Chapter 41 · Types of Blood-Wit (Kitab Al-Diyat)حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ التَّمَّارُ، أَنَّ عَمْرَو بْنَ طَلْحَةَ حَدَّثَهُمْ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَسْبَاطٌ، عَنْ سِمَاكٍ، عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ فِي قِصَّةِ حَمَلِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، قَالَ: فَأَسْقَطَتْ غُلَامًا قَدْ نَبَتَ شَعْرُهُ مَيِّتًا وَمَاتَتِ الْمَرْأَةُ فَقَضَى عَلَى الْعَاقِلَةِ الدِّيَةَ، فَقَالَ عَمُّهَا: إِنَّهَا قَدْ أَسْقَطَتْ يَا نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ غُلَامًا قَدْ نَبَتَ شَعْرُهُ، فَقَالَ أَبُو الْقَاتِلَةِ: إِنَّهُ كَاذِبٌ إِنَّهُ وَاللَّهِ مَا اسْتَهَلَّ وَلَا شَرِبَ وَلَا أَكَلَ فَمِثْلُهُ يُطَلُّ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: أَسَجْعَ الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ وَكَهَانَتَهَا ! أَدِّ فِي الصَّبِيِّ غُرَّةً، قَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ: كَانَ اسْمُ إِحْدَاهُمَا مُلَيْكَةَ وَالْأُخْرَى أُمَّ غُطَيْفٍ.

She aborted a child who had grown hair and was dead, and the woman also died. He (the Prophet) gave judgment that the blood-wit was to be paid by the woman's relatives on the father's side. Her uncle said: Messenger of Allah! She has aborted a child who had grown hair. The father of the woman who had slain said: He is a liar: I swear by Allah, he did not raise his voice, or drink or eat. No compensation is to be paid for an offence like this. The Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم said: is it a rhymed prose of pre-Islamic Arabia and its soothsaying? Pay a male or female slave of the best quality in compensation for the child. Ibn Abbas said: The name of one of them was Mulaikah, and the name of the other was Umm Ghutaif.
