Hadith.5566 - Ali ibn Al-Hakam narrated from Ziyad ibn Abi Al-Hallal, who said
I asked Abu Abdullah (as), whether the Messenger of Allah (swt), peace and blessings be upon him and his family, had appointed Al-Hasan (as) and Al-Hussain (as), peace be upon them both, along with the Commander of the Faithful (as), peace be upon him, in his will.
Imam (as) replied: "Yes."
I asked: "Even though they were at that young age?"
Imam (as) said: "Yes, and this would not be for anyone else under the age of five."
