صَاحِبَةُ الِابْنَةِ الِابْنُ ابْنِي وَ قَالَتْ صَاحِبَةُ الِابْنِ الِابْنُ ابْنِي فَتَحَاكَمَا إِلَى أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع فَأَمَرَ أَنْ يُوزَنَ لَبَنُهُمَا وَ قَالَ أَيَّتُهُمَا كَانَتْ أَثْقَلَ لَبَناً فَالابْنُ لَهَا.

Hadith.3249 - Asim ibn Humayd narrated from Muhammad ibn Qays, from Abu Jafar Imam Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Baqir (as), who said: During the time of Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib (as), a man had two female slaves, and both gave birth on the same night-one to a son and the other to a daughter. The mother of the daughter took her child and placed her in the cradle that contained the son, and she took the son for herself. The mother of the daughter claimed, "The son is mine," and the mother of the son also said: "The son is mine." They brought their case before Commander of the Faithful Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib (as). Imam (as) ordered that their milk be weighed and said: "Whichever of the two has the heavier milk, the son belongs to her."
