Hadith #40
Arabic Text
وَبِإِسْنَادِهِ قَالَ فِي الْجَنِينِ غُرَّةٌ عَبْدٌ أَوْ أَمَةٌ فَقَالَ الَّذِي قُضِيَ عَلَيْهِ أَيَعْقِلُ مَنْ لَا أَكَلَ وَلَا شَرِبَ وَلَا صَاحَ وَلَا اسْتَهَلَّ فَمِثْلُ ذَلِكَ يُطَلُّ فَقَالَ إِنَّ هَذَا الْقَوْلَ لَقَوْلُ شَاعِرٍ فِيهِ غُرَّةٌ عَبْدٌ أَوْ أَمَةٌ
English Translation
And with the same chain of narration, he ﷺ said regarding the fetus: 'A ghurrah — a male or female slave (as blood money).' The one against whom the judgment was made said: 'Should I pay blood money for one who did not eat, did not drink, did not cry, and did not make a sound at birth? Such a case should be disregarded!' He ﷺ said: 'This is the speech of a poet. In it is a ghurrah — a male or female slave.'
