alkafi-13312Vol. 7, p. 85

إِذَا هَلَكَ الرَّجُلُ فَتَرَكَ بَنِينَ فَلِلْأَكْبَرِ السَّيْفُ وَ الدِّرْعُ وَ الْخَاتَمُ وَ الْمُصْحَفُ- فَإِنْ حَدَثَ بِهِ حَدَثٌ فَلِلْأَكْبَرِ مِنْهُمْ.

“Abu ‘ Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘When a man dies and leaves behind sons, the eldest son receives the sword, coat of arms, the ring and his (holy) book. If something happens to him then such items belong to the eldest son.’”
