Hadith 3255

أَخْبَرَنَا سَعِيدٌ، نا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ، نا الْأَعْمَشُ، عَنْ أَبِي ظَبْيَانَ، قَالَ: أُتِيَ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ بِمَجْنُونَةٍ فَأَمَرَ بِرَجْمِهَا، فَمُرَّ بِهَا عَلَى عَلِيٍّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ يَتْبَعُهَا الصِّبْيَانُ، فَقَالَ: مَا هَذِهِ؟ قَالُوا: مَجْنُونَةٌ فَجَرَتْ، فَأَمَرَ عُمَرُ بِرَجْمِهَا، فَقَالَ عَلِيٌّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ: كَمَا أَنْتُمْ، لَا تَعْجَلُوا، فَأَتَى عُمَرَ، فَقَالَ: " يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ، أَمَا عَلِمْتَ أَنَّ الْقَلَمَ رُفِعَ عَنْ ثَلَاثَةٍ: عَنِ النَّائِمِ حَتَّى يَسْتَيْقِظَ، وَالْمَجْنُونِ حَتَّى يَبْرُؤَ، وَعَنِ الصَّغِيرِ حَتَّى يُدْرِكَ " فَقَالَ عُمَرُ: كَذَلِكَ، فَقَالَ عَلِيٌّ لِعُمَرَ: «فَرُدَّهَا، وَخَلِّ سَبِيلَهَا»
A mad woman committed adultery, so Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) ordered stoning. Hazrat Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "There is no hadd (legal punishment) upon the insane." Thus, she was released.
Brief Explanation
Explanation: This narration provides the fundamental principle of Islamic criminal law:
«لا جَرمَ بلا عقل »— Only that act is considered a crime which is committed with intellect and intention.
In the modern era, this forms the basis for judicial protection of psychological patients or mentally disabled individuals.
✅ Conclusion:
This narration is authentic in its chain of transmission, and is an excellent example of a juristic and legal principle.
In this, the condition of intellect for the implementation of hudud (prescribed punishments), and the clear recourse of Sayyiduna Umar radi Allahu anhu before the insight of Sayyiduna Ali radi Allahu anhu, is very evident.
