حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، أَخْبَرَنَا مَعْمَرٌ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ: اقْتَتَلَتِ امْرَأَتَانِ مِنْ هُذَيْلٍ، فَرَمَتْ إِحْدَاهُمَا الْأُخْرَى بِحَجَرٍ، فَأَصَابَتْ بَطْنَهَا، فَقَتَلَتْهَا، وَأَلْقَتْ جَنِينًا، " فَقَضَى رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِدِيَتِهَا عَلَى الْعَاقِلَةِ، وَفِي جَنِينِهَا غُرَّةٌ: عَبْدٌ (٢) أَوْ أَمَةٌ "، فَقَالَ قَائِلٌ: كَيْفَ يُعْقَلُ مَنْ لَا أَكَلَ، وَلَا شَرِبَ، وَلَا نَطَقَ، وَلَا اسْتَهَلَّ؟ فَمِثْلُ ذَلِكَ يُطَلُّ (٣) . فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، كَمَا زَعَمَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ: " هَذَا مِنْ إِخْوَانِ الْكُهَّانِ " (٤)، ،

Translation

English translation

It is narrated from Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) that there was a dispute between two women of the tribe of 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) ruled in this matter that the family of the killer must pay the blood money (diyat) 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 Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him), the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said, "This man is the brother of soothsayers."
