3- مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى قَالَ كَتَبَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ إِلَى أَبِي مُحَمَّدٍ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) هَلْ تُقْبَلُ شَهَادَةُ الْوَصِيِّ لِلْمَيِّتِ بِدَيْنٍ لَهُ عَلَى رَجُلٍ مَعَ شَاهِدٍ آخَرَ عَدْلٍ فَوَقَّعَ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) إِذَا شَهِدَ مَعَهُ آخَرُ عَدْلٌ فَعَلَى الْمُدَّعِي يَمِينٌ وَكَتَبَ أَيَجُوزُ لِلْوَصِيِّ أَنْ يَشْهَدَ لِوَارِثِ الْمَيِّتِ صَغِيرٍ أَوْ كَبِيرٍ بِحَقٍّ لَهُ عَلَى الْمَيِّتِ أَوْ عَلَى غَيْرِهِ وَهُوَ الْقَابِضُ لِلْوَارِثِ الصَّغِيرِ وَلَيْسَ لِلْكَبِيرِ بِقَابِضٍ فَوَقَّعَ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) نَعَمْ يَنْبَغِي لِلْوَصِيِّ أَنْ يَشْهَدَ بِالْحَقِّ وَلا يَكْتُمَ الشَّهَادَةَ وَكَتَبَ أَوَتُقْبَلُ شَهَادَةُ الْوَصِيِّ عَلَى الْمَيِّتِ مَعَ شَاهِدٍ آخَرَ عَدْلٍ فَوَقَّعَ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) نَعَمْ مِنْ بَعْدِ يَمِينٍ.

, signed the answer that said: ‘If one more just man testifies with him then the plaintiff must take an oath.’ He also wrote asking if it is permissible for an executor of the will to testify for an heir of the deceased, small or an adult in a right for him on the deceased or on others and he is the one who takes possession for the heir who is a minor and not an adult. He (the Imam), signed the answer that said, ‘Yes, it is proper for an executor of the will to testify for a right and he must not hide a testimony.’ He wrote asking that if the testimony of an executor of the will along with the testimony of another just man is admissible against the deceased. He (the Imam)
