أَطْعِمُوا حَبَالَاكُمْ ذَكَرَ اللُّبَانِ فَإِنْ يَكُ فِي بَطْنِهَا غُلَامٌ خَرَجَ ذَكِيَّ الْقَلْبِ عَالِماً شُجَاعاً وَ إِنْ تَكُ جَارِيَةٌ حَسُنَ خَلْقُهَا وَ خُلُقُهَا وَ عَظُمَتْ عَجِيزَتُهَا وَ حَظِيَتْ عِنْدَ زَوْجِهَا .


Translation

A number of our companions, from Sahl Bin Ziyad, from Muhammad Bin Ali, from Muhammad Bin Sinan, (It has been narrated) from Al-Reza<sup>asws</sup> having said: ‘Feed your pregnant women the dairy (products), so if there happens to be a boy in her belly, he would come out as pure of heart, knowledgeable, brave; and if there happens to be a girl, she would be of beautiful in her appearance, and in her manners, and of large buttocks, and she would enjoy with her husband’.
