Sahih Muslim Book - 28, Hadith - 4393

حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ الْحَنْظَلِىُّ أَخْبَرَنَا جَرِيرٌ عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ عُبَيْدِ بْنِ نُضَيْلَةَ الْخُزَاعِىِّ عَنِ الْمُغِيرَةِ بْنِ شُعْبَةَ قَالَ ضَرَبَتِ امْرَأَةٌ ضَرَّتَهَا بِعَمُودِ فُسْطَاطٍ وَهِىَ حُبْلَى فَقَتَلَتْهَا - قَالَ - وَإِحْدَاهُمَا لِحْيَانِيَّةٌ - قَالَ - فَجَعَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- دِيَةَ الْمَقْتُولَةِ عَلَى عَصَبَةِ الْقَاتِلَةِ وَغُرَّةً لِمَا فِى بَطْنِهَا. فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ عَصَبَةِ الْقَاتِلَةِ أَنَغْرَمُ دِيَةَ مَنْ لاَ أَكَلَ وَلاَ شَرِبَ وَلاَ اسْتَهَلَّ فَمِثْلُ ذَلِكَ يُطَلُّ. فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- « أَسَجْعٌ كَسَجْعِ الأَعْرَابِ ». قَالَ وَجَعَلَ عَلَيْهِمُ الدِّيَةَ.

It was narrated that Al-Mughirah bin Shu'bah said: "A woman struck pregnant co-wife with a tent pole, killing her. One of the women was from the tribe of Lihyan. The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) ruled that the Diyah for the one who had been killed was to be paid by the 'Asabah of the killer, and a slave, male or female, should be given (as Diyah) for the fetus in her womb. A man from the 'Asabah of the killer said: 'Should we pay the Diyah for one who did not eat or drink or make any sound? Such a one should be overlooked.' The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said: 'Is this rhymed speech like that of the Bedouin?"' He said: "And he (s.a.w) imposed the Diyah on them."
