A woman came forward to complain about a Bedouin who had frightened her, causing her to miscarry her fetus. The Bedouin argued: "It neither cried out nor made any sound, and something like this is simply wasted (i.e., not compensated)." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) said to him: "Be quiet!, O' rhyming speaker! Upon you is a ghurrah (compensation for a miscarried fetus) - either a male or female slave."
