حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مَسْعُودٍ الْمِصِّيصِيُّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَاصِمٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنِ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ أَخْبَرَنِي عَمْرُو بْنُ دِينَارٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَنَّهُ سَمِعَطَاوُسًا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ عُمَرَ:‏‏‏‏ أَنَّهُ سَأَلَ عَنْ قَضِيَّةِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي ذَلِكَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَامَ إِلَيِه حَمَلُ بْنُ مَالِكِ بْنِ النَّابِغَةِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ:‏‏‏‏ كُنْتُ بَيْنَ امْرَأَتَيْنِ فَضَرَبَتْ إِحْدَاهُمَا الْأُخْرَى بِمِسْطَحٍ فَقَتَلَتْهَا وَجَنِينَهَا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَضَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي جَنِينِهَا بِغُرَّةٍ وَأَنْ تُقْتَلَ ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُد:‏‏‏‏ قَالَ النَّضْرُ بْنُ شُمَيْلٍ:‏‏‏‏ الْمِسْطَحُ هُوَ الصَّوْبَجُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُد:‏‏‏‏ وقَالَ أَبُو عُبَيْدٍ:‏‏‏‏ الْمِسْطَحُ عُودٌ مِنْ أَعْوَادِ الْخِبَاءِ.

He asked about the decision of the Prophet صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم about that (i.e. abortion). Haml bin Malik bin al-Nabhigah got up and said: I was between two women. One of them struck another with a rolling-pin killing both her and what was in her womb. So the Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم gave judgement that the bloodwit for the unborn child should be a male or a female slave of the best quality and the she should be killed. Abu Dawud said: Al-Nadr bin Shumail said: Mistah means a rolling-pin. Abu Dawud said: Abu Ubaid said: Mistah means a pole from the tent-poles.
