Two women from the tribe of Hudhail (fought with each other) and one of them threw (a stone at) the
other, causing her to have a miscarriage and Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) gave his verdict that the killer (of the
fetus) should give a male or female slave (as a Diya).

I heard Abu Juhaifa saying, "I asked `Ali 'Have you got any Divine literature apart from the Quran?'
(Once he said...apart from what the people have?) `Ali replied, 'By Him Who made the grain split
(germinate) and created the soul, we have nothing except what is in the Quran and the ability (gift) of
understanding Allah's Book which He may endow a man with and we have what is written in this
paper.' I asked, 'What is written in this paper?' He replied, 'Al-`Aql (the regulation of Diya), about the
ransom of captives, and the Judgment that a Muslim should not be killed in Qisas (equality in
punishment) for killing a disbeliever." (See Hadith No. 283,Vol. 4)
