Hadith.5451 - Ṣafwan ibn Yahya narrated from Musa ibn Bakr from Zurarah from Abu Jafar Imam Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Baqir (as), who said
"When a boy reaches the age of ten, whatever he does with his wealth - whether he frees a slave, gives charity, or makes a will within reasonable limits and rightful matters - is valid."

"إِذَا أَتَى عَلَى اَلْغُلاَمِ عَشْرُ سِنِينَ فَإِنَّهُ يَجُوزُ لَهُ فِي مَالِهِ مَا أَعْتَقَ أَوْ تَصَدَّقَ وَ أَوْصَى عَلَى حَدٍّ مَعْرُوفٍ وَ حَقٍّ فَهُوَ جَائِزٌ".

Hadith.5452 - Muhammad ibn Abi Umayr narrated from Abi Al-Maghra from Abu Baṣir from Abu Abdullah Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as), who said
"If a boy reaches the age of ten and makes a will for one-third of his wealth in a rightful cause, his will is valid. And if he is seven years old and makes a will for a small amount of his wealth in a rightful cause, his will is also valid."
5452 - وَ رَوَى مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ أَبِي اَلْمَغْرَاءِ عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ
أَنَّهُ قَالَ : "إِذَا بَلَغَ اَلْغُلاَمُ عَشْرَ سِنِينَ فَأَوْصَى بِثُلُثِ مَالِهِ فِي حَقٍّ جَازَتْ وَصِيَّتُهُ وَ إِذَا كَانَ اِبْنَ سَبْعِ سِنِينَ فَأَوْصَى مِنْ مَالِهِ بِالْيَسِيرِ فِي حَقٍّ جَازَتْ وَصِيَّتُهُ".

I heard Abu Abdullah (as) 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."
5453 - 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".
