English translation

4576. It was narrated from Yūnus, from Ibn Shihāb, from Sa'eed bin Al-Musayyab and Abū Salamah, from Abū Hurairah who said: "Two women of Hudhail had a fight, and one of them threw a rock at the other and killed her. They referred the dispute to the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ, and the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ ruled that the Diyah for her fetus should be a male or female slave. And, he ruled that the Diyah for the woman should be paid by her male relatives on her father's side, and he made her children and those who were with them her heirs. Hamal bin Mālik bin Al-Nābighah Al-Hudhālī said: 'O Messenger of Allāh, how can I pay Diyah for one who did not eat, nor drink, nor speak, nor raise his voice? No compensation can be paid for such a one.' The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: 'This is one of the brothers of the soothsayers' because of what he heard of his Saja' (poetry)." (Ṣaḥīḥ)

4576 - حَدَّثَنَا وَهْبُ بْنُ بَيَانٍ، وَابْنُ السَّرْحِ، قَالَا: حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ، أَخْبَرَنِي يُونُسُ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْمُسَيَّبِ، وَأَبِي سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ: اقْتَتَلَتِ امْرَأَتَانِ مِنْ هُذَيْلٍ فَرَمَتْ إِحْدَاهُمَا الْأُخْرَى بِحَجَرٍ فَقَتَلَتْهَا، فَاخْتَصَمُوا إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَضَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ دِيَةَ جَنِينِهَا غُرَّةَ عَبْدٍ أَوْ وَلِيدَةٍ، وَقَضَى بِدِيَةِ الْمَرْأَةِ عَلَى عَاقِلَتِهَا، وَوَرَّثَهَا وَلَدَهَا وَمَنْ مَعَهُمْ، فَقَالَ حَمَلُ بْنُ مَالِكِ بْنِ النَّابِغَةِ الْهُذَلِيُّ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، كَيْفَ أُغْرَمُ دِيَةَ مَنْ لَا شَرِبَ وَلَا أَكَلَ، لَا نَطَقَ، وَلَا اسْتَهَلَّ، فَمِثْلُ ذَلِكَ يُطَلُّ؟ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «إِنَّمَا هَذَا مِنْ إِخْوَانِ الْكُهَّانِ» مِنْ أَجْلِ سَجْعِهِ الَّذِي سَجَعَ
