Man Lā Yaḥḍuruh al-Faqīh|Volume 4|Book 1|Chapter 89
وَ رُوِيَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ اَلْحَجَّالِ عَنْ ثَعْلَبَةَ بْنِ مَيْمُونٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ قَيْسٍ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ أَبَا جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَنِ اَلرَّجُلِ يُفَضِّلُ بَعْضَ وُلْدِهِ عَلَى بَعْضٍ قَالَ "نَعَمْ وَ نِسَاءَهُ".
It is narrated from Abdullah ibn Muhammad Al-Hajjal from Thaʿlabah ibn Maymun from Muhammad ibn Qays, who said: I asked Abu Jafar Imam Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Baqir عليه السلام about a man who gives preference to some of his children over others. Imam عليه السلام replied: "Yes, and he may also favor some of his wives (over other wives)."
