1. A number of our people have narrated from Sahl ibn Ziyad and Muhammad ibn Yahya from Sahl ibn Ziyad and Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad and Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father all from ibn Mahbub from Hammad ibn ‘Isa from Sawwar from al-Hassan who has narrated the following: “When Ali عليه السلام, defeated Talhah and al-Zubayr, people came defeated and passed by a pregnant woman on the road who was frightened and miscarried her child who was alive but then died. She, because of shock died after the child. Ali عليه السلام, and his people passed by where she with her child was left on the road. He (the Imam) asked them about her case and they said that she was pregnant. Because of shock on seeing the dead and defeated she has died. He (the Imam) then asked, ’Who died first?’ They said, ’The child died before her.’ He (the Imam) called her husband and made him to inherit his son for two-thirds of the wergild and the mother to inherit one-third of the wergild. He (the Imam) made the man to inherit from his dead wife one-half of the one-third, which she had inherited of the wergild of her son. The relatives of the dead woman inherited the remaining. He (the Imam) then made the husband to inherit also from the wergild of the dead woman, one-half which is two thousand and five hundred dirham. He (the Imam) allowed the relatives of the dead woman to inherit the other one-half, which was two thousand and five hundred dirham. This is because she did not have any children other than that whom she miscarried because of shock. He (the narrator) has said that he (the Imam) paid all of it from the public treasury of Basrah.’”
