَّى يَبْرَأَ ، وَعَنِ النَّائِمِ حَتَّى يَسْتَيْقِظَ ، وَعَنِ الصَّبِيِّ حَتَّى يَعْقِلَ ، قَالَ : بَلَى ، قَالَ : فَمَا بَالُ هَذِهِ ؟ تُرْجَمُ ، قَالَ : لَا شَيْءَ قَالَ : فَأَرْسِلْهَا قَالَ : فَأَرْسَلَهَا قَالَ : فَجَعَلَ يُكَبِّرُ "
Narrated Ali ibn Abu Talib: Ibn Abbas said: A lunatic woman who had committed adultery was brought to Umar. He consulted the people and ordered that she should be stoned. Ali ibn Abu Talib passed by and said: What is the matter with this (woman)? They said: This is a lunatic woman belonging to a certain family. She has committed adultery. Umar has given orders that she should be stoned. He said: Take her back. He then came to him and said: Commander of the Faithful, do you not know that there are three people whose actions are not recorded: a lunatic till he is restored to reason, a sleeper till he awakes, and a boy till he reaches puberty? He said: Yes. He then asked: Why is it that this woman is being stoned? He said: There is nothing. He then said: Let her go. He (Umar) let her go and began to utter: Allah is most great.
Hadith 4400
حَدَّثَنَا يُوسُفُ بْنُ مُوسَى ، حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ ، عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ نَحْوَهُ ، وَقَالَ أَيْضًا : حَتَّى يَعْقِلَ ، وَقَالَ : وَعَنِ الْمَجْنُونِ حَتَّى يَفِيقَ ، قَالَ : فَجَعَلَ عُمَرُ يُكَبِّرُ .
A similar tradition has also been transmitted by al-Amash through a different chain of narrators. He also said: “. . . . Till he reaches puberty, and a lunatic till he is restored to consciousness. ” Umar then began to utter: Allah is most great.
Hadith 4401
حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ السَّرْحِ ، أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ ، أَخْبَرَنِي جَرِيرُ بْنُ حَازِمٍ ، عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ مِهْرَانَ ، عَنْ أَبِي ظَبْيَانَ ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ ، قَالَ : مُرَّ عَلَى عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ بِمَعْنَى عُثْمَانَ قَالَ : أَوَ مَا تَذْكُرُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ : رُفِعَ الْقَلَمُ عَنْ ثَلَاثَةٍ عَنِ الْمَجْنُونِ الْمَغْلُوبِ عَلَى عَقْلِهِ حَتَّى يَفِيقَ ، وَعَنِ النَّائِمِ حَتَّى يَسْتَيْقِظَ ، وَعَنِ الصَّبِيِّ حَتَّى يَحْتَلِمَ ، قَالَ : صَدَقْتَ قَالَ فَخَلَّى عَنْهَا .
Narrated Ali ibn Abu Talib: Ibn Abbas said: A lunatic woman passed by Ali ibn Abu Talib. He then mentioned the rest of the tradition to the same effect as Uthman mentioned. This version has: Do you not remember that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ has said: There are three whose actions are not recorded: a lunatic whose mind is deranged till he is restored to consciousness, a sleeper till he awakes, and a boy till he reaches puberty?
Hadith 4402
حَدَّثَنَا هَنَّادٌ ، عَنْ أَبِي الْأَحْوَصِ . ح وَحَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ الْمَعْنَى ، عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ السَّائِبِ ، عَنْ أَبِي ظَبْيَانَ ، قَالَ هَنَّادٌ الْجَنْبيُّ ، قَالَ : " أُتِيَ عُمَرُ بِامْرَأَةٍ قَدْ فَجَرَتْ فَأَمَرَ بِرَجْمِهَا فَمَرَّ عَلِيٌّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ فَأَخَذَهَا ، فَخَلَّى سَبِيلَهَا فَأُخْبِرَ عُمَرُ ، قَالَ : ادْعُوا لِي عَلِيًّا فَجَاءَ عَلِيٌّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ ، فَقَالَ : يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ لَقَدْ عَلِمْتَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ : رُفِعَ الْقَلَمُ عَنْ ثَلَاثَةٍ : عَنِ الصَّبِيِّ حَتَّى يَبْلُغَ ، وَعَنِ النَّائِمِ حَتَّى يَسْتَيْقِظَ ، وَعَنِ الْمَعْتُوهِ حَتَّى يَبْرَأَ ، وَإِنَّ هَذِهِ مَعْتُوهَةُ بَنِي فُلَانٍ لَعَلَّ الَّذِي أَتَاهَا وَهِيَ فِي بَلَائِهَا قَالَ : فَقَالَ عُمَرُ : لَا أَدْرِي ، فَقَالَ عَلِيٌّ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَام وَأَنَا لَا أَدْرِي " .
Narrated Ali ibn Abu Talib: Abu Zubyan said: A woman who had committed adultery was brought to Umar. He gave orders that she should be stoned. Ali passed by just then. He seized her and let her go. Umar was informed of it. He said: Ask Ali to come to me. Ali came to him and said: Commander of the Faithful, you know that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: There are three (people) whose actions are not recorded: A boy till he reaches puberty, a sleeper till he awakes, a lunatic till he is restored to reason. This is an idiot (mad) woman belonging to the family of so and so. Someone might have done this action with her when she suffered the fit of lunacy. Umar said: I do not know. Ali said: I do not know.
Hadith 4403
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 .
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. "
