Chapter on the Blood Money for the Nutfah (Sperm), Alaqah (Clinging Clot), Mudghah (Embryonic Lump), Bone, and Fetus

وَ فِي رِوَايَةِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ عَنْ دَاوُدَ بْنِ فَرْقَدٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: "جَاءَتِ اِمْرَأَةٌ فَاسْتَعْدَتْ عَلَى أَعْرَابِيٍّ قَدْ أَفْزَعَهَا فَأَلْقَتْ جَنِيناً فَقَالَ اَلْأَعْرَابِيُّ لَمْ يُهِلَّ وَ لَمْ يَصِحْ وَ مِثْلُهُ يُطَلُّ فَقَالَ لَهُ اَلنَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ "اُسْكُتْ سَجَّاعَةُ عَلَيْكَ غُرَّةٌ عَبْدٌ أَوْ أَمَةٌ" ".
In the narration of Muhammad ibn Abi Umayr from Muhammad ibn Abi Hamzah from Dawud ibn Farqad from Abu Abdullah عليه السلام, it is reported: 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."
