وَحَدَّثَنِى أَبُو الطَّاهِرِ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ ح وَحَدَّثَنَا حَرْمَلَةُ بْنُ يَحْيَى التُّجِيبِىُّ أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ أَخْبَرَنِى يُونُسُ عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ عَنِ ابْنِ الْمُسَيَّبِ وَأَبِى سَلَمَةَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ أَنَّ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ اقْتَتَلَتِ امْرَأَتَانِ مِنْ هُذَيْلٍ فَرَمَتْ إِحْدَاهُمَا الأُخْرَى بِحَجَرٍ فَقَتَلَتْهَا وَمَا فِى بَطْنِهَا فَاخْتَصَمُوا إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- فَقَضَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- أَنَّ دِيَةَ جَنِينِهَا غُرَّةٌ عَبْدٌ أَوْ وَلِيدَةٌ وَقَضَى بِدِيَةِ الْمَرْأَةِ عَلَى عَاقِلَتِهَا وَوَرَّثَهَا وَلَدَهَا وَمَنْ مَعَهُمْ فَقَالَ حَمَلُ بْنُ النَّابِغَةِ الْهُذَلِىُّ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ كَيْفَ أَغْرَمُ مَنْ لاَ شَرِبَ وَلاَ أَكَلَ وَلاَ نَطَقَ وَلاَ اسْتَهَلَّ فَمِثْلُ ذَلِكَ يُطَلُّ. فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- « إِنَّمَا هَذَا مِنْ إِخْوَانِ الْكُهَّانِ ». مِنْ أَجْلِ سَجْعِهِ الَّذِى سَجَعَ.

Abu Hurairah said: "Two women from Hudhail fought and one of them threw a rock at the other and killed her and the child in her womb. They referred the matter to the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w), and the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) ruled that the Diyah for her fetus was a slave, male or female, and he ruled that the Diyah for the woman be paid by her (the killer's) 'A.qilah, and that her children and those who were with her would inherit her estate. Hamal bin An-Nabighah Al-Hudhali said: 'O Messenger of Allah, how can a penalty be paid for one who did not drink or eat, or speak or make any sound (he said so rhyming the words in a poetic way)? Such a one should be overlooked.' The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said: 'This man is one of the brothers of the soothsayers,' because of the rhymed speech with which he spoke."
