Hazrat Tawus says that two co-wives fought with each other, and one struck the other causing her to miscarry, so the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, ruled in this matter for a slave, or a female slave, or a horse.

Hazrat Abu Al-Hasan, who was a freed slave of Banu Naufal, narrates that both my wife and I were slaves. I gave my wife two divorces. After giving the divorces, both of us were set free. Then I intended to reconcile with my wife, and regarding this reconciliation, I went to Hazrat Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them) to seek a fatwa. He said: If you reconcile with her, you will have the right to one divorce, and the right to two divorces has ended, because the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) made a decision in this manner.

Hazrat Kulayb says that I came to Hazrat Umar during the time of Hajj, so I called out to him from behind the tent, "Beware! I am so-and-so, son of so-and-so, a resident of the tribe of Jarmi, and indeed our nephew is in the captivity of such-and-such tribe, and we have presented before them the decision of the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, but they have refused to accept it." Kulayb says: Hazrat Umar lifted one side of the tent and then said: "Do you recognize your companion?" So Kulayb said: "Yes! He is right in front." Then Umar said: "Both of you go to him until the decision of the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, is enforced for you." Kulayb says: We were saying that the decision was of four camels.

31044 - He said: And we used to discuss that the compensation was four camels (1).

Hazrat Sha’bi says that a woman struck another woman with such force that she killed her, and the deceased woman gave birth to a stillborn child. Sha’bi says: The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) placed the burden of blood money on the family of the woman who committed the killing, and did not place any part of the blood money on the son or husband of the killer woman. The decision of the blood money was made in favor of the husband and son of the murdered woman, and none of the murdered woman’s paternal relatives were given any share from this blood money.

Imam Abu Ja'far Muhammad bin Ali (may Allah be pleased with him), Sa'id bin al-Musayyib, and Hazrat Mujahid—all these personalities state that the two wives of Haml bin Malik bin al-Nabighah became jealous of each other. So one of them picked up a tent pole and struck the other with such force that the second woman gave birth to a stillborn child and herself also died. This matter was presented before the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), so the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) decided that the blood money would be borne by the family of the woman who committed the killing. And for the blood money of the stillborn child, he decided upon a slave or a slave-girl. Then the father or uncle of the woman who committed the killing said: "Shall we pay blood money for one who neither ate nor drank, neither cried nor made a sound, and whose blood is thus wasted?" The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) replied: "This person is a poet and speaks like a poet. Yes! The blood money for the stillborn child will be a slave or a slave-girl."

31047 - From Az-Zuhri, from Sa'id ibn Al-Musayyib (1).

31048 - From Aban ibn Salih, from Mujahid (they said): Two women became jealous of each other over Haml ibn Malik ibn al-Nabigha, so one of them attacked the other with a tent pole and struck her, causing her to miscarry and she died. This was brought to the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم , and he ruled that her blood money be paid by the killer’s ‘aqilah, and he ruled for the fetus a compensation of a slave, male or female. The father or uncle of the killer said:“Should compensation be paid for one who neither ate nor drank, nor cried out, nor made a sound? Such a one is to be neglected!”The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم said:“He is saying the words of a poet. Yes, for him is a compensation of a slave, male or female.”

Hazrat Abu Ja'far says that indeed the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, gave a verdict by taking an oath from the claimant along with one witness. Then Abu Ja'far said: Hazrat Ali, may Allah be pleased with him, also gave a verdict among you in the same manner.

31050 - Abu Ja'far said: And Ali judged with it among you (1).
