سَأَلْتُ أَبَا جَعْفَرٍ ( عليه السلام ) قُلْتُ لَهُ مَتَى يَجِبُ عَلَى الْغُلَامِ أَنْ يُؤْخَذَ بِالْحُدُودِ التَّامَّةِ وَ تُقَامَ عَلَيْهِ وَ يُؤْخَذَ بِهَا فَقَالَ إِذَا خَرَجَ عَنْهُ الْيُتْمُ وَ أَدْرَكَ قُلْتُ فَلِذَلِكَ حَدٌّ يُعْرَفُ بِهِ فَقَالَ إِذَا احْتَلَمَ أَوْ بَلَغَ خَمْسَةَ عَشَرَ سَنَةً أَوْ أَشْعَرَ أَوْ أَنْبَتَ قَبْلَ ذَلِكَ أُقِيمَتْ عَلَيْهِ الْحُدُودُ التَّامَّةُ وَ أُخِذَ بِهَا وَ أُخِذَتْ لَهُ قُلْتُ فَالْجَارِيَةُ مَتَى تَجِبُ عَلَيْهَا الْحُدُودُ التَّامَّةُ وَ تُؤْخَذُ لَهَا وَ يُؤْخَذُ بِهَا قَالَ إِنَّ الْجَارِيَةَ لَيْسَتْ مِثْلَ الْغُلَامِ إِنَّ الْجَارِيَةَ إِذَا تَزَوَّجَتْ وَ دُخِلَ بِهَا وَ لَهَا تِسْعُ سِنِينَ ذَهَبَ عَنْهَا الْيُتْمُ وَ دُفِعَ إِلَيْهَا مَالُهَا وَ جَازَ أَمْرُهَا فِي الشِّرَاءِ وَ الْبَيْعِ وَ أُقِيمَتْ عَلَيْهَا الْحُدُودُ التَّامَّةُ وَ أُخِذَ لَهَا بِهَا قَالَ وَ الْغُلَامُ لَا يَجُوزُ أَمْرُهُ فِي الشِّرَاءِ وَ الْبَيْعِ وَ لَا يَخْرُجُ مِنَ الْيُتْمِ حَتَّى يَبْلُغَ خَمْسَةَ عَشَرَ سَنَةً أَوْ يَحْتَلِمَ أَوْ يُشْعِرَ أَوْ يُنْبِتَ قَبْلَ ذَلِكَ .
Translation
Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Ibn Mahboub, from Abdul Aziz Al Abady, from Hamza Bin Humran, from Humran who said, ‘I asked Abu Ja’far<sup>asws</sup> saying to him<sup>asws</sup>, ‘When is it Obligatory upon the boy that he should be seized with the complete Penalties, and for it to be established upon him and for him to be seized by it?’ So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘When the orphan-hood exits from him, and he attains realisation’. I said, ‘So for that is a Penalty (<span class="iTxt">Hadd</span>) to be recognised by?’ So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘When he bed-wets, or reaches fifteen years of age, or becomes aware, or grows (pubic hair) before that, the complete Penalties would be established upon him, and he would be seized by it, and it would be taken for him’. I said, ‘So, for the girl, when would the complete Penalties be Obligated upon her, and these would be taken for her, and she would be seized by it?’ He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘The girl is not like the boy. The girl, when she gets married and copulated with, and for her are nine years, the orphan-hood goes away from her, and her wealth is handed over to her, and her instructions are allowed with regards to the buying and the selling, and the complete Penalties would be established upon her, and she would be seized by it. And the boy, his instructions are not allowed with regards to the buying and the selling, and he does not come out from the orphan-hood until he reaches fifteen years of age, or bed-wets, or becomes aware, or grows (pubic hair) before that’.
