Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn ’Isma‘il from Muhammad ibn al-Fudayl from abu al-Sabbah al- Kinaniy who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘If a man divorces his pregnant wife he must pay for her maintenance until childbirth. When she gives birth, he must pay her wages without causing any harm to her, unless he finds someone who breastfeeds for less.

If she also agrees for less then she has the priority to have her son until weaning.’” جهول - Allamah Baqir al-Majlisi (Mirʾāt al-ʿUqūl fī Sharḥ Akhbār Āl al-Rasūl (1/174))
