It is narrated from Ibne Abbas that a mentally incompetent woman, accused of adultery was brought to Umar. Umar discussed this with some people and declared that she must be stoned to death.
Ali passed from there and inquired what was going on about that female. They replied: “She is mentally deranged from some tribe and is accused of having committed adultery and Umar has ordered her to be stoned to death.”
Ali (a.s.) said: “Release her.” Then he came to Umar said: “Chief of believers, do you not remember that Messenger of Allah (s.a.w.a.) said:
Three people are absolved of religious responsibility: the insane, till he regains sanity; the child, till he reaches maturity and the sleeping one, till he wakes up?”
At that time, Umar released the woman and began to recite Takbeer
(Sunan Abi Dawood, 2:227 [4/140, H. 4399 & 4401]; Sonan Ibne Majah, 2:227 [1/659, H. 2042]; Al-Mustadrak alas Saheehain, 2:59, 4:389 [2/68, H. 2351 & 4/430, H. 8169])
