و حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ رَافِعٍ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَی بْنُ آدَمَ حَدَّثَنَا مُفَضَّلٌ عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ عُبَيْدِ بْنِ نُضَيْلَةَ عَنْ الْمُغِيرَةِ بْنِ شُعْبَةَ أَنَّ امْرَأَةً قَتَلَتْ ضَرَّتَهَا بِعَمُودِ فُسْطَاطٍ فَأُتِيَ فِيهِ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَضَی عَلَی عَاقِلَتِهَا بِالدِّيَةِ وَکَانَتْ حَامِلًا فَقَضَی فِي الْجَنِينِ بِغُرَّةٍ فَقَالَ بَعْضُ عَصَبَتِهَا أَنَدِي مَنْ لَا طَعِمَ وَلَا شَرِبَ وَلَا صَاحَ فَاسْتَهَلَّ وَمِثْلُ ذَلِکَ يُطَلُّ قَالَ فَقَالَ سَجْعٌ کَسَجْعِ الْأَعْرَابِ
صحیح مسلم · Hadith 4394
Al-Mughira b. Shu'ba reported that a woman struck her co-wife with a tent-pole and she was pregnant and she killed her. One of them belonged to the tribe of Lihyan. Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) made the relatives of the murderer responsible for the payment of blood-wit on her behalf, and fixed a slave or a female slave as the indemnity for what was in her womb. One of the persons amongst the relatives of the murderer said: Should we pay indemnity for one who, neither ate, nor drank, nor made any noise, who was just like a nonentity? Thereupon Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) remarked: He speaks rhymed phrases like the people of the desert. He did impose indemnity upon them.
