سنن نسائی · Hadith 4843
It was narrated that Ibn ‘Abbas said: “There were two women neighbors between whom there was some trouble. One of them threw a rock at the other and she miscarried a boy — whose hair had already grown — who was born dead, and the woman died too. He ruled that the ‘Aqilah had to pay the Diyah. Her paternal uncle said: ‘Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم, she miscarried a boy whose hair had grown.’ The father of the killer said: ‘He is lying. By Allah he never cried or shouted (at the moment of birth), nor drank nor ate. Such a one should be overlooked.’ The Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم said: ‘Rhyming verse like the verse of the Jahiliyyah and of its soothsayers? A slave must be given (as Diyah) for the boy Ibn ‘Abbas said: “One of them was Mulaikah and the other was Umm Ghatif.” (Da’if)
