2. Chapter of Alif (Male)
٢۔ بَابُ الْأَلِفِ
[Machine] A man came to the Prophet ﷺ and said, "O Messenger of Allah, I complain to you about whispers that I feel in my chest. When I am in prayer, I do not know whether to finish my prayer in a sitting position (after two units) or in a prostrating position (after one unit)." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "When you experience this, raise your right index finger and stab it in your left thigh and say, 'In the name of Allah,' for it is the weapon of the Satan."
أَنَّ رَجُلًا أَتَى النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنِّي أَشْكُو إِلَيْكَ وَسْوَسَةً أَجِدُهَا فِي صَدْرِي إِنِّي أَدْخُلُ فِي صَلَاتِي فَمَا أَدْرِي عَلَى شَفْعٍ أنْفَتِلُ أَمْ عَلَى وِتْرٍ؟ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَإِذَا وَجَدْتَ ذَلِكَ فَارْفَعْ إِصْبَعَكَ السَّبَّابَةَ الْيُمْنَى فَاطْعَنْهُ فِي فَخِذِكَ الْيُسْرَى وَقُلْ بِسْمِ اللهِ فَإِنَّهَا سِكِّينُ الشَّيْطَانِ
[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.
عَنْ أَبِيهِ وَكَانَ قَدْ صَحِبَ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ كَانَتْ فِيهَا امْرَأَتَانِ ضَرَبَتْ إِحْدَاهُمَا الْأُخْرَى بِعَمُودٍ فَقَتَلَهَا وَقَتَلَتْ مَا فِي بَطْنِهَا فَقَضَى النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فِي الْمَرْأَةِ بِالْعَقْلِ وَفِي الْجَنِينِ بِغُرَّةٍ عَبْدٍ أَوْ أَمَةٍ أَوْ بِفَرَسٍ أَوْ بَعِيرَيْنِ مِنَ الْإِبِلِ أَوْ كَذَا وَكَذَا مِنَ الْغَنَمِ فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ رَهْطِ الْقَاتِلَةِ كَيْفَ نَعْقِلُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ مَنْ لَا أَكَلَ وَلَا شَرِبَ وَلَا صَاحَ فَاسْتَهَلَّ؟ فَمِثْلُ ذَلِكَ يُطَلُّ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «أَسَجَّاعَةٌ أَنْتَ؟» وَقَضَى رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «أَنَّ مِيرَاثَ الْمَرْأَةِ لِزَوْجِهَا وَوَلَدِهَا وَأَنَّ الْعَقْلَ عَلَى عَصَبَةِ الْقَاتِلَةِ»
