Chapter 41 · Types of Blood-Wit (Kitab Al-Diyat)حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مَسْعُودٍ الْمِصِّيصِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَاصِمٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنِي عَمْرُو بْنُ دِينَارٍ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَطَاوُسًا، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، عَنْ عُمَرَ: أَنَّهُ سَأَلَ عَنْ قَضِيَّةِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي ذَلِكَ، فَقَامَ إِلَيِه حَمَلُ بْنُ مَالِكِ بْنِ النَّابِغَةِ، فَقَالَ: كُنْتُ بَيْنَ امْرَأَتَيْنِ فَضَرَبَتْ إِحْدَاهُمَا الْأُخْرَى بِمِسْطَحٍ فَقَتَلَتْهَا وَجَنِينَهَا، فَقَضَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي جَنِينِهَا بِغُرَّةٍ وَأَنْ تُقْتَلَ ، قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُد: قَالَ النَّضْرُ بْنُ شُمَيْلٍ: الْمِسْطَحُ هُوَ الصَّوْبَجُ، قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُد: وقَالَ أَبُو عُبَيْدٍ: الْمِسْطَحُ عُودٌ مِنْ أَعْوَادِ الْخِبَاءِ.

He asked about the decision of the Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم about that (i.e. abortion). Haml bin Malik bin al-Nabhigah got up and said: I was between two women. One of them struck another with a rolling-pin killing both her and what was in her womb. So the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم gave judgement that the bloodwit for the unborn child should be a male or a female slave of the best quality and the she should be killed. Abu Dawud said: Al-Nadr bin Shumail said: Mistah means a rolling-pin. Abu Dawud said: Abu Ubaid said: Mistah means a pole from the tent-poles.
