5760. Narrated Ibn Shihāb: Sa'īd bin Al-Musaiyab said, “Allāh’s Messenger ﷺ judged that in case of child killed in the womb of its mother, the offender should give the mother a slave or a female slave in recompense. The offender said, ‘How can I be fined for killing one who neither ate nor drank, neither spoke nor cried; a case like that should be denied.’ On that Allāh’s Messenger ﷺ said, ‘He is one of the brothers of the foretellers.’”
