Hadith #16

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 from his father, Imam al-Baqir , peace be upon them both, from Imam Ali , peace be upon him: Imam Ali said: “There is no problem if the boy who has not reached puberty gives the call to prayer (adhan) and leads (the prayer).”
