۞
A man passed by the Prophet (SAWA) while he was sitting with his companions. One of them mentioned that he had gone mad. The Prophet (SAWA) replied, ‘This man is, in fact, afflicted, since truly one who is mad, be he male or female, is one who has squandered his youth in other than Allahs obedience.
مَرَّ برسولِ اللّهِ (صَلَّيَ اللهُ عَلَيهِ وَ آلِهِ) رجُلٌ وهو في أصْحابِهِ ، فقالَ بعضُ القَومِ: مَجْنونٌ! فقالَ النّبيُّ (صَلَّيَ اللهُ عَلَيهِ وَ آلِهِ) : بَلْ هذا رجُلٌ مُصابٌ، إنّما المَجْنونُ عَبدٌ أو أمَةٌ أبْلَيا شَبابَهُما في غَيرِ طاعةِ اللّهِ .
