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. (Using translation from Muslim 1682a)
ضَرَبَتِ امْرَأَةٌ ضَرَّتَهَا فَضَرَبَتْهَا بِعَمُودِ فُسْطَاطٍ فَقَتَلَتْهَا وَذَا بَطْنِهَا فَجَعَلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ دِيَةَ الْمَقْتُولَةِ عَلَى عَصَبَةِ الْقَاتِلَةِ وَغُرَّةً لِمَا فِي بَطْنِهَا فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ عَصَبَةِ الْقَاتِلَةِ أَنَغْرَمُ بِدِيَةِ مَنْ لَا أَكَلَ وَلَا شَرِبَ وَلَا صَاحَ فَاسْتَهَلَّ فَمِثْلُ ذَلِكَ يُطَلُّ؟ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ سَجْعٌ كَسَجْعِ الْأَعْرَابِ وَجَعَلَ عَلَيْهِمُ الدِّيَةَ
