Chapter 96: Holding Fast to the Qur'an and Sunnah
Narrated Al-Mughira bin Shu 'ba: 'Umar bin Al-Khattab asked (the people) about the Imlas of a woman, i. e., a woman who has an
abortion because of having been beaten on her 'Abdomen, saying, "Who among you has heard
anything about it from the Prophet?" I said, "I did.'' He said, "What is that?" I said, "I heard the
Prophet saying, "Its Diya (blood money) is either a male or a female slave.' " 'Umar said, "Do not
leave till you present witness in support of your statement." So I went out, and found Muhammad bin
Maslama. I brought him, and he bore witness with me that he had heard the Prophet (ﷺ) saying, "Its Diya
(blood money) is either a male slave or a female slave."
