Chapter on the Inheritance of the Son of Li'an (Mutual Cursing)
وَ رَوَى اَلْحَسَنُ بْنُ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ رِئَابٍ عَنِ اَلْحَلَبِيِّ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَنْ رَجُلٍ لاَعَنَ اِمْرَأَتَهُ وَ هِيَ حُبْلَى قَدِ اِسْتَبَانَ حَمْلُهَا وَ أَنْكَرَ مَا فِي بَطْنِهَا فَلَمَّا وَضَعَتِ اِدَّعَاهُ وَ أَقَرَّ بِهِ وَ زَعَمَ أَنَّهُ مِنْهُ فَقَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ "يُرَدُّ إِلَيْهِ وَلَدُهُ وَ يَرِثُهُ وَ لاَ يُجْلَدُ لِأَنَّ اَللِّعَانَ قَدْ مَضَى".
Al-Hasan ibn Mahbub narrated from Ali ibn Ri'ab from Al-Halabi who said: I asked Abu Abdullah عليه السلام about a man who had invoked li'an against his wife while she was pregnant, and her pregnancy was visibly apparent. He denied what was in her womb. However, after she gave birth, he claimed the child and acknowledged it, asserting that it was his. Abu Abdullah عليه السلام said: "The child is returned to him, and he inherits from him, and the man is not subjected to flogging because the li'an has already taken place."
