وَقَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ: حَدَّثَنَا يُونُسُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، ثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَاحِدِ بْنُ زِيَادٍ، ثَنَا مُجَالِدٌ، ثَنَا الشَّعْبِيُّ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ ؓ قَالَ:
إِنَّ امْرَأَتَيْنِ مِنْ هُذَيْلٍ قَتَلَتْ إِحْدَاهُمَا الْأُخْرَى. فَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ، قَالَ: وَكَانَتْ حُبْلَى فَقَالَ عَاقِلَةُ الْمَقْتُولَةِ: إِنَّهَا كَانَتْ حُبْلَى وَأَلْقَتْ جَنِينًا، فَخَافَ عَاقِلَةُ الْقَاتِلَةِ أَنْ يُضَمِّنَهُمْ: فَقَالُوا: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، لَا شَرِبَ وَلَا أَكَلَ، وَلَا صَاحَ فَاسْتَهَلَّ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: هَذَا سَجْعُ الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ. فَقَضَى فِي الْجَنِينِ بِغُرَّةٍ عَبْدٍ أَوْ أَمَةٍ

✧ Two women from Hudhayl, one of them killed the other. He mentioned the hadith, and said: She was pregnant. The 'aqilah (male relatives) of the killed woman said: She was pregnant and miscarried a fetus. The 'aqilah of the killer feared that they would be made liable, so they said: O Messenger of Allah, it did not drink, nor eat, nor cry out at birth (istahalla). The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: This is the rhymed prose of Jahiliyyah. He ruled for the fetus a ghurrah: a male or female slave.
