وَ رَوَى اَلْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ عَنِ اِبْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ وَ حُسَيْنٍ اَلرَّوَّاسِيِّ عَنْ إِسْحَاقَ بْنِ عَمَّارٍ قَالَ: قُلْتُ لِأَبِي اَلْحَسَنِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ اَلْمَرْأَةُ تَخَافُ اَلْحَبَلَ فَتَشْرَبُ اَلدَّوَاءَ فَتُلْقِي مَا فِي بَطْنِهَا فَقَالَ "لاَ" فَقُلْتُ إِنَّمَا هُوَ نُطْفَةٌ قَالَ "إِنَّ أَوَّلَ مَا يُخْلَقُ نُطْفَةٌ".
Al-Husayn ibn Said narrated from Ibn Abi Umayr from Muhammad ibn Abi Hamzah and Husayn Al-Rawwasi from Ishaq ibn Ammar, who said: I asked Abu Al-Hasan عليه السلام about a woman who fears pregnancy and drinks medicine to cause a miscarriage. Imam عليه السلام replied: "No." I said: "It is only a drop of fluid (nutfah)." Imam عليه السلام said: "Indeed, the first stage of creation is a drop of fluid (nutfah)."
