al-Mughirah bin Shu'bah reported that a woman struck her co-wife with a tent-pole and she was pregnant and she killed her. One of them belonged to the tribe of Lihyan. Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) made the relatives of the murderer responsible for the payment of blood-wit on her behalf, and fixed a slave or a female slave as the indemnity for what was in her womb. One of the persons amongst the relatives of the murderer said: Should we pay indemnity for one who, neither ate, nor drank, nor made any noise, who was just like a nonentity? Thereupon Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) remarked: He speaks rhymed phrases like the people of the desert. He did impose indemnity upon them.
