al-Mughirah bin Shubahh reported: A woman killed her fellow-wife with a tent-pole. Her case was brought to Allahs Messenger ﷺ , and he gave judgment that blood-wit should be paid by the relatives (of the offender) on the fathers 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 offenders relatives said: Should we make compensation for one who never ate, nor drank, nor made any noise, who was like a nonentity? Thereupon Allahs Messenger ﷺ said: He was talking rhymed phrases like the rhymed phrases of desert Arabs.
