وَ رَوَى عَلِيُّ بْنُ اَلْحَكَمِ عَنْ زِيَادِ بْنِ أَبِي اَلْحَلاَّلِ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَنْ رَسُولِ اَللَّهِ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ هَلْ أَوْصَى إِلَى اَلْحَسَنِ وَ اَلْحُسَيْنِ عَلَيْهِمَا اَلسَّلاَمُ مَعَ أَمِيرِ اَلْمُؤْمِنِينَ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ "نَعَمْ" قُلْتُ وَ هُمَا فِي ذَلِكَ اَلسِّنِّ قَالَ "نَعَمْ وَ لاَ يَكُونُ لِسِوَاهُمَا فِي أَقَلَّ مِنْ خَمْسِ سِنِينَ".
Ali ibn Al-Hakam narrated from Ziyad ibn Abi Al-Hallal, who said: I asked Abu Abdullah عليه السلام, whether the Messenger of Allah سبحانه وتعالى, peace and blessings be upon him and his family, had appointed Al-Hasan عليه السلام and Al-Hussain عليه السلام, peace be upon them both, along with the Commander of the Faithful عليه السلام, peace be upon him, in his will. Imam عليه السلام replied: "Yes." I asked: "Even though they were at that young age?" Imam عليه السلام said: "Yes, and this would not be for anyone else under the age of five."
