Chapter on Bearing Witness to the Bequest

وَ رَوَى حَمَّادُ بْنُ عِيسَى عَنْ رِبْعِيِّ بْنِ عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: فِي شَهَادَةِ اِمْرَأَةٍ حَضَرَتْ رَجُلاً يُوصِي لَيْسَ مَعَهَا رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ "تُجَازُ فِي رُبُعِ اَلْوَصِيَّةِ".
Hammad ibn ʿIsa narrated from Ribʿi ibn Abdullah from Abu Abdullah Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq عليه السلام regarding the testimony of a woman who was present when a man was making a will, and there was no man with her. Imam عليه السلام said: "Her testimony is accepted for one-fourth of the will."
