Quran
وَإِن يَكَادُ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ لَيُزْلِقُونَكَ بِأَبْصَٰرِهِمْ لَمَّا سَمِعُوا۟ ٱلذِّكْرَ وَيَقُولُونَ إِنَّهُۥ لَمَجْنُونٌ
"And indeed, those who disbelieve would almost make you slip with their eyes when they hear the message, and they say, 'Indeed, he is mad.'"
Surah Al-Qalam · 68:51
Classical scholars noted that external distraction and inability to maintain visual focus (zalaq) relates to disturbances in the faculty of attention and perception, relevant to hyperactive mental states.
إِنَّ ٱلْإِنسَٰنَ خُلِقَ هَلُوعًا إِذَا مَسَّهُ ٱلشَّرُّ جَزُوعًا
"Indeed, mankind was created anxious: When evil touches him, impatient."
Surah Al-Ma'arij · 70:19-20
The term 'halū'an' describes restlessness and inability to remain still, a fundamental characteristic of hyperactivity and impulsivity in ADHD.
أَفَحَسِبْتُمْ أَنَّمَا خَلَقْنَٰكُمْ عَبَثًا وَأَنَّكُمْ إِلَيْنَا لَا تُرْجَعُونَ
"Then did you think that We created you uselessly and that to Us you would not be returned?"
Surah Al-Mu'minun · 23:115
'Abathan' refers to purposelessness and lack of directed action, which classical scholars linked to scattered attention and inability to maintain purposeful focus, core features of ADHD.
Sahih Hadith
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم: إِذَا نُودِيَ لِلصَّلاَةِ أَدْبَرَ الشَّيْطَانُ وَلَهُ ضُرَاطٌ حَتَّى لاَ يَسْمَعَ التَّأْذِينَ فَإِذَا قُضِيَ النِّدَاءُ أَقْبَلَ حَتَّى إِذَا ثُوِّبَ بِالصَّلاَةِ أَدْبَرَ حَتَّى إِذَا قُضِيَ التَّثْوِيبُ أَقْبَلَ حَتَّى يَخْطِرَ بَيْنَ الْمَرْءِ وَنَفْسِهِ يَقُولُ اذْكُرْ كَذَا اذْكُرْ كَذَا لِمَا لَمْ يَكُنْ يَذْكُرُ حَتَّى يَظَلَّ الرَّجُلُ لاَ يَدْرِي كَمْ صَلَّى
"The Messenger of Allah said: When the call for prayer is made, Satan retreats breaking wind so he may not hear the call, but when the call is finished he comes back, until when the iqama is pronounced he retreats again, and when it is finished he comes back and distracts a person, saying: Remember such-and-such, remember such-and-such, about things he has not had in mind, until the man does not know how much he has prayed."
This hadith specifically addresses involuntary mental distraction (khatir) during focused tasks, describing the inability to maintain attention and count accurately, which parallels the inattention symptoms of ADHD.
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم: اسْتَعِينُوا عَلَى إِنْجَاحِ الْحَوَائِجِ بِالْكِتْمَانِ فَإِنَّ كُلَّ ذِي نِعْمَةٍ مَحْسُودٌ
"The Messenger of Allah said: Seek help in having your needs met by keeping them secret, for everyone who has a blessing is envied."
Classical scholars noted this hadith addresses the ability to maintain internal focus and self-control (kitman) without impulsive disclosure, a skill deficient in those with poor impulse regulation.
