Hadith 778
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى ، قَالَ : ثنا وَهْبُ بْنُ جَرِيرٍ ، قَالَ : ثنا شُعْبَةُ ، عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ بْنِ نَضْلَةَ ، عَنِ الْمُغِيرَةِ بْنِ شُعْبَةَ ، أَنَّ امْرَأَتَيْنِ كَانَتَا ضَرَّتَيْنِ فَرَمَتْ إِحْدَاهُمَا الأُخْرَى بِحَجَرٍ أَوْ بِعَمُودِ فُسْطَاطٍ فَأَلْقَتْ جَنِينًا ، " فَقَضَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِيهِ غُرَّةَ عَبْدٍ أَوْ أَمَةٍ ، وَجَعَلَهُ عَلَى عَصَبَةِ الْمَرْأَةِ " .
Sayyiduna Mughirah bin Shu’bah (may Allah be pleased with him) reports that there were two co-wives. One of them struck the other with a stone or a tent pole, causing the other’s unborn child to miscarry. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) ruled that the blood money (diyah) for the unborn child is a “ghurrah” (a male or female slave), and he placed the payment of the diyah upon the woman’s ‘asaba (male relatives).
