2640. It was narrated that Miswar bin Makhramah said: "Umar bin Khattāb consulted the people concerning a woman who had been caused to miscarry. Al-Mughirah bin Shu'bah said: 'I saw the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ rule that a slave, male or female, be given as blood money (for a fetus).' Umar said: 'Bring me someone who will testify alongside you. So he brought Muhammad bin Maslamah to testify alongside him.'") (Sahih) مَسْلَمَةٌ.
2640 - حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، وَعَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ قَالَا: حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنِ الْمِسْوَرِ بْنِ مَخْرَمَةَ قَالَ: اسْتَشَارَ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ النَّاسَ فِي إِمْلَاصِ الْمَرْأَةِ - يَعْنِي سِقْطَهَا - فَقَالَ الْمُغِيرَةُ بْنُ شُعْبَةَ: شَهِدْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ «قَضَى فِيهِ بِغُرَّةٍ، عَبْدٍ أَوْ أَمَةٍ» . فَقَالَ عُمَرُ: ائْتِنِي بِمَنْ يَشْهَدُ مَعَكَ، فَشَهِدَ مَعَهُ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مَسْلَمَةَ

'Umar did not have any doubt about the narration of Mughirah, but he wanted to verify it because the issue was over a legal matter and it was necessary to confirm this point. The other reason behind this confirmation was to send a warning message to the general public, that if a statement of an eminent Companion can be questioned, the general public should be very careful and not quote any Hadith of the Noble Prophet ﷺ without proper proof and investigation.
