there were two co-wives, one of whom struck the other with a tent people and killed her. The Messenger of Allah ruled that the Diyah was to be paid by the 'Asabah of the killer, and that a slave should be given (as diyah) for the child in her womb. The Bedouin Said: "Are you penalizing me for one who neither ate nor drank, or shouted or cried (at the moment of birth)? Such a one should be overlooked/" He said: "Rhyming verse like the verse of the Jahiliyyah," and he ruled that a slave should e given (as Diyah) for the child in her womb. (Using translation from Nasāʾī 4823)
أَنَّ ضَرَّتَيْنِ ضَرَبَتْ إِحْدَاهُمَا الْأُخْرَى بِعَمُودِ فُسْطَاطٍ فَقَتَلَتْهَا «فَقَضَى رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ الدِّيَةَ عَلَى عَصَبَةِ الْقَاتِلَةِ وَقَضَى لِمَا فِي بَطْنِهَا بِغُرَّةٍ» فَقَالَ الْأَعْرَابِيُّ تُغَرِّمُنِي مَنْ لَا أَكَلَ وَلَا شَرِبَ وَلَا صَاحَ فَاسْتَهَلَّ فَمِثْلُ ذَلِكَ يُطَلُّ فَقَالَ أَسَجْعٌ كَسَجْعِ الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ؟ وَقَضَى لِمَا فِي بَطْنِهَا بِغُرَّةٍ
