Hadith.4504 - Abdullah ibn Jafar al-Himyari narrated from Ayyub ibn Nuh, who said
One of his (as) companions wrote to him, saying: "I had a wife, and I have a child from her, but I divorced her." Imam (as) wrote in reply: "The mother has more right to the child until the child reaches seven years of age, unless the mother chooses otherwise."
4504 - وَ رَوَى عَبْدُ اَللَّهِ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ اَلْحِمْيَرِيُّ عَنْ أَيُّوبَ بْنِ نُوحٍ قَالَ
كَتَبَ إِلَيْهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ بَعْضُ أَصْحَابِهِ أَنَّهُ كَانَتْ لِيَ اِمْرَأَةٌ وَ لِي مِنْهَا وَلَدٌ وَ خَلَّيْتُ سَبِيلَهَا فَكَتَبَ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ "اَلْمَرْأَةُ أَحَقُّ بِالْوَلَدِ إِلَى أَنْ يَبْلُغَ سَبْعَ سِنِينَ إِلاَّ أَنْ تَشَاءَ اَلْمَرْأَةُ".
