[4393] 37 - (1682) It was narrated that Al-Mughîrah bin Shu'bah said: "A woman struck pregnant co-wife with a tent pole, killing her. One of the women was from the tribe of Lihyân. The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ ruled that the Diyah for the one who had been killed was to be paid by the ʿAsabah of the killer, and a slave, male or female, should be given (as Diyah) for the fetus in her womb. A man from the ʿAsabah of the killer said: 'Should we pay the Diyah for one who did not eat or drink or make any sound? Such a one should be overlooked.' The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said: 'Is this rhymed speech like that of the Bedouin?'" He said: "And he (ﷺ) imposed the Diyah on them."

37 - (1682) حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ الْحَنْظَلِيُّ، أَخْبَرَنَا جَرِيرٌ، عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ بْنِ نُضَيْلَةَ الْخُزَاعِيِّ، عَنِ الْمُغِيرَةِ بْنِ شُعْبَةَ، قَالَ: ضَرَبَتِ امْرَأَةٌ ضَرَّتَهَا بِعَمُودِ فُسْطَاطٍ وَهِيَ حُبْلَى، فَقَتَلَتْهَا، قَالَ: وَإِحْدَاهُمَا لِحْيَانِيَّةٌ، قَالَ: فَجَعَلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ دِيَةَ الْمَقْتُولَةِ عَلَى عَصَبَةِ الْقَاتِلَةِ، وَغُرَّةً لِمَا فِي بَطْنِهَا، فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ عَصَبَةِ الْقَاتِلَةِ: أَنَغْرَمُ دِيَةَ مَنْ لَا أَكَلَ، وَلَا شَرِبَ، وَلَا اسْتَهَلَّ، فَمِثْلُ ذَلِكَ يُطَلُّ؟ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «أَسَجْعٌ كَسَجْعِ الْأَعْرَابِ؟» قَالَ: وَجَعَلَ عَلَيْهِمُ الدِّيَةَ
