Hadith.5363 - Muhammad ibn Ahmad ibn Yahya ibn Imran Al-Ash'ari narrated from Muhammad ibn Najiyah, who narrated from Muhammad ibn Ali, who narrated from Abd Al-Rahman ibn Salim, who narrated from his father, who narrated from Abu Jafar Imam Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Baqir (as), who said
"Any wet nurse of a people who accidentally kills their child while sleeping - by rolling over and causing the child's death - the blood money is to be paid from her personal wealth if she took on nursing for the sake of pride and honor. However, if she undertook nursing due to poverty, then the blood money is upon her family ('Aqilah)."
5363 - رَوَى مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ يَحْيَى بْنِ عِمْرَانَ اَلْأَشْعَرِيُّ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ نَاجِيَةَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ عَنْ عَبْدِ اَلرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ سَالِمٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ
"أَيُّمَا ظِئْرِ قَوْمٍ قَتَلَتْ صَبِيّاً لَهُمْ وَ هِيَ نَائِمَةٌ فَانْقَلَبَتْ عَلَيْهِ فَقَتَلَتْهُ فَإِنَّمَا عَلَيْهَا اَلدِّيَةُ مِنْ مَالِهَا خَاصَّةً إِنْ كَانَتْ إِنَّمَا ظَاءَرَتْ طَلَبَ اَلْعِزِّ وَ اَلْفَخْرِ وَ إِنْ كَانَتْ إِنَّمَا ظَاءَرَتْ مِنَ اَلْفَقْرِ فَإِنَّ اَلدِّيَةَ عَلَى عَاقِلَتِهَا".
