Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 22336 — Testimony of children

Waki' (may Allah have mercy on him) said: Some children of the neighbourhood who had not reached puberty testified before Ibn Abi Layla (may Allah have mercy on him). He said: Write down the testimony of so-and-so and so-and-so, and that they are young and have not reached puberty. When they reach puberty, see: if they stand firm on it, the testimony is valid, and if they retract, that testimony is void.
