English translation
4827. It was narrated from Al-Mughîrah bin Shu'bah that there were two co-wives, one of whom struck the other with a tent pole and killed her. The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ ruled that the Diyah was to be paid by the ʿAṣabah of the killer, and that a slave should be given (as Diyah) for the child in her womb. The Bedouin said: "Are you penalizing me for one who neither ate nor drank, or shouted or cried (at the moment of birth)? Such a one should be overlooked.” He said: “Rhyming verse like the verse of the Jâhiliyyah,” and he ruled that a slave should be given (as Diyah) for the child in her womb. (Sahîh)
