Alaqama b. Wa'il reported on the authority of his father that a person was brought to the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) who had killed another person, and the heir of the person slain had dragged him (to the Holy Prophet) with a strap around his neck. As he turned away Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said: The killer and the killed are (doomed) to fire. A person came to the other person (the heir of the deceased) and he reported to him the words of the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ), and so he let him off. Isma'il b. Salim said: I made a mention of it to Habib b. Abu Thabit and he said: Ibn Ashwa' reported to me that Allah's Apostle ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) had asked him to pardon him, but he refused.

The case was brought to Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) 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 ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said: He seems to be one of the brothers of soothsavers on account of the rhymed speech which he has composed.
