Ali ibn Abi Talib رضي الله عنه reported: The Messenger of Allah, صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّم , said, “The pen is lifted from three people:
A sleeping person until he awakens,

An insane person until he regains his sanity.”
In another narration, the Prophet said, “A young boy until he reaches puberty.”
