1423. ‘Ali narrated that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: “The pen has been lifted from three; for the sleeping person until he awakens, for the boy until he becomes a young man and for the mentally insane until he regains sanity.” (Hasan)
[He said:] There is something on this topic from ‘Aīshah.
[Abū ‘Eisā said:] The Hadīth of ‘Ali is a Hasan Gharīb Hadīth from this route. It has been reported from more than one route from ‘Ali [from the Prophet ﷺ] and some of them mentioned: “from the boy until he has a wet dream” and we do not know that Al-Hasan (Al-Baṣri) heard from ‘Ali.
This Hadīth has similarly been reported from ‘Aṭā bin As-Sā‘ib, from Abū Zībyan, from ‘Ali [bin
Abī Tālib], from the Prophet ﷺ. It has also been reported from Al-A'mash from Abū Zibyān, from Ibn 'Abbās, from 'Alī in Mawqūf not Marfū' form. And this Hadīth is acted upon according to the people of knowledge.
[Abū 'Eisā said: Al-Ḥasan was alive during the time of 'Alī and he saw him but we are not aware of him hearing from him.] Abū Zibyān's name is Ḥuṣain bin Jundab.
