15. Book of Blood Money
١٥۔ كِتَابُ الدِّيَاتِ
[Machine] "From the Prophet ﷺ, that there were two women who were under the authority of a man, and they had a disagreement. One of them struck the other with a stick and killed her, along with the fetus in her womb. They brought their dispute to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, who ruled in favor of the unborn child and made it the responsibility of the family of the woman."
عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَنَّ امْرَأَتَيْنِ كَانَتَا تَحْتَ رَجُلٍ فَتَغَايَرَتَا فَضَرَبَتْ إِحْدَاهُمَا الْأُخْرَى بِعَمُودٍ فَقَتَلَتْهَا وَمَا فِي بَطْنِهَا فَاخْتَصَمَا إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ «فَقَضَى فِيهِ غُرَّةً وَجَعَلَهَا عَلَى عَاقِلَةِ الْمَرْأَةِ»
he asked the people about the ruling of the Prophet ﷺ concerning that - concerning a fetus. Hamal bin Malik bin Nabighah stood up and said: “I was between my two wives and one of them struck the other with a tent-pole, killing her and a fetus. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ ruled that the blood money for the fetus was a slave, and that she would be killed in retaliation.” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 2641)
أَنَّ عُمَرَ نَشَدَ النَّاسَ قَضَاءَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فِي الْجَنِينِ فَقَامَ حَمَلُ بْنُ مَالِكِ بْنِ النَّابِغَةِ فَقَالَ كُنْتُ بَيْنَ امْرَأَتَيْنِ فَضَرَبَتْ إِحْدَاهُمَا الْأُخْرَى بِمِسْطَحٍ «فَقَضَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فِي جَنِينِهَا بِغُرَّةٍ وَأَنْ تُقْتَلَ بِهَا»
