2. Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn ‘Isa has narrated from [Muhammad ibn ‘Isa] from Mansur from Hisham who has narrated the following
“Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘The orphan-hood of an orphan is over when he experiences wet-dream, and that is the time when he reaches manhood but if he experiences wet- dream and does not have proper understanding because of dimwittedness or weakness, then his guardian must keep his assets for him.’”
2- أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى [عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى] عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ عَنْ هِشَامٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللهِ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) قَالَ
انْقِطَاعُ يُتْمِ الْيَتِيمِ بِالاحْتِلامِ وَهُوَ أَشُدُّهُ وَإِنِ احْتَلَمَ وَلَمْ يُؤْنَسْ مِنْهُ رُشْدٌ وَكَانَ سَفِيهاً أَوْ ضَعِيفاً فَلْيُمْسِكْ عَنْهُ وَلِيُّهُ مَالَهُ.
