Sunan Abi Dawud 4398 (Book 40, Hadith 48) #24689
Actions Not Recorded

SUMMARY: Actions of a sleeping person, an idiot and a child until they reach puberty are not recorded.

Narrated Aisha, Ummul Mu'minin: The Messenger of Allah said: There are three (persons) whose actions are not recorded: a sleeper till he awakes, an idiot till he is restored to reason, and a boy till he reaches puberty.
حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ، أَخْبَرَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ حَمَّادٍ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنِ الأَسْوَدِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، رضى الله عنها أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ ‏ "‏ رُفِعَ الْقَلَمُ عَنْ ثَلاَثَةٍ عَنِ النَّائِمِ حَتَّى يَسْتَيْقِظَ وَعَنِ الْمُبْتَلَى حَتَّى يَبْرَأَ وَعَنِ الصَّبِيِّ حَتَّى يَكْبَرَ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith explains that the actions of three types of people are not recorded. The first type is a sleeping person until he wakes up. The second type is an idiot until he regains his reason and the third type is a child until he reaches puberty. This means that whatever these three types of people do while in their respective states will not be held against them or taken into account when judging them for their deeds on the Day of Judgment. It teaches us to be patient with those who are in such states and to treat them kindly as Allah will not hold them accountable for their actions during this time period.
