سَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ يَتِيمٍ قَدْ قَرَأَ الْقُرْآنَ وَ لَيْسَ بِعَقْلِهِ بَأْسٌ وَ لَهُ مَالٌ عَلَى يَدَيْ رَجُلٍ فَأَرَادَ الرَّجُلُ الَّذِي عِنْدَهُ الْمَالُ أَنْ يَعْمَلَ بِمَالِ الْيَتِيمِ مُضَارَبَةً فَأَذِنَ لَهُ الْغُلَامُ فِي ذَلِكَ فَقَالَ لَا يَصْلُحُ أَنْ يَعْمَلَ بِهِ حَتَّى يَحْتَلِمَ وَ يَدْفَعَ إِلَيْهِ مَالَهُ قَالَ وَ إِنِ احْتَلَمَ وَ لَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ عَقْلٌ لَمْ يُدْفَعْ إِلَيْهِ شَيْءٌ أَبَداً . حُمَيْدٌ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ سَمَاعَةَ عَنْ دَاوُدَ بْنِ سِرْحَانَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ .
Translation
Humeyd Bin Ziyad, from Al Hassan Bin Muhammad Bin Sama’at, from one of his companions, from Masny Bin Rashid, from Abu Baseer, (The narrator says): ‘I asked Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> about an orphan who has read the Quran, and there is nothing wrong with his intellect. And for him is wealth in the hands of a man. So the man wanted to do some business with the wealth of the orphan which was with him on a profit-sharing basis. So the boy permitted him with regards to that’. So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘It is not correct that he works with it until he (the orphan) bed-wets and hands over his wealth to him. And if he were to bed-wet and there does not happen to be intellect for him, nothing would be handed over to him (the businessman), ever’. Humeyd, from Al Hassan, from Ja’far Bin Sama’at, from Dawood Bin Sirhan, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup>, similar to that’.
