Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 29042 — The fetus of a free woman

Sayyiduna al-Miswar bin Makhramah (may Allah be pleased with him) said that Sayyiduna Umar bin al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) was consulting people about the destruction of the child in a woman's womb before birth, as to what the blood money would be in that case. Sayyiduna al-Mughirah bin Shu'bah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "I was present with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and he (peace and blessings be upon him) ruled in this matter a ghurrah, that is, a male slave or a female slave." Sayyiduna Umar said to him: "Bring someone who will bear witness to this ruling with you." So Sayyiduna Muhammad bin Maslamah (may Allah be pleased with him) bore witness in his favour.
