أبي - رحمه الله - قال: حدثنا محمد بن يحيى العطار، عن محمد بن أحمد، عن علي بن السندي، عن محمد بن عمرو بن سعيد، عن أبيه، قال: كنت عند أبي الحسن عليه السلام حيث دخل عليه داود الرقي فقال له: جعلت فداك إن الناس يقولون: إذا مضى للحامل ستة أشهر فقد فرغ الله من خلقته. فقال أبو الحسن عليه السلام: يا داود ادع ولو بشق الصفا. فقلت: جعلت فداك وأي شئ الصفا؟ قال: ما يخرج مع الولد فإن الله يفعل ما يشاء.
79.	My father, may Allah grant him mercy, said: We were told by Muhammed bin Yahya al-‘Attar, from Muhammed bin Ahmad, from Ali bin Sindi, from Muhammed bin Amru bin Sa’eed, from his father, that he said: I was at the place of Abu’l-Hasan, peace be upon him, as Dawud al-Barqi entered into his place and said to him: May I be sacrificed for you, the people are saying that when six months have passed for a pregnant, Allah is finished with His creation. Abu’l-Hasan, peace be upon him, then said: O Dawud, supplicate, even if for the splitting of the ssafaa. I said: May I be sacrificed for you, and what thing is a ssafaa? He said: That which comes out along with a child, for indeed, Allah does whatever He wishes.
