(2) Muhammad bin Hammam narrated from Ahmad bin Mabindath from Ahmad bin Hilal from Abu Malik al-Hadhrami from Abu as-Safatij that Abu Baseer had said: “I said to one of them-Abu Abdullah as-Sadiq or Abu Ja’far al-Baqir : “Can this matter (imamate) be entrusted to one, who is not adult yet?” He said: “It will be so.” I said: “How does he (the young imam) act?” He said: “Allah grants him with knowledge and wisdom and does not make him follow his fancies.”
