4826. It was narrated that Al-Mughîrah bin Shu'bah said: "A woman struck her co-wife, who was pregnant, with a tent pole and killed her. The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ ruled that the ʿAṣabah of the killer was to pay the Diyah and to give a slave (as Diyah for) the child in her womb. One of the ʿAṣabah of the killer said: 'Am I to pay blood money for one who neither ate nor drank, or shouted or cried (at the moment of birth)? Such a one should be overlooked.' The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said: 'Rhyming verse like the verse of the Bedouin?' and he made them pay the Diyah." (Sahîh)
