حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، وَعَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنِ الْمِسْوَرِ بْنِ مَخْرَمَةَ، قَالَ اسْتَشَارَ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ النَّاسَ فِي إِمْلاَصِ الْمَرْأَةِ يَعْنِي سِقْطَهَا فَقَالَ الْمُغِيرَةُ بْنُ شُعْبَةَ شَهِدْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَضَى فِيهِ بِغُرَّةٍ عَبْدٍ أَوْ أَمَةٍ . فَقَالَ عُمَرُ ائْتِنِي بِمَنْ يَشْهَدُ مَعَكَ . فَشَهِدَ مَعَهُ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مَسْلَمَةَ .

Abu Bakr ibn Abi Shaybah and Ali ibn Muhammad reported to us; they said: Waki reported to us, from Hisham ibn Urwah, from his father, from al-Miswar ibn Makhramah, who said: Umar ibn al-Khattab consulted the people about a woman’s miscarriage—meaning the fetus she miscarried. Al-Mughirah ibn Shu‘bah said, ‘I witnessed the Messenger of Allah (Allah bless him and grant him peace) rule concerning it that a male or female slave be given as compensation.’ Umar said, ‘Bring me someone to testify with you.’ Muhammad ibn Maslamah testified with him.
Notes and open questions — unreviewed
The Arabic itself explains imlas as the fetus a woman miscarries.
