رَوَى اِبْنُ بُكَيْرٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ اَلْوَصِيَّةِ لِلْوَارِثِ فَقَالَ "تَجُوزُ " ثُمَّ تَلاَ هَذِهِ اَلْآيَةَ إِنْ تَرَكَ خَيْراً اَلْوَصِيَّةُ لِلْوٰالِدَيْنِ وَ اَلْأَقْرَبِينَ.
Ibn Bukayr narrated from Muhammad ibn Muslim from Abu Jafar Imam Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Baqir عليه السلام, who said: I asked Imam عليه السلام about making a will in favor of an heir. Imam عليه السلام replied: "It is permissible." Then Imam عليه السلام recited the verse: "If he leaves wealth, the will is for the parents and the close relatives." (Surah Al-Baqarah 2:180)

قَالَ مُصَنِّفُ هَذَا اَلْكِتَابِ رَحِمَهُ اَللَّهُ اَلْخَبَرُ اَلَّذِي رُوِيَ: "أَنَّهُ لاَ وَصِيَّةَ لِوَارِثٍ".
The author of this book (may Allah سبحانه وتعالى have mercy on him) said that another narration states "There is no will for an heir".

وَ رُوِيَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ اَلْحَجَّالِ عَنْ ثَعْلَبَةَ بْنِ مَيْمُونٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ قَيْسٍ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ أَبَا جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَنِ اَلرَّجُلِ يُفَضِّلُ بَعْضَ وُلْدِهِ عَلَى بَعْضٍ قَالَ "نَعَمْ وَ نِسَاءَهُ".
It is narrated from Abdullah ibn Muhammad Al-Hajjal from Thaʿlabah ibn Maymun from Muhammad ibn Qays, who said: I asked Abu Jafar Imam Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Baqir عليه السلام about a man who gives preference to some of his children over others. Imam عليه السلام replied: "Yes, and he may also favor some of his wives (over other wives)."
