4574. It was narrated that Ibn 'Abbās said, concerning the story of Ḥamal bin Mālik (no. 4572): "She miscarried a boy whose hair had grown, and he was dead, and the woman died too. He ruled that her male relatives on her father's side had to pay the Diyah, and her paternal uncle said: 'O Prophet of Allāh, she miscarried a boy whose hair had grown.' The father of the killer said: 'He is lying. By Allāh, he did not raise his voice or drink or eat. No compensation can be paid for such a one.' The Prophet ﷺ said: 'Is it Saja' (poetry) like the Saja' of the Jahiliyyah and soothsayers? Give a slave as Diyah for the boy.'" (Da'if) Ibn 'Abbās said: "The name of one of them was Mulaikah and the other was Umm Ghutaif."

4574 - حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ التَّمَّارُ، أَنَّ عَمْرَو بْنَ طَلْحَةَ، حَدَّثَهُمْ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَسْبَاطٌ، عَنْ سِمَاكٍ، عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، فِي قِصَّةِ حَمَلِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ قَالَ: فَأَسْقَطَتْ غُلَامًا قَدْ نَبَتَ شَعْرُهُ مَيِّتًا، وَمَاتَتِ الْمَرْأَةُ، فَقَضَى عَلَى الْعَاقِلَةِ الدِّيَةَ، فَقَالَ عَمُّهَا: إِنَّهَا قَدْ أَسْقَطَتْ يَا نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ غُلَامًا قَدْ نَبَتَ شَعْرُهُ، فَقَالَ أَبُو الْقَاتِلَةِ: إِنَّهُ كَاذِبٌ، إِنَّهُ وَاللَّهِ مَا اسْتَهَلَّ، وَلَا شَرِبَ وَلَا أَكَلَ، فَمِثْلُهُ يُطَلُّ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «أَسَجْعَ الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ وَكَهَانَتَهَا، أَدِّ فِي الصَّبِيِّ غُرَّةً» قَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ: «كَانَ اسْمُ إِحْدَاهُمَا مُلَيْكَةَ وَالْأُخْرَى أُمَّ غُطَيْفٍ»
