Abu al-Malih al-Hudhali narrates this statement of his father: There was a man among us named Hamal bin Malik bin al-Nabighah, who had two wives: one of them was from the tribe of Hudhayl and the other from Banu Amir. The woman from Hudhayl struck the belly of the woman from Amir with a tent pole, and the other woman gave birth to a dead child. Hamal bin Malik took the woman who had struck her to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him); with that woman was her brother, whose name was Imran bin Uwaymir. When they related the whole incident to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Pay its blood money." Imran bin Uwaymir said: "O Prophet of Allah, shall we pay blood money for one who neither ate anything nor drank anything, nor cried out nor wailed? Blood like this goes unavenged." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Keep this Bedouin-style rhyming away from me! For it, a slave or a slave-woman must be paid, or five hundred, or a horse, or one hundred and twenty goats." That man said: "O Messenger of Allah, this woman has two sons, and both of them are chiefs of the tribe; they are more entitled to pay the blood money on behalf of their mother." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "You are more entitled than this woman's children to pay the blood money on behalf of your sister." The man said: "I have nothing that I could pay as blood money." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "O Hamal bin Malik." The narrator said: In those days he was in charge of the charity (sadaqah) of the tribe of Hudhayl, and he was the husband of that woman and the father of the slain child in her womb. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Take one hundred and twenty goats from the charity of Hudhayl that is in your charge." And he did so.
Al-Tabarani recorded it, and al-Bazzar recorded it in a greatly abridged form. Its chain contains a narrator, al-Minhal bin Khalifah, whom Abu Hatim declared thiqah (trustworthy), while a group declared him da'if (weak); the remaining narrators of this report are thiqat (trustworthy).
