Musnad Ahmad 956 (Book 5, Hadith 381) #34607
The Pen is Lifted from Three

SUMMARY: The Prophet ﷺ taught that the Pen is lifted from three people: those who are sleeping, insane, and minors.

It was narrated from al-Hasan al-Basri, from 'Ali (رضي الله عنه) that The Prophet said: 'The Pen has been lifted from three; from the sleeper until he wakes up, from the crazy - or insane- one until he comes back to his senses, and from the minor until he grows up".
حَدَّثَنَا بَهْزٌ، وَحَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ، قَالَا حَدَّثَنَا هَمَّامٌ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ الْبَصْرِيِّ، عَنْ عَلِيٍّ، رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ قَالَ رُفِعَ الْقَلَمُ عَنْ ثَلَاثَةٍ عَنْ النَّائِمِ حَتَّى يَسْتَيْقِظَ وَعَنْ الْمَعْتُوهِ أَوْ قَالَ الْمَجْنُونِ حَتَّى يَعْقِلَ وَعَنْ الصَّغِيرِ حَتَّى يَشِبَّ‏.‏

QUICK LESSONS:
Show mercy and compassion towards those with limited control over themselves due to certain circumstances.

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith teaches us that there are certain situations in which the Pen will be lifted from a person. These include when someone is sleeping, insane, or a minor. When someone is asleep they cannot be held accountable for their actions because they are not conscious of what they are doing. Similarly, when someone is insane or a minor they also cannot be held accountable for their actions as these individuals do not have full control over their decisions and behavior. This hadith reminds us to show mercy and compassion towards those who may not have full control over themselves due to certain circumstances.
