أَخْبَرَنَا ) عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ يَحْيَى بْنِ عَبْدِ الْجَبَّارِ السُّكَّرِيُّ بِبَغْدَادَ، أَنْبَأَ إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الصَّفَّارُ، ثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ الرَّمَادِيُّ، ثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، أَنْبَأَ مَعْمَرٌ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ؓ قَالَ:
اقْتَتَلَتِ امْرَأَتَانِ مِنْ هُذَيْلٍ فَرَمَتْ إِحْدَاهُمَا الْأُخْرَى بِحَجَرٍ فَأَصَابَتْ بَطْنَهَا، فَقَتَلَتْهَا، وَأَلْقَتْ جَنِينًا فَقَضَى رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ بِدِيَتِهَا عَلَى عَاقِلَةِ الْأُخْرَى، وَفِي الْجَنِينِ غُرَّةٌ عَبْدٌ أَوْ أَمَةٌ قَالَ: فَقَالَ قَائِلٌ: كَيْفَ نَعْقِلُ مَنْ لَا يَأْكُلُ وَلَا يَشْرَبُ وَلَا نَطَقَ وَلَا اسْتَهَلَّ فَمِثْلُ ذَلِكَ يُطَلُّ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ كَمَا زَعَمَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ: هَذَا مِنْ إِخْوَانِ الْكُهَّانِ

Two women of Hudhayl fought each other, and one of them threw a stone at the other, which struck her belly and killed her, and she miscarried a fetus. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ ruled that the blood money for her was to be paid by the 'āqilah (paternal kinsmen) of the other woman, and that for the fetus there was a ghurrah: a male or female slave. He said: Then someone said: "How can we pay blood money for one who neither ate nor drank, nor spoke nor cried out at birth? Such a case is to be nullified." So the Prophet ﷺ said, as Abū Hurayrah claimed: "This one is from the brothers of the soothsayers."
