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.

al-Mughirah bin Shu'bahh reported: A woman killed her fellow-wife with a tent-pole. Her case was brought to Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) , and he gave judgment that blood-wit should be paid by the relatives (of the offender) on the father's side. And as she was pregnant, he decided regarding her unborn child that a male or a female slave of good quality be given. Some of her offender's relatives said: Should we make compensation for one who never ate, nor drank, nor made any noise, who was like a nonentity? Thereupon Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said: He was talking rhymed phrases like the rhymed phrases of desert Arabs.
