حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَی بْنُ إِسْمَعِيلَ حَدَّثَنَا وُهَيْبٌ عَنْ خَالِدٍ عَنْ أَبِي الضُّحَی عَنْ عَلِيٍّ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَام عَنْ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ رُفِعَ الْقَلَمُ عَنْ ثَلَاثَةٍ عَنْ النَّائِمِ حَتَّی يَسْتَيْقِظَ وَعَنْ الصَّبِيِّ حَتَّی يَحْتَلِمَ وَعَنْ الْمَجْنُونِ حَتَّی يَعْقِلَ قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُد رَوَاهُ ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ عَنْ الْقَاسِمِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ عَنْ عَلِيٍّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ عَنْ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ زَادَ فِيهِ وَالْخَرِفِ
سنن ابودوٗد · Hadith 4403
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. "
