English translation

4572. It was narrated from 'Amr bin Dinar, that he heard Tāwūs, (narrate) from Ibn 'Abbās, that 'Umar asked about the ruling of the Prophet ﷺ concerning that, and Ḥamal bin Mālik bin An-Nābighah stood up and said: "I was between two women, and one of them struck the other with a tentpole (Mistāh), killing her and her fetus." The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ ruled that a male or female slave be given (as Diyah) for her fetus, and that she should be executed. Abū Dāwūd said: An-Nadr bin Shumail said: "Al-Mistāh is a rolling pin." Abū Dāwūd said: "Abū 'Ubaid said: 'Al-Mistāh is a wooden pole for a tent.'" (Ṣaḥīḥ)

4572 - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مَسْعُودٍ الْمِصِّيصِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَاصِمٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنِي عَمْرُو بْنُ دِينَارٍ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ طَاوُسًا، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، عَنْ عُمَرَ، أَنَّهُ سَأَلَ عَنْ قَضِيَّةِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي ذَلِكَ، فَقَامَ حَمَلُ بْنُ مَالِكِ بْنِ النَّابِغَةِ فَقَالَ: كُنْتُ بَيْنَ امْرَأَتَيْنِ فَضَرَبَتْ إِحْدَاهُمَا الْأُخْرَى بِمِسْطَحٍ فَقَتَلَتْهَا، وَجَنِينَهَا، «فَقَضَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي جَنِينِهَا بِغُرَّةٍ وَأَنْ تُقْتَلَ»، قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ: قَالَ النَّضْرُ بْنُ شُمَيْلٍ: " الْمِسْطَحُ: هُوَ الصَّوْبَجُ " قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ: وَقَالَ أَبُو عُبَيْدٍ: " الْمِسْطَحُ: عُودٌ مِنْ أَعْوَادِ الْخِبَاءِ "
