حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ عُمَرَ، أَخْبَرَنَا يُونُسُ (٥) ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ، ، سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْمُسَيِّبِ، وَأَبِي سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ: اقْتَتَلَتْ امْرَأَتَانِ مِنْ هُذَيْلٍ، فَرَمَتْ إِحْدَاهُمَا الْأُخْرَى بِحَجَرٍ فَقَتَلَتْهَا، وَمَا فِي بَطْنِهَا، فَاخْتَصَمُوا إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَضَى رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " أَنَّ دِيَةَ جَنِينِهَا غُرَّةٌ عَبْدٌ أَوْ وَلِيدَةٌ، وَقَضَى بِدِيَةِ الْمَرْأَةِ عَلَى عَاقِلَتِهَا " (١) فَقَالَ حَمَلُ بْنُ نَابِغَةَ الْهُذَلِيُّ: كَيْفَ أَغْرَمُ مَنْ لَا شَرِبَ، وَلَا أَكَلَ، وَلَا نَطَقَ، وَلَا اسْتَهَلَّ؟ فَمِثْلُ ذَلِكَ يُطَلُّ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " إِنَّمَا هُوَ مِنْ إِخْوَانِ الْكُهَّانِ مِنْ أَجْلِ سَجْعِهِ الَّذِي سَجَعَ " (٢)،
Translation
English translation
It is narrated from Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that there was a dispute between two women of the Banu Huzail. One of them struck the other, who was pregnant, with a stone and killed her, and the child in her womb was also born dead. The Noble Prophet (ﷺ) gave the ruling in this matter that the family of the killer must pay the blood money (diyah) for the slain woman, and for her child, one "ghurra" (i.e., a male or female slave). Upon this decision, a man objected (in rhymed prose), saying, "How can the blood money for a child be decided, who neither ate nor drank, nor spoke nor cried? Such things are usually left aside." According to Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him), the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said, "This man is the brother of soothsayers."
