اُردوEn
قَالَ: وَأَخْبَرَنِي يُونُسُ، عَنْ رَبِيعَةَ، أَنَّهُ قَالَ: فِي ثَدْيِ الْمَرْأَةِ سَدَادٌ لِصَدْرِهَا وَثِمَالٌ لِوَلَدِهَا، وَهُوَ بِمَنْزِلَةِ الْمَالِ فِي الْغِنَى، وَبِمَنْزِلَةِ الْأَثَاثِ فِي الْجَمَالِ، وَبِمَنْزِلَةِ الْجُرْحِ الشَّدِيدِ فِي الْمُصِيبَةِ، فَأَرَى فِيهِ نِصْفَ دِيَةِ الْمَرْأَةِ وَرُوِّينَا عَنِ الشَّعْبِيِّ، وَالنَّخَعِيِّ نَحْوُ قَوْلِ ابْنِ الْمُسَيِّبِ، وَعَنِ النَّخَعِيِّ فِي ثَدْيِ الرَّجُلِ حُكْمُ الْعَدْلِ.
Rabi'ah (may Allah have mercy on him) said: A woman's breasts are a covering for her chest and a means of nourishment for her child; they are like wealth in providing sufficiency and like furnishings in beauty, and injury to them is like a severe wound in its suffering. In my view there is half of a woman's blood money for it. A view similar to that of Ibn al-Musayyib is reported from al-Sha'bi and al-Nakha'i (may Allah have mercy on them), and al-Nakha'i said that for a man's breast there is compensation assessed by a just arbiter.
