English translation

[4394] 38 - (...) It was narrated that Al-Mughîrah bin Shu'bah said: "A woman killed her co-wife with a tent pole. Her case was brought to the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ and he ruled that her ʿAqilah should pay the Diyah. She was pregnant, so he also ruled that a slave be given as Diyah for the fetus. One of her ʿAsabah said: 'Should we pay Diyah for one who did not eat or drink or cry or make any sound? Such a one should be overlooked.' He said: 'Is this rhymed speech like that of the Bedouin?'"

Arabic text

38 - (1682) وحَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ رَافِعٍ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ آدَمَ، حَدَّثَنَا مُفَضَّلٌ، عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ بْنِ نُضَيْلَةَ، عَنِ الْمُغِيرَةِ بْنِ شُعْبَةَ، أَنَّ امْرَأَةً قَتَلَتْ ضَرَّتَهَا بِعَمُودِ فُسْطَاطٍ، فَأُتِيَ فِيهِ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَضَى عَلَى عَاقِلَتِهَا بِالدِّيَةِ، وَكَانَتْ حَامِلًا، فَقَضَى فِي الْجَنِينِ بِغُرَّةٍ، فَقَالَ بَعْضُ عَصَبَتِهَا: أَنَدِي مَنْ لَا طَعِمَ، وَلَا شَرِبَ، وَلَا صَاحَ فَاسْتَهَلَّ، وَمِثْلُ ذَلِكَ يُطَلُّ، قَالَ، فَقَالَ: «سَجْعٌ كَسَجْعِ الْأَعْرَابِ»،
