Hadith 1095
1095 صحيح حديث أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَضى فِي امْرَأَتَيْنِ مِنْ هُذَيْلٍ اقْتَتَلَتَا، فَرَمَتْ إِحْدَاهُمَا الأُخْرَى بَحَجَرٍ، فَأَصَابَ بَطْنَهَا وَهِيَ حَامِلٌ، فَقَتَلَتْ وَلَدَهَا الَّذِي فِي بَطْنِهَا فَاخْتَصَمُوا إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَقَضى أَنَّ دِيَةَ مَا فِي بَطْنِهَا غُرَّةٌ: عَبْدٌ أَوْ أَمَةٌ؛ فَقَالَ وَلِيُّ الْمَرْأَةِ الَّتِي غَرِمَتْ: كَيْفَ أَغْرَمُ، يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ مَنْ لاَ شَرِبَ وَلاَ أَكلَ، وَلاَ نَطَقَ وَلاَ اسْتَهَلَّ، فَمِثْلُ ذَلِكَ بطَلَ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : إِنَّمَا هذَا مِنْ إِخْوَانِ الْكهَّانِ
Hazrat Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) gave a verdict regarding two women from the tribe of Huzail who had a dispute, until one of the women (Umm ‘Atiyyf bint Marwah) struck the other (whose name was Maleekah bint ‘Uwaymir) with a stone. The stone hit the woman in her abdomen. The woman was pregnant, so the child in her womb died due to the blow of the stone. Both parties brought the matter to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), so he ruled that the blood money (diyah) for the child in the womb was to free a male or female slave. The guardian of the woman upon whom the compensation was obligatory (Haml bin Malik bin Nabighah) said: O Messenger of Allah! How can I pay blood money for one who neither ate nor drank, neither spoke nor was his cry heard at birth? In such a case, there should be no blood money. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to him: This man seems to be the brother of soothsayers (kahins). (That is why he speaks in rhymed and measured phrases like the soothsayers.)
Hadith 1096
1096 صحيح حديث الْمُغِيرَةِ بْنِ شُعْبَةَ وَمُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مَسْلَمَةَ عَنْ عُمَرَ رضي الله عنه، أَنَّهُ اسْتَشَارَهُمْ فِي إِمْلاَصِ الْمَرْأَةِ؛ فَقَالَ الْمُغِيرَةُ: قَضى النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِالْغُرَّةِ: عَبْدٍ أَوْ أَمَةٍ فَشَهِدَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مَسْلَمَةَ أَنَّهُ شَهِدَ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَضى بِهِ
Hazrat Umar Farooq (may Allah be pleased with him) consulted regarding the blood money for a woman who had miscarried. Hazrat Mughirah (may Allah be pleased with him) said that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) had given a verdict in such a matter concerning a slave man or slave woman. Then Hazrat Muhammad bin Maslamah (may Allah be pleased with him) also testified that when the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) gave that verdict, he was present.
