Man Lā Yaḥḍuruh al-Faqīh|Volume 4|Book 1|Chapter 90
وَ رَوَى سَهْلُ بْنُ زِيَادٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ اَلرَّيَّانِ قَالَ: كَتَبْتُ إِلَى أَبِي اَلْحَسَنِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ رَجُلٌ دَعَاهُ وَالِدُهُ إِلَى قَبُولِ وَصِيَّتِهِ هَلْ لَهُ أَنْ يَمْتَنِعَ مِنْ قَبُولِ وَصِيَّةِ وَالِدِهِ فَوَقَّعَ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ "لَيْسَ لَهُ أَنْ يَمْتَنِعَ ".
Sahl ibn Ziyad narrated from Ali ibn Al-Rayyan, who said: I wrote to Abu Al-Hasan عليه السلام asking about a man whose father invited him to accept his will. Is it permissible for him to refuse accepting his father's will? Imam عليه السلام replied: "He does not have the right to refuse."
