The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “Whoever killed a Mu’ahid (a person who is granted the pledge of protection by the
Muslims) shall not smell the fragrance of Paradise though its fragrance can be smelt at a distance of
forty years (of traveling).

Anas said, “When Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) arrived at Medina, Abu Talha took hold of my hand and brought
me to Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) and said, “O Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ)! Anas is an intelligent boy, so let him serve you.”
Anas added, “So I served the Prophet (ﷺ) L at home and on journeys; by Allah, he never said to me for
anything which I did: Why have you done this like this or, for anything which I did not do: ‘Why have
you not done this like this?”

Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) said, “There is no Diya for persons killed by animals or for the one who has been
killed accidentally by falling into a well or for the one killed in a mine. And one-fifth of Rikaz
(treasures buried before the Islamic era) is to be given to the state.”

Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) gave a verdict regarding an aborted fetus of a woman from Bani Lihyan that the killer
(of the fetus) should give a male or female slave (as a Diya) but the woman who was required to give
the slave, died, so Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) gave the verdict that her inheritance be given to her children and
her husband and the Diya be paid by her ‘Asaba.

Two women from Hudhail fought with each other and one of them hit the other with a stone that
killed her and what was in her womb. The relatives of the killer and the relatives of the victim
submitted their case to the Prophet (ﷺ) who judged that the Diya for the fetus was a male or female slave,
and the Diya for the killed woman was to be paid by the ‘Asaba (near relatives) of the killer.

‘Umar asked the people, “Who heard the Prophet (ﷺ) giving his verdict
regarding abortions?” Al-Mughira said, “I heard him judging that a
male or female slave should be given (as a Diya).” ‘Umar said,
“Present a witness to testify your statement.” Muhammad bin Maslama
said, “I testify that the Prophet (ﷺ) gave such a judgment.”

‘Umar consulted the companions about the case of a woman’s abortion
(caused by somebody else). Al-Mughira said: The Prophet (ﷺ) gave the
verdict that a male or female slave should be given (as a Diya). Then
Muhammad bin Maslama testified that he had witnessed the Prophet (ﷺ)
giving such a verdict.

I heard Abu Juhaifa saying, “I asked `Ali ‘Have you got any Divine literature apart from the Qur’an?’
(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 Qur’an 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)
