Musnad Abi Ya'la 1823 — one of two women of the tribe of Hudhayl

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) that one of two women of the tribe of Hudhayl killed the other, and each of them had a husband and children. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) made the blood money (diyah) of the slain woman binding on the 'aqilah (the paternal male relatives) of the woman who killed her, and he absolved her husband and children of paying it. Al-Sha'bi (may Allah have mercy on him) said: The 'aqilah of the slain woman demanded that her inheritance should go to them, but the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "No, rather her inheritance is for her husband and her children." The narrator said: The slain woman was pregnant, so the paternal relatives of the slain woman said that she was pregnant and (because of the blow) her unborn child had also been miscarried. The narrator said: At this the 'aqilah of the killer feared that he (peace and blessings be upon him) would make them liable for compensation for the unborn child as well, so they said (as an argument): O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)! It (the child) neither ate nor drank, nor did it cry, nor did it make any sound at birth (so how can there be a penalty for it?). At this the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Is this the rhymed speech (saj') of the Jahiliyyah?" Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) gave the judgement that a male or female slave be given as ghurrah (compensation) for the unborn child.
