Chapter on What Has Been Reported Regarding a Thief Who Overpowers a Woman for Her Private Part and Kills Her Child
وَ رَوَى مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ اَلْفُضَيْلِ عَنِ اَلرِّضَا عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ لِصٍّ دَخَلَ عَلَى اِمْرَأَةٍ وَ هِيَ حُبْلَى فَقَتَلَ مَا فِي بَطْنِهَا فَعَمَدَتِ اَلْمَرْأَةُ إِلَى سِكِّينٍ فَوَجَأَتْهُ بِهِ فَقَتَلَتْهُ قَالَ "هَدَرَ دَمُ اَللِّصِّ".
Muhammad ibn Al-Fudayl narrated from Imam Ali ibn Musa Ar-Ridha عليه السلام, who said: I asked Imam عليه السلام about a thief who entered upon a pregnant woman and killed the child in her womb. The woman then took a knife and stabbed him, killing him. Imam عليه السلام said: "The blood of the thief is void (without consequence)."
