Abu Huraira reported that two women of the tribe of Hudhail fought with each other and one of them flung a stone at the other; killing her and what was in her womb. The case was brought to Allah Messenger ﷺ and he gave judgment that the diyat indemnity of her unborn child is a male or a female slave of the best quality; and he also decided that the diyat of the woman is to be paid by her relative on the father side; and he the Holy Prophet made her sons and those who were with them her heirs. Hamal Bin AlNabigha AlHudhali said: Messenger of Allah; why should I play blood-wit for one who neither drank; nor ate; nor spoke; nor made any noise; it is like a nonentity it is; therefore; not justifiable to demand blood-wit for it. Thereupon Allah Messenger ﷺ said: He seems to be one of the brothers of soothsavers on account of the rhymed speech which he has composed.
