Narrator:Al-Miswar ibn Makhrama

حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، وَهَارُونُ بْنُ عَبَّادٍ الأَزْدِيُّ، - الْمَعْنَى - قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، عَنْ هِشَامٍ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ، عَنِ الْمِسْوَرِ بْنِ مَخْرَمَةَ، أَنَّ عُمَرَ، اسْتَشَارَ النَّاسَ فِي إِمْلاَصِ الْمَرْأَةِ فَقَالَ الْمُغِيرَةُ بْنُ شُعْبَةَ

شَهِدْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَضَى فِيهَا بِغُرَّةٍ عَبْدٍ أَوْ أَمَةٍ ‏.‏ فَقَالَ ائْتِنِي بِمَنْ يَشْهَدُ مَعَكَ ‏.‏ فَأَتَاهُ بِمُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مَسْلَمَةَ - زَادَ هَارُونُ - فَشَهِدَ لَهُ يَعْنِي ضَرَبَ الرَّجُلُ بَطْنَ امْرَأَتِهِ ‏.‏

Narrated Al-Miswar b. Makhramah:

'Umar consulted the people about the compensation of abortion of woman. Al-Mughirah b. Shu'bah said: I was present with the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) when he gave judgement that a male or female slave should testify you. So he brought Muhammad b. Maslamah to him. Harun added: He then testified him.

Imlas means a man striking the belly of his wife.

Abu Dawud said: I have been informed that Abu 'Ubaid said: It (abortion) is called imlas because the woman causes it to slip before the time of delivery. Similarly, anything which slips from the hand or from some other thing is called malasa (slipped).

Reported by Abu Dawud (No. 4570).

( اِسْتَشَارَ النَّاس فِي إِمْلَاص الْمَرْأَة ) : أَيْ إِسْقَاطهَا الْوَلَد. قَالَ النَّوَوِيّ : أُمْلِصَتْ الْمَرْأَة بِالْوَلَدِ إِذَا وَضَعَتْهُ قَبْل أَوَانه وَكُلّ مَا زُلِقَ مِنْ الْيَد فَقَدْ مَلِصَ بِفَتْحِ الْمِيم وَكَسْر اللَّام وَأَمْلَصَ أَيْضًا لُغَتَانِ ( قَضَى فِيهَا ) : أَيْ فِي إِمْلَاص الْمَرْأَة ( بِغُرَّةِ عَبْد أَوْ أَمَة ) : قَالَ النَّوَوِيّ : الرِّوَايَة فِيهِ غُرَّة بِالتَّنْوِينِ وَمَا بَعْده بَدَل مِنْهُ وَرَوَاهُ بَعْضهمْ بِالْإِضَافَةِ وَالْأَوَّل أَوْجَه , وَأَوْ فِي قَوْله أَوْ أَمَة لِلتَّقْسِيمِ لَا لِلشَّكِّ ( يَعْنِي ضَرْب الرَّجُل بَطْن اِمْرَأَته ) : هَذَا تَفْسِير الْإِمْلَاص مِنْ أَحَد الرُّوَاة وَوَقَعَ تَفْسِيره فِي الِاعْتِصَام مِنْ الْبُخَارِيّ رَحِ…
