Hadith 6606
اُردوEn
(وَعَنْهُ مِنْ طَرِيقٍ ثَانٍ) قَالَ قَضَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي الْجَنِينِ بِغُرَّةٍ عَبْدٍ أَوْ أَمَةٍ فَقَالَ الَّذِي قَضَى عَلَيْهِ أَيُعْقَلُ مَنْ لَا أَكَلَ وَلَا شَرِبَ وَلَا صَاحَ وَلَا اسْتَهَلَّ فَمِثْلُ ذَلِكَ يُطَلُّ فَقَالَ إِنَّ هَذَا الْقَوْلَ لَقَوْلُ شَاعِرٍ فِيهِ غُرَّةٌ عَبْدٌ أَوْ أَمَةٌ
(Second chain) The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, ruled that the blood money (diyah) for a fetus (janin) is a male or female slave. The one upon whom this ruling was made said: "Will blood money be given for one who has neither eaten nor drunk, nor cried out, nor made a sound? Such a soul is wasted." But the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "These are the words of poets. I am saying that for a fetus, the blood money is a male or female slave."
Brief Explanation
Benefits: ... Janin: The child residing in the mother's womb is called "janin" (fetus); it too is a soul (nafs), but its blood money (diyah) is less than that of other lives. The blood money for this child is a male or female slave.
