Musnad Ahmad 1361 (Book 5, Hadith 761) #34987
The Pen is Lifted from Three

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) taught that the Pen is lifted from three people: those who are asleep, minors, and the insane.

It was narrated from Abu Zayban that 'Ali (رضي الله عنه) said to 'Umar: O Ameer al-Mu'mineen, did you not hear the Messenger of Allah say: 'The Pen has been lifted from three :from the sleeper until he wakes up, from the minor until he grows up and from the insane until he comes to his senses'?
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو سَعِيدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ السَّائِبِ، عَنْ أَبِي ظَبْيَانَ، أَنَّ عَلِيًّا، رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ لِعُمَرَ يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ أَمَا سَمِعْتَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ يَقُولُ رُفِعَ الْقَلَمُ عَنْ ثَلَاثَةٍ عَنْ النَّائِمِ حَتَّى يَسْتَيْقِظَ وَعَنْ الصَّغِيرِ حَتَّى يَكْبَرَ وَعَنْ الْمُبْتَلَى حَتَّى يَعْقِلَ‏.‏

QUICK LESSONS:
Treat others with kindness and compassion regardless of their age or mental state.

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith teaches us that there are certain people who should not be held accountable for their actions. These include those who are asleep, minors, and the insane. This means that if someone does something wrong while they are sleeping or if a minor or an insane person does something wrong then they will not be held responsible for it. This hadith also teaches us to have mercy on those who cannot help themselves and to understand that everyone has different levels of understanding and responsibility. We should always strive to treat others with kindness and compassion regardless of their age or mental state.
