It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that there was a dispute between two women of the Banu Huzail. One of them struck the other, who was pregnant, with a stone and killed her, and the child in her womb was also born dead. The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) gave the ruling in this matter that the family of the killer must pay the blood money (diyah) for the slain woman, and for her child, one "ghurra" (i.e., a male or female slave). Upon this decision, a man objected (in rhymed prose), saying, "How can the blood money for a child be decided, who neither ate nor drank, nor spoke nor cried? Such things are usually left aside." According to Hazrat Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him), the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "This man is the brother of soothsayers."
