[Machine] Two women from the tribe of Hudhayl fought, and one of them threw a stone at the other, hitting her stomach and causing her death. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ decided that the killer's blood money should be paid by the family of the victim, because the fetus she carried was a slave or a servant. One person questioned, "How can we hold accountable someone who does not eat, drink, speak, or perform any actions?" The Prophet ﷺ responded, "As Abu Hurairah claims, such people are classified as the siblings of soothsayers."
اقْتَتَلَتِ امْرَأَتَانِ مِنْ هُذَيُلٍ فَرَمَتْ إِحْدَاهُمَا الْأُخْرَى بِحَجَرٍ فَأَصَابَتْ بَطْنَهَا فَقَتَلَتْهَا وَأَلْقَتْ جَنِينًا فَقَضَى رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ بِدِيَتِهَا عَلَى عَاقِلَةِ الْأُخْرَى وَفِي الْجَنِينِ غُرَّةٌ عَبْدٌ أَوْ أَمَةٌ قَالَ فَقَالَ قَائِلٌ كَيْفَ نَعْقِلُ مَنْ لَا يَأْكُلُ وَلَا يَشْرَبُ وَلَا نَطَقَ وَلَا اسْتَهَلَّ فَمِثْلُ ذَلِكَ يُطَلُّ؟ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ كَمَا زَعَمَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ هَذَا مِنْ إِخْوَانِ الْكُهَّانِ
