The Ruling on the Hadith: “Indeed, Allah is pleased with a young man who has no youthful indiscretion”

Question:
What is the authenticity of the hadith that says: ? I also ask you to clarify the approximate age at which the period of youth begins and ends.

Answer:
This hadith is well-known, and I do not know the status of its chain of narration right now. “Indeed, Allah is pleased with a young man who has no youthful indiscretion” means that he does not do what boys do, or what young people do in falling into sins and evil deeds in the early stages of their lives. From the time he grew up, he has been in the worship of Allah and obedience to Allah, with no youthful indiscretion, and no periods where he deviated from guidance due to his youth. Therefore, he is the one who is the object of Allah’s wonder.
But I do not know the status of the hadith right now; is its chain of narration good or not? It is well-known and recognized; but I do not know the status of its chain right now. Perhaps I will look into it, if Allah wills, and clarify it in the coming Friday, if Allah wills.

Question : When does the period of youth begin and when does it end?

Answer: It appears that what is intended by this is the beginning of youth, i.e., puberty, and then after that, reaching maturity. That is, the first years of his life during puberty, and after that.
