438 – Ishaq ibn Ibrahim narrated to us; Abu al-Mughira al-Nadr ibn Ismaʿil narrated to us. He said: I heard Ibn Abi Layla say, “A boy’s front teeth fall out at seven, he experiences his first nocturnal emission at fourteen, his height stops increasing at twenty-one, and his intellect is perfected at twenty-eight; thereafter he gains no further intelligence except through experience.”
٤٣٨ - حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْمُغِيرَةِ النَّضْرُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ ابْنَ أَبِي لَيْلَى، يَقُولُ: يَثْغُرُ الْغُلَامُ فِي سَبْعٍ وَيَحْتَلِمُ فِي أَرْبَعَ عَشْرَةَ وَيَنْتَهِي طُولُهُ فِي إِحْدَى وَعِشْرِينَ وَيَسْتَكْمِلُ الْعَقْلَ فِي ثَمَانٍ وَعِشْرِينَ فَلَا يَزْدَادُ عَقْلًا إِلَّا بِالتَّجَارِبِ
