عن أبي هريرة - رضي الله عنه - قال: «اقتتلت امرأتان من هذيل. فرمت إحداهما الأخرى بحجر، فقتلتها وما في بطنها فاختصموا إلى النبي - صلى الله عليه وسلم - فقضى رسول الله - صلى الله عليه وسلم -: أن دية جنينها غرة - عبد، أو وليدة - وقضى بدية المرأة على عاقلتها، وورثها ولدها ومن معهم، فقام حمل بن النابغة الهذلي، فقال: يا رسول الله، كيف أغرم من لاشرب ولا أكل، ولا نطق ولا استهل، فمثل ذلك يطل؟ فقال رسول الله - صلى الله عليه وسلم -: إنما هو من إخوان الكهان» من أجل سجعه الذي سجع.
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's 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's side, and he (the Holy Prophet) made her sons and those who were with them her heirs. Hamal b. al-Nabigha al-Hudhali 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's Messenger (ﷺ) said: He seems to be one of the brothers of soothsavers on account of the rhymed speech which he has composed.
