6740. Narrated Abū Hurairah رضي الله عنه: Allāh's Messenger ﷺ gave the judgement that a male or female slave should be given in Qisās(1) for an abortion case of a woman from the tribe of Banī Lihyān (as blood money for the foetus), but the lady on whom the penalty had been imposed died; so the Prophet ﷺ ordered that her property be inherited by her offspring and her husband and that the penalty be paid by her ʿAṣaba.(2)
6740 - حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ المُسَيِّبِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنَّهُ قَالَ: «قَضَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي جَنِينِ امْرَأَةٍ مِنْ بَنِي لَحْيَانَ سَقَطَ مَيِّتًا بِغُرَّةٍ، عَبْدٍ أَوْ أَمَةٍ، ثُمَّ إِنَّ المَرْأَةَ الَّتِي قَضَى لَهَا بِالْغُرَّةِ تُوُفِّيَتْ، فَقَضَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِأَنَّ مِيرَاثَهَا لِبَنِيهَا وَزَوْجِهَا، وَأَنَّ العَقْلَ عَلَى عَصَبَتِهَا»
