Two women from Hudhail fought with each other and one of them hit the other with a stone that killed her and what was in her womb. The relatives of the killer and the relatives of the victim submitted their case to the Prophet ﷺ who judged that the Diya for the fetus was a male or female slave, and the Diya for the killed woman was to be paid by the 'Asaba (near relatives) of the killer.

Messenger of Allah ﷺ gave his verdict about two ladies of the Hudhail tribe who had fought each other and one of them had hit the other with a stone. The stone hit her ʿAbdomen and as she was pregnant, the blow killed the child in her womb. They both filed their case with the Prophet ﷺ and he judged that the blood money for what was in her womb. was a slave or a female slave. The guardian of the lady who was fined said, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! Shall I be fined for a creature that has neither drunk nor eaten, neither spoke nor cried? A case like that should be nullified." On that the Prophet ﷺ said, "This is one of the brothers of soothsayers.

[Machine] From his father, who had accompanied the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , it is narrated that there were two women fighting and one of them struck the other with a stick, causing her death along with the baby in her womb. The Prophet ﷺ then made a judgment regarding the woman's intellect and the fetus, whether it be a male or female, a bondman or a bondwoman, a horse or two camels, or such and such from the livestock. A man from the tribe of the killer then asked the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , "How can we be fair, O Messenger of Allah, to one who did not eat, drink, or shout, but was still killed?" The Messenger of Allah ﷺ responded, "Are you a foolish person?" and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ruled that the inheritance of the woman belongs to her husband and children, and that her intellect should be upon the liability of the killer.

Two women of Hudhail fought together and one of them threw a stone at the other and killed her. They brought their dispute to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ who gave judgement that a male or female slave of the best quality should be given as compensation for her unborn child, and he fixed it to be paid by the woman's relatives on the father's side. He made her sons and those who were with them her heirs. Hamal b. Malik b. al-Nabighah al-Hudhali said: Messenger of Allah ! how should I be fined for one who has not drunk, or eaten or spoken, or raised his voice? - adding that compensation is not to be paid for such (an offense). The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: This man simply belong to the soothsayers on account of his rhymed prose which he has used. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 4576)

Messenger of Allah ﷺ gave his verdict about two ladies of the Hudhail tribe who had fought each other and one of them had hit the other with a stone. The stone hit her ʿAbdomen and as she was pregnant, the blow killed the child in her womb. They both filed their case with the Prophet ﷺ and he judged that the blood money for what was in her womb. was a slave or a female slave. The guardian of the lady who was fined said, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! Shall I be fined for a creature that has neither drunk nor eaten, neither spoke nor cried? A case like that should be nullified." On that the Prophet ﷺ said, "This is one of the brothers of soothsayers. (Using translation from Bukhārī 5758)

[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."

[Machine] Two women from among these people fought, and one of them threw a stone at the other, hitting her abdomen and causing her death. She also miscarried a fetus. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ ruled that the blood money should be paid by the family of the woman who committed the killing, and in the fetus there was a female or male slave. Someone asked, "How can we determine the responsibility of someone who neither eats nor drinks, speaks nor makes any sound?" The Prophet ﷺ said, "Just as Abu Huraira claimed, this belongs to the brothers of jinn."

"عن أبى هريرة قال: اقتتلت امرأتان من هذيل فرمت إحداهما الأخرى بحجر فأصابت بطنها فقتلتها، فأسقطت جنينا، فقضى رسول الله ﷺ بعقلها على عاقلة القاتلة، وفى جنينها غرة عبد أو أمة، فقال قائل: كيف نعقل من لا أكل، ولا شرب، ولا نطق، ولا استهل فمثل ذلك يُطَلُّ، فقال النبى ﷺ (هذا من إخوان الكهان) " (*).
