أَخْبَرَنَا سُوَيْدُ بْنُ نَصْرٍ قَالَ أَنْبَأَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ عَنْ شُعْبَةَ عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ عُبَيْدِ بْنِ نُضَيْلَةَ عَنْ الْمُغِيرَةِ بْنِ شُعْبَةَ أَنَّ امْرَأَتَيْنِ کَانَتَا تَحْتَ رَجُلٍ مِنْ هُذَيْلٍ فَرَمَتْ إِحْدَاهُمَا الْأُخْرَی بِعَمُودِ فُسْطَاطٍ فَأَسْقَطَتْ فَاخْتَصَمَا إِلَی النَّبِيِّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالُوا کَيْفَ نَدِي مَنْ لَا صَاحَ وَلَا اسْتَهَلَّ وَلَا شَرِبَ وَلَا أَکَلْ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَسَجْعٌ کَسَجْعِ الْأَعْرَابِ فَقَضَی بِالْغُرَّةِ عَلَی عَاقِلَةِ الْمَرْأَةِ
سنن نسائی · Hadith 4840
It was narrated from Al Mughira bin Shu’bah that two women were married to a man of Hudhail, and one of them threw a tent pole at the other and caused her to miscarry. They referred the dispute to the Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم and they said: “How can we pay the Diyah for one who neither shouted nor cried (at the moment of birth), or ate or drank? Such a one should be overlooked.” He said: “Rhyming verse like the verse of the Bedouins?” And he ruled that the ‘Aqilah of the women should give a slave (as Diyah). (Sahih).
