Hadith text

Original Arabic

حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى، عَنْ مُحَمَّدٍ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو سَلَمَةَ،، ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: " فِي الْجَنِينِ: غُرَّةٌ عَبْدٌ أَوْ أَمَةٌ "، فَقَالَ الَّذِي قُضِيَ عَلَيْهِ: أَيَعْقِلُ مَنْ لَا أَكَلَ وَلَا شَرِبَ، وَلَا صَاحَ، وَلَا اسْتَهَلَّ؟ فَمِثْلُ ذَلِكَ يُطَلُّ، فَقَالَ: " إِنَّ هَذَا ليقَوْلُ بِقَوْلِ شَاعِرٍ، فِيهِ غُرَّةٌ عَبْدٌ أَوْ أَمَةٌ " (١)،

Translation

English translation

It is narrated with the previous chain that the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: The blood money (diyah) for a fetus is one ghurra, that is, a male or female slave. The one against whom this decision was made said: Does it make sense that blood money should be given for a child who neither ate nor drank, nor cried or moved? Such things are usually treated with leniency. The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: He is uttering rhymed phrases like poets, but the ruling remains the same: in this case, one ghurra, that is, a male or female slave, is obligatory.
