أَخْبَرَنَا مَحْمُودُ بْنُ غَيْلَانَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو دَاوُدَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ عُبَيْدِ بْنِ نُضَيْلَةَ عَنْ الْمُغِيرَةِ بْنِ شُعْبَةَ أَنَّ رَجُلًا مِنْ هُذَيْلٍ کَانَ لَهُ امْرَأَتَانِ فَرَمَتْ إِحْدَاهُمَا الْأُخْرَی بِعَمُودِ الْفُسْطَاطِ فَأَسْقَطَتْ فَقِيلَ أَرَأَيْتَ مَنْ لَا أَکَلْ وَلَا شَرِبَ وَلَا صَاحَ فَاسْتَهَلَّ فَقَالَ أَسَجْعٌ کَسَجْعِ الْأَعْرَابِ فَقَضَی فِيهِ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِغُرَّةٍ عَبْدٍ أَوْ أَمَةٍ وَجُعِلَتْ عَلَی عَاقِلَةِ الْمَرْأَةِ أَرْسَلَهُ الْأَعْمَشُ
سنن نسائی · Hadith 4841
It was narrated from Al Mughira bin Shu’bah that a man of Hudhail had two wives, and one of them threw a tent pole at the other and caused her to miscarry. It was said: “What do you think of one who neither ate or drank, or shouted nor cried (at the moment of birth)?” He said: “Rhyming verse like the verse of the Bedouins.” And the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم ruled that a male or female slave should be given (as Diyah) for him (the unborn child), to be paid by the ‘Aqilah of the woman. (Sahih) Al-A’ma reported it in Mursal form.
