Quran 4:6 instructs guardians to examine orphans and hand over their property after maturity and evident sound judgment. Rushd here concerns competent financial administration, not merely physical adulthood.
The two disciples treat the condition of demonstrated rushd as continuing for as long as improvidence persists. Abu Hanifah combines the text with his reasoning about the legal standing of an adult and a final age threshold. The disagreement concerns interpretation and application, not rejection of the Quranic directive.
