Man Lā Yaḥḍuruh al-Faqīh|Volume 4|Book 1|Chapter 93
وَ فِي رِوَايَةِ يُونُسَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اَلرَّحْمَنِ بِإِسْنَادِهِ قَالَ قَالَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ اَلْحُسَيْنِ عَلَيْهِمَا اَلسَّلاَمُ: "لِلرَّجُلِ أَنْ يُغَيِّرَ مِنْ وَصِيَّتِهِ فَيُعْتِقَ مَنْ كَانَ أَمَرَ بِتَمْلِيكِهِ وَ يُمَلِّكَ مَنْ كَانَ أَمَرَ بِعِتْقِهِ وَ يُعْطِيَ مَنْ كَانَ حَرَمَهُ وَ يَحْرِمَ مَنْ كَانَ أَعْطَاهُ مَا لَمْ يَكُنْ رَجَعَ عَنْهُ".
In the narration of Yunus ibn Abd Al-Rahman with his chain of transmission, Imam Ali ibn Al-Hussain عليه السلام said: "A man has the right to alter his will. He may free the one he had initially ordered to be owned, and he may grant ownership to the one he had initially ordered to be freed. He may give to the one he had previously deprived and deprive the one he had previously granted, as long as he has not retracted from his decision."
