English translation

4570. It was narrated from Al-Miswar bin Makhramah that 'Umar consulted the people regarding a case where a woman was caused to abort (Imlās). Al-Mughīrah bin Shu'bah said: "I saw the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ ruling that a male or female slave be given (as Diyah). He said: 'Bring someone who will testify with you.' He brought Muḥammad bin Maslamah." Hārūn (one of the narrators) added: "And he bore witness to him," meaning, that the man had struck his wife's belly. (Sahih) Abū Dāwud said: It was conveyed to me from Abū 'Ubaid: "It was only called 'Imlās' (slipping) because it slipped from the woman before the time it was due, and like that, all of what slips from the hand or other than that, is called Malīṣ."

4570 - حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، وَهَارُونُ بْنُ عَبَّادٍ الْأَزْدِيُّ الْمَعْنَى، قَالَا: حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، عَنْ هِشَامٍ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ، عَنِ الْمِسْوَرِ بْنِ مَخْرَمَةَ، أَنَّ عُمَرَ، اسْتَشَارَ النَّاسَ فِي إِمْلَاصِ الْمَرْأَةِ، فَقَالَ الْمُغِيرَةُ بْنُ شُعْبَةَ: شَهِدْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «قَضَى فِيهَا بِغُرَّةٍ عَبْدٍ أَوْ أَمَةٍ» فَقَالَ: ائْتِنِي بِمَنْ يَشْهَدُ مَعَكَ، فَأَتَاهُ بِمُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مَسْلَمَةَ، زَادَ هَارُونُ فَشَهِدَ لَهُ يَعْنِي ضَرْبَ الرَّجُلِ بَطْنَ امْرَأَتِهِ قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ: بَلَغَنِي عَنْ أَبِي عُبَيْدٍ: «إِنَّمَا سُمِّيَ إِمْلَاصًا، لِأَنَّ الْمَرْأَةَ تُزْلِقُهُ، قَبْلَ وَقْتِ الْوِلَادَةِ، وَكَذَلِكَ كُلُّ مَا زَلَقَ مِنَ الْيَدِ، وَغَيْرِهِ فَقَدْ مَلِصَ»
