712. hadíth

وَ رُوِيَ عَنْ طَلْحَةَ بْنِ زَيْدٍ عَنِ اَلصَّادِقِ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ آبَائِهِ عَنْ عَلِيٍّ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: "شَهَادَةُ اَلصِّبْيَانِ جَائِزَةٌ بَيْنَهُمْ مَا لَمْ يَتَفَرَّقُوا أَوْ يَرْجِعُوا إِلَى أَهْلِيهِمْ ".

And it was narrated from Talhah ibn Zayd, from Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (a.s), from his father Imam Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Baqir (a.s), from his forefathers, from Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib (a.s), who said: "The testimony of children is valid among them as long as they have not dispersed or returned to their families."
