مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْحُسَيْنِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ قَبِيصَةَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ النَّيْسَابُورِيِّ عَنْ هَارُونَ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ عَنْ أَبِي مُوسَى عَنْ أَبِي الْعَلَاءِ الشَّامِيِّ عَنْ سُفْيَانَ الثَّوْرِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي زِيَادٍ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ ( عليه السلام ) قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) أَطْعِمُوا حَبَالَاكُمُ اللُّبَانَ فَإِنَّ الصَّبِيَّ إِذَا غُذِّيَ فِي بَطْنِ أُمِّهِ بِاللُّبَانِ اشْتَدَّ قَلْبُهُ وَ زِيدَ فِي عَقْلِهِ فَإِنْ يَكُ ذَكَراً كَانَ شُجَاعاً وَ إِنْ وُلِدَتْ أُنْثَى عَظُمَتْ عَجِيزَتُهَا فَتَحْظَى بِذَلِكَ عِنْدَ زَوْجِهَا .

Translation

6. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Muhammad ibn al-Husayn from Muhammad ibn Qabisah from ‘Abd Allah al-Naysaburi from Harun ibn Muslim from Abu Musa from Abu al-‘Ala’ al-Shami from Sufyan al-Thawri from Abu Ziyad from al-Hassan ibn Ali (a.s.), who has said the following: “The Messenger of Allah (s.w) has said, ‘Feed your women, during their pregnancy, frankincense; if a child receives frankincense for nourishment in the mother’s womb it strengthens the heart of the child and increases the reasoning power of the child. If the child is a male he grows up brave and if the child is female her posterior will grow large which is favorable to her husband.’”
