Chapter 30 · The Book of Oaths, Muharibin, Qasas (Retaliation), and Diyat (Blood Money)حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ الْحَنْظَلِيُّ، أَخْبَرَنَا جَرِيرٌ، عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ بْنِ نُضَيْلَةَ الْخُزَاعِيِّ، عَنِ الْمُغِيرَةِ بْنِ شُعْبَةَ، قَالَ: ضَرَبَتِ امْرَأَةٌ ضَرَّتَهَا بِعَمُودِ فُسْطَاطٍ وَهِيَ حُبْلَى، فَقَتَلَتْهَا، قَالَ: وَإِحْدَاهُمَا لِحْيَانِيَّةٌ، قَالَ: فَجَعَلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ دِيَةَ الْمَقْتُولَةِ عَلَى عَصَبَةِ الْقَاتِلَةِ، وَغُرَّةً لِمَا فِي بَطْنِهَا، فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ عَصَبَةِ الْقَاتِلَةِ: أَنَغْرَمُ دِيَةَ مَنْ لَا أَكَلَ، وَلَا شَرِبَ، وَلَا اسْتَهَلَّ، فَمِثْلُ ذَلِكَ يُطَلُّ؟ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «أَسَجْعٌ كَسَجْعِ الْأَعْرَابِ؟» قَالَ: وَجَعَلَ عَلَيْهِمُ الدِّيَةَ.

A woman struck her co-wife with a tent-pole and she was pregnant and she killed her. One of them belonged to the tribe of Lihyan. Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) made the relatives of the murderer responsible for the payment of blood-wit on her behalf, and fixed a slave or a female slave as the indemnity for what was in her womb. One of the persons amongst the relatives of the murderer said: Should we pay indemnity for one who, neither ate, nor drank, nor made any noise, who was just like a nonentity? Thereupon Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) remarked: He speaks rhymed phrases like the people of the desert. He did impose indemnity upon them.
