Al-Kāfi|Volume 7|Book 2|Chapter 48
6- عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ يُونُسَ عَنِ ابْنِ عَوْنٍ عَنْ بَعْضِهِمْ قَالَ سَمِعْتُهُ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) يَقُولُ إِنَّ الْمَنْفُوسَ لا يَرِثُ مِنَ الدِّيَةِ شَيْئاً حَتَّى يَسْتَهِلَّ وَيُسْمَعَ صَوْتُهُ.
6. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from Muhammad ibn ‘Isa from Yunus from ibn ‘Awn from certain persons of them who has narrated the following: “I once heard him (the Imam) عليه السلام, saying, ‘A newborn does not inherit from a wergild anything unless he cries at the time of birth and his voice is heard.’”
