Chapter on the Age at Which a Child's Bequest Becomes Valid
وَ رَوَى عَلِيُّ بْنُ اَلْحَكَمِ عَنْ دَاوُدَ بْنِ اَلنُّعْمَانِ عَنْ أَبِي أَيُّوبَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ يَقُولُ: "إِنَّ اَلْغُلاَمَ إِذَا حَضَرَهُ اَلْمَوْتُ فَأَوْصَى وَ لَمْ يُدْرِكْ جَازَتْ وَصِيَّتُهُ لِذَوِي اَلْأَرْحَامِ وَ لَمْ تَجُزْ لِلْغُرَبَاءِ".
Ali ibn Al-Hakam narrated from Dawud ibn Al-Nuʿman from Abu Ayyub from Muhammad ibn Muslim, who said: I heard Abu Abdullah عليه السلام say: "If a boy is on his deathbed and makes a will before reaching maturity, his will is valid if it is for his close relatives, but it is not valid for strangers."
