وَعَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ: قَضَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي الجَنينِ بغُرَّةٍ: عَبْدٍ أَوْ أَمَةٍ أَوْ فَرَسٍ أَوْ بَغْلٍ. رَوَاهُ أَبُو دَاوُدَ وَقَالَ: رَوَى هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ وَخَالِدٌ الْوَاسِطِيُّ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو وَلَمْ يَذْكُرْ: أَوْ فَرَسٍ أَوْ بغل
Muhammad ibn Amr reported from Abu Salamah, from Abu Hurayrah: The Messenger of God ruled concerning a fetus that the compensation was a male or female slave, or a horse, or a mule. Abu Dawud transmitted it and said: Hammad ibn Salamah and Khalid al-Wasiti transmitted this report from Muhammad ibn Amr without mentioning ‘or a horse or a mule.’
Translation notes
The Arabic includes a variant in which the horse and mule are omitted; the English witness adds a gloss describing the slave as of the best quality, which is not present in the Arabic passage.
