Riyad as-Salihin 1800 (Book 17, Hadith 290) #38289
Maturity and Silence

SUMMARY: No one is considered an orphan after they reach maturity and it is unlawful to remain silent from dawn till night.

'Ali (May Allah be pleased with him) said: I have retained in my memory the saying of the Messenger of Allah that: "No one is considered an orphan after he has attained the age of maturity; and it is unlawful to remain silent from dawn till night". Abu Dawud with Hasan (good) Isnad.
عن عليّ رضي الله عنه قال‏:‏ حفظت عن رسول الله ‏:‏ ‏ "‏لا يتم بعد احتلام، ولا صمات يوم إلى الليل‏"‏‏.‏ قال الخطابي في تفسير هذا الحديث‏:‏ كان من نسك الجاهلية الصمات، فنهوا في الإسلام عن ذلك، وأمروا بالذكر والحديث بالخير‏.‏

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks about two important values that are essential for a person's life. The first value is maturity. According to this hadith, once a person reaches the age of maturity they are no longer considered an orphan. This means that even if their parents have passed away or are not present in their lives anymore, they can still take responsibility for themselves and make decisions on their own behalf. The second value discussed in this hadith is silence. It states that it is unlawful to remain silent from dawn till night which implies that we should use our voices to speak up when necessary and not stay quiet when something needs to be said or done. These two values teach us the importance of taking responsibility for ourselves as well as speaking up when needed in order to make a difference in our lives and the lives of others around us.
