Hadith #409
Arabic Text
حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ قَالَ مَنْصُورٌ أَخْبَرَنِي قَالَ سَمِعْتُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ عُبَيْدِ بْنِ نُضَيْلَةَ عَنِ الْمُغِيرَةِ بْنِ شُعْبَةَ أَنَّ امْرَأَتَيْنِ كَانَتَا تَحْتَ رَجُلٍ فَغَارَتَا فَضَرَبَتْهَا بِعَمُودِ فُسْطَاطٍ فَقَتَلَتْهَا فَاخْتَصَمُوا إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ
وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ أَحَدُهُمَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ كَيْفَ نَدِي مَنْ لَا أَكَلَ وَلَا شَرِبَ وَلَا صَاحَ فَاسْتَهَلَّ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَسَجْعٌ كَسَجْعِ الْأَعْرَابِ قَالَ فَقَضَى فِيهِ غُرَّةً قَالَ وَجَعَلَهُ عَلَى عَاقِلَةِ الْمَرْأَةِ

English Translation
ʿAffān narrated to us, Shuʿbah narrated to us, Manṣūr informed me, he said: I heard Ibrāhīm narrating from ʿUbayd ibn Nuḍaylah, from al-Mughīrah ibn Shuʿbah رضي الله عنه: Two women were married to a man, and one became jealous and struck the other with a tent pole, killing her. They brought their dispute to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. One of them said: 'O Messenger of Allah, how can we pay blood money for one who neither ate, nor drank, nor cried out, nor raised his voice?' the Prophet ﷺ said: 'Rhymed prose like the rhymed prose of the Bedouins.' He ruled a ghurrah for the fetus, and placed it upon the killer's female relatives.
