Arabic Text
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ وَابْنُ بَكْرٍ قَالَا أَنْبَأَنَا ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي عَمْرُو بْنُ دِينَارٍ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ طَاوُسًا يُخْبِرُ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ عَنْ عُمَرَ أَنَّهُ شَهِدَ قَضَاءَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي ذَلِكَ فَجَاءَ حَمَلُ بْنُ مَالِكِ بْنِ النَّابِغَةِ فَقَالَ كُنْتُ بَيْنَ امْرَأَتَيْنِ فَضَرَبَتْ إِحْدَاهُ
مَا الْأُخْرَى بِمِسْطَحٍ فَقَتَلَتْهَا وَجَنِينَهَا فَقَضَى النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي جَنِينِهَا بِغُرَّةٍ عَبْدٍ وَأَنْ تُقْتَلَ فَقُلْتُ لِعَمْرٍو أَخْبَرَنِي ابْنُ طَاوُسٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ كَذَا وَكَذَا فَقَالَ لَقَدْ شَكَّكْتَنِي قَالَ ابْنُ بَكْرٍ كَانَ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَ امْرَأَتَيَّ فَضَرَبَتْ إِحْدَاهُمَا الْأُخْرَى

English Translation
It was narrated from Ibn 'Abbas (رضي الله عنهما) — via Tawus — that 'Umar witnessed the Prophet ﷺ's (ﷺ) ruling in that matter: Hamal ibn Malik ibn al-Nabighah came and said: 'I was [living] between two wives, and one of them struck the other with a tent peg [mistah] and killed her and her fetus.' the Prophet ﷺ ruled for the fetus: a ghurra [a slave or slave-girl as compensation], and that [the killer woman] be killed. [Ibn Jurayj said: Ibn Tawus informed him from his father in such-and-such way, and 'Amr ibn Dinar said: You have cast doubt on me.] Ibn Bakr's version states: 'I was between my two wives — one struck the other.'
