Once when the Prophet was among his companions, a man passed by him. Someone said: “This is an insane man.” The Prophet (a.s) said: “No. He is perfectly healthy. Men or women who spend their youth obeying someone other than God are insane.”
مر برسول الله (صلى الله عليه وآله) رجل وهو في أصحابه، فقال بعض القوم: مجنون، فقال النبي (صلى الله عليه وآله): بل هذا رجل مصاب، إنما المجنون عبد أو أمة أبليا شبابهما في غير طاعة الله.
