وَ أَمَّا مَا رَوَاهُ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ يَحْيَى عَنْ طَلْحَةَ بْنِ زَيْدٍ عَنْ جَعْفَرٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ عَلِيٍّ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ:« لاَ بَأْسَ أَنْ يُؤَذِّنَ اَلْغُلاَمُ اَلَّذِي لَمْ يَحْتَلِمْ وَ أَنْ يَؤُمَّ»
As for what was narrated by Muhammad ibn Ahmad ibn Yahya from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from Muhammad ibn Yahya from Talhah ibn Zayd from Imam Ja’far عليه السلام from his father, Imam al-Baqir عليه السلام, peace be upon them both, from Imam Ali عليه السلام, peace be upon him:
Imam Ali عليه السلام said: “There is no problem if the boy who has not reached puberty gives the call to prayer (adhan) and leads (the prayer).”
