قَالَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ ( عليه السلام ) أَيُّمَا ظِئْرِ قَوْمٍ قَتَلَتْ صَبِيّاً لَهُمْ وَ هِيَ نَائِمَةٌ فَانْقَلَبَتْ عَلَيْهِ فَقَتَلَتْهُ فَإِنَّ عَلَيْهَا الدِّيَةَ مِنْ مَالِهَا خَاصَّةً إِنْ كَانَتْ إِنَّمَا ظَاءَرَتْ طَلَبَ الْعِزِّ وَ الْفَخْرِ وَ إِنْ كَانَتْ إِنَّمَا ظَاءَرَتْ مِنَ الْفَقْرِ فَإِنَّ الدِّيَةَ عَلَى عَاقِلَتِهَا .
Translation
From him, from Muhammad Bin Aslam, from Haroun Bin Al Jaham, from Muhammad Bin Muslim who said, ‘Abu Ja’far<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘Whichever wet-nurse of the people who kills a child of their whilst in her sleep, turning over upon it, so she kills it, then upon her is the wergild from her wealth in particular, if she was wet-nursing seeking the honour and the pride; and if she was rather wet-nursing out of poverty, so the wergild is upon her blood relatives’.
