حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ قَالَ:
شَهِدَ عِنْدَ ابْنِ أَبِي لَيْلَى صِبْيَانٌ مِنَ الْحَيِّ لَمْ يَبْلُغُوا، فَقَالَ: اكْتُبْ: شَهِدَ فُلَانٌ وَفُلَانٌ، وَهُمْ صِغَارٌ لَمْ [١]يَبْلُغُوا، فَإِذَا بَلَغُوا فَإِنْ ثَبَتُوا عَلَى شَهَادَتِهِمْ جَازَتْ، وَإِنْ رَجَعُوا فَلَيْسَ بِشَيْءٍ

Machine translation, not reviewed
Children from the neighbourhood who had not reached puberty testified before Ibn Abi Layla, and he said: Write: So-and-so and so-and-so testified, and they are young and have not reached puberty. When they reach puberty, if they hold to their testimony it is accepted, and if they retract it, it is nothing.
