Man Lā Yaḥḍuruh al-Faqīh|Volume 3|Book 4|Chapter 25
وَ فِي رِوَايَةِ اَلسَّكُونِيِّ عَنْ جَابِرٍ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: "كَانَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ اَلْحُسَيْنِ عَلَيْهِمَا اَلسَّلاَمُ إِذَا حَضَرَ وِلاَدَةُ اَلْمَرْأَةِ قَالَ "أَخْرِجُوا مَنْ فِي اَلْبَيْتِ مِنَ اَلنِّسَاءِ لاَ تَكُونُ اَلْمَرْأَةُ أَوَّلَ نَاظِرٍ إِلَى عَوْرَتِهِ"".
In the narration of Al-Sakuni from Jabir, from Abu Ja'far Imam Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Baqir عليه السلام, he said: "When Imam Ali ibn Al-Hussain عليه السلام was present at the time of a woman's childbirth, he would say: 'Remove all the women from the house so that a woman is not the first to look at the child's private parts.'"
