Should we pay indemnity for one who, neither ate, nor drank, nor made any noise, who was just like a nonentity? Thereupon Messenger of Allah ﷺ remarked: He speaks rhymed phrases like the people of the desert. He did impose indemnity upon them.

He said ﷺ , "Is this not a crime like the crimes of the pre-Islamic era?" And he placed it upon the guardians of the woman  

كَانَتْ عِنْدَ رَجُلٍ مِنْ هُذَيْلٍ امْرَأَتَانِ فَغَارَتْ إِحْدَاهُمَا عَلَى الْأُخْرَى فَرَمَتْهَا بِفِهْرٍ أَوْ عَمُودِ فُسْطَاطٍ فَأَسْقَطَتْ فَرُفِعَ ذَلِكَ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَضَى فِيهِ بِغُرَّةٍ فَقَالَ وَلِيُّهَا أَنَدِي مَنْ لَا صَاحَ وَلَا اسْتَهَلَّ وَلَا شَرِبَ وَلَا أَكَلْ؟ فَقَالَ ﷺ «أَسَجْعٌ كَسَجْعِ الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ؟ » وَجَعَلَهَا عَلَى أَوْلِيَاءِ أَوْلِيَاءِ الْمَرْأَةِ

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ ordered that the punishment for the woman should be that her head be struck with the same stick she used, and that the fetus be buried. A man from the people stood up and said, "O Messenger of Allah, how should we deal with someone who did not eat, drink, scream, or express herself?" He ﷺ said, "Indeed, this fetus speaks with the words of a diviner, who predicts that it is a male or female slave."  

أُتِيَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ بِامْرَأَةٍ ضَرَبَتْ ضَرَّتَهَا بِعَمُودٍ فَقَتَلَتْهَا وَقَتَلَتْ مَا فِي بَطْنِهَا فَجَعَلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ عَقْلَهَا عَلَى عَصَبَةِ الْمَرْأَةِ وَفِي الْجَنِينِ غُرَّةٌ عَبْدٌ أَوْ أَمَةٌ فَقَامَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْقَوْمِ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ كَيْفَ نَدِي مَنْ لَا أَكَلَ وَلَا شَرِبَ وَلَا صَاحَ وَلَا اسْتَهَلَّ؟ فَقَالَ «إِنَّ هَذَا لَيَقُولُ بِقَوْلِ كَاهِنٍ فِيهِ غُرَّةُ عَبْدٍ أَوْ أَمَةٍ»
