Hadith text

Narrated Abu Huraira:Two ladies (had a fight) and one of them hit the other with a stone on the `Abdomen and caused her to abort. The Prophet (ﷺ) judged that the victim be given either a slave or a female slave (as blood-money). Narrated Ibn Shihab: Sa`id bin Al-Musayyab said, "Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) judged that in case of child killed in the womb of its mother, the offender should give the mother a slave or a female slave in recompense The offender said, How can I be fined for killing one who neither ate nor drank, neither spoke nor cried: a case like that should be denied ' On that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said 'He is one of the brothers of the foretellers

Abu Huraira bataate hain: Do khawaateen (jhagde mein) the, aur unmein se ek ne doosri ko patthar se uske pet par maara aur uska garbh-paat ho gaya. Nabi (SAW) ne faisla diya ke peedit ko ghulaam ya launDi (khoon-bahe ke taur par) di jaaye. Ravi Ibn Shihab bataate hain: Saeed bin Al-Musayyab ne kaha, 'Allah ke Rasool (SAW) ne faisla diya ke agar maa ke garbh mein bacha maara jaaye, to zimmedaar shaks ko maa ko badle mein ek ghulaam ya launDi deni chaahiye.' Zimmedaar ne kaha, 'Main us jaan ke liye kaise jurmaana bhar sakta hoon jisne na khaaya, na piya, na bola, na roya; aisa maamla to khaarij karna chaahiye.' Isper Allah ke Rasool (SAW) ne farmaya, 'Ye (aadmi) jyotishiyon ke bhaiyon mein se ek hai.'
