وَقَالَ الْحَارِثُ: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَهَّابِ، ثَنَا سَعِيدٌ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي الْمَلِيحِ قَالَ:
إِنَّ حَمَلَ بْنَ النَّابِغَةِ كَانَتْ لَهُ امْرَأَتَانِ: مُلَيْكَةُ وَأُمُّ عَفِيفٍ، فَقَذَفَتْ إِحْدَاهُمَا الْأُخْرَى بِحَجَرٍ فَأَصَابَتْ فِي قَلْبِهَا، فَأَلْقَتْ جَنِينًا مَيِّتًا، فَرُفِعَ ذَلِكَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَضَى أَنَّ الدِّيَةَ عَلَى قَوْمِ الْعَاقِلَةِ الْقَاتِلَةِ، وَفِي الْجَنِينِ غُرَّةٌ: عَبْدٌ أَوْ أَمَةٌ، أَوْ عَشْرٌ مِنَ الْإِبِلِ، أَوْ مِائَةُ شَاةٍ. قَالَ وَلِيُّهَا - أَوْ أَبُوهَا -: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، مَا أَكَلَ وَلَا شَرِبَ، وَلَا صَاحَ فَاسْتَهَلَّ، فَمِثْلُ ذَلِكَ بَطَلَ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: لَسْنَا مِنْ أَسَاجِيعِ الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ فِي شَيْءٍ

✧ Hamal b. al-Nabighah had two wives: Mulaykah and Umm 'Afif. One of them threw a stone at the other and struck her in the heart, and she miscarried a dead fetus. That was brought to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and he ruled that the diyah is upon the people of the 'aqilah of the killer, and for the fetus a ghurrah: a male or female slave, or ten camels, or one hundred sheep. Her guardian - or her father - said: O Messenger of Allah, it did not eat, nor drink, nor cry out at birth, so such a thing is void. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: We have nothing to do with the rhymed prose of Jahiliyyah.
