Qurʾān Bukhārī Muslim Nasāʾī Abū Dāwūd Tirmidhī Ibn Mājah Mālik Aḥmad Dārimī Ḥākim Ibn Ḥibbān Ṭabarānī Nasāʾī's Kubrá Bayhaqī al-Luʾluʾ wa-al-Marjān Ibn Rajab's Fifty Riyāḍ al-Ṣāliḥīn Aḥmad's Zuhd Suyūṭī
bayhaqi:16410 – Abū ʿAlī al-Rūdhbārī > Abū Bakr b. Dāsah > Abū Dāwud > Muḥammad b. Masʿūd al-Miṣṣīṣī > Abū ʿĀṣim > Ibn Jurayj > ʿAmr b. Dīnār > Ṭāwus > Ibn ʿAbbās > ʿUmar > Saʾal

[Machine] The issue of the Prophet ﷺ in that case was that Hamal ibn Malik ibn al-Nabighah stood and said, "I was between two women, and one of them slapped the other with the palm of her hand, so she killed her and her fetus." So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ made a decision regarding her fetus and said, "It is to be compensated with a slave." And if she is killed, meaning the female killer, then there is doubt about it. 'Amr ibn Dinar doubted it, and what is preserved is that he ruled for her blood money to be paid from the intelligent killer.

he heard Tawus narrate from Ibn 'Abbas, from 'Umar, may Allah be pleased with him, that he asked about the ruling of the Messenger of Allah concerning that. Hamal bin Malik stood up and said: "I was married to two women, and one of them struck the other with a tent pole and killed her and her fetus.

'Umar asked about the decision of the Prophet ﷺ about that (i.e. abortion). Haml b. Malik b. al-Nabhigah got up and said: I was between two women. One of them struck another with a rolling-pin killing both her and what was in her womb. So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ gave judgement that the bloodwit for the unborn child should be a male or a female slave of the best quality and the she should be killed. Abu Dawud said: Al-Nadr b. Shumail said: Mistah means a rolling-pin. Abu Dawud said: Abu 'Ubaid said: Mistah means a pole from the tent-poles.

When I said this to 'Amr, Ibn Tawus informed me about his father, saying such and such.' 'Amr said, 'You have made me doubtful.'
