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.
