Al-Kāfi - The Book of Inheritance Chapter: Inheritance of the Child of Parents who Condemn Each other (al -Mula‘anah (condemnation)) ِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ عَنِ ابْنِ ٠َحْبُوبٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ رِئَابٍ عَنِ الْحَلَبِيِّ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللهِ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلا٠) عَنْ رَجُلٍ لاعَنَ ا٠ْرَأَتَهُ وَهِيَ حُبْلَى فَلَ٠َّا وَضَعَتْ ادَّعَى وَلَدَهَا وَأَقَرَّ بِهِ وَزَعَ٠ِنْهُ قَالَ يُرَدُّ إِلَيْهِ وَلَدُهُ وَلا يَرِثُهُ وَلا يُجْلَدُ لأنَّ اللِّعَانَ قَدْ ٠7.

A number of our people have narrated from Sahl ibn Ziyad from ibn Mahbub from Ali ibn Ri’ab from al-Halabiy who has narrated the following: “I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), about the case of a man who forms Mula ‘anah against his wife when she is pregnant. When the child is born, he claims her child with confession and thinks that the child is his child.

He (the Imam) said, ‘The child is returned to him but cannot inherit his legacy and he is not whipped because Mula ‘anah has already taken place.’” شهور - Allamah Baqir al-Majlisi (Mirʾāt al-ʿUqūl fī Sharḥ Akhbār Āl al-Rasūl (3/242))
