English translation

4825. It was narrated from Al-Mughîrah bin Shu'bah that a woman struck her co-wife with a tent pole and killed her, and she (the slain woman) was pregnant. She was brought to the Prophet ﷺ, and the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ ruled that the ʿAṣabah of the killer should pay the Diyah, and a slave (should be paid) for the fetus. Her ʿAṣabah said: "Should Diyah be paid for one who neither ate nor drank, or shouted or cried (at the moment of birth)? Such a one should be overlooked." The Prophet ﷺ said: "Rhyming verse like the verse of the Bedouins." (Sahih)

Arabic text

4821 - أَخْبَرَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا خَلَفٌ وَهُوَ ابْنُ تَمِيمٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا زَائِدَةُ، عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ بْنِ نُضَيْلَةَ، عَنْ الْمُغِيرَةِ بْنِ شُعْبَةَ: أَنَّ امْرَأَةً ضَرَبَتْ ضَرَّتَهَا بِعَمُودِ فُسْطَاطٍ فَقَتَلَتْهَا، وَهِيَ حُبْلَى، فَأُتِيَ فِيهَا النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَضَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَلَى عَصَبَةِ الْقَاتِلَةِ بِالدِّيَةِ، وَفِي الْجَنِينِ غُرَّةً، فَقَالَ عَصَبَتُهَا: أَدِي مَنْ لَا طَعِمَ، وَلَا شَرِبَ، وَلَا صَاحَ فَاسْتَهَلَّ، فَمِثْلُ هَذَا يُطَلَّ؟ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «أَسَجْعٌ كَسَجْعِ الْأَعْرَابِ؟»
