A number of our companions, from Sahl Bin Ziyad, from Ibn Mahboub, from Ibn Ra’ib, from Zurara who said, ‘I asked Abu Ja’far -asws about the weak one (of understanding). So he -asws said: ‘He is one who has no capacity of reason to repel the Kufr (disbelief) by it, nor is he guided by it to the way of Emān . He has not capacity that he believes nor that he disbelieves’. He -asws said: ‘And the children, and the ones from the men and the women who was upon a similar intellect of the children’.
Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Isa, from Ali Bin Al Hakam, from Abdullah Bin Jundab, from Sufyan Bin Al Simt Al Bajaly who said, ‘I said to Abu Abdullah -asws , ‘What are you -asws saying regarding the weak ones (of understanding)?’ So he -asws said resembling the panic: ‘So have you all left anyone who can be weak? And where are the weak ones? By Allah -azwj !
The adolescent girls have walked with this matter of yours to the adolescent girls in their veils, and the water-carriers of Al-Medina are discussing with it in the streets’.
From him, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Al Husayn Bin Saeed, from Fazalat Bin Ayoub, from Umar Bin Aban who said, ‘I asked Abu Abdullah -asws about the weak ones (of understanding). So he -asws said: ‘They are the people of Al-Wilayah’.
