Hadith record

Salih Bin Uqba, from Yunus Al Shaybani who said, ‘I said to Abu Abdullah asws , ‘Suppose a drop of blood comes out in the seed?’ He asws said: ‘The drop is a tenth of the seed, regarding it is twenty two Dinars’. I said, ‘So if the drop are two drops?’ He asws said: ‘Twenty four Dinars’. I said, ‘So if there are three drops?’ He asws said: ‘Twenty-six Dinars’. I said, ‘So, four?’ He asws said: ‘Twenty-eight Dinars; and regarding five is thirty Dinars; and whatever increases upon the half. So it would be based upon the accounting of that until it becomes a clot. So when it becomes a clot, so with regards to it is forty (Dinars)’. So Abu Shibl asked him asws , and Abu Shibl informed us saying, ‘Yunus was present and Abu Abdullah asws informed him with the wergilds. I said, ‘So if the seed comes out submerged in the blood?’ So he asws said to me: ‘So it has clotted, if it was clear blood. Therefore with regards to it is forty Dinars; and if it was black blood, so there is nothing upon it except for the reprimanding, because whatever was from clear blood, so that is for the child, and whatever was from the black blood, so that is from the inside’. Abu Shibl said, ‘So if the clot is such that there happen to be in it resembling the veins from the flesh?’ He asws said: ‘Forty-two and the one-tenth’. I said, ‘So if the tenth is forty-four?’ So he asws said: ‘No! But rather, it is a tenth of the lump, because its one-tenth has gone. So whatever is increased, it increased until it reaches the sixty’. I said, ‘So what is your asws view regarding the lump with nodes resembling the dry bones?’ He asws said: ‘So that is the bone. It is like that in the beginning, what is the beginning of (the formation of) the bones, by five months. Therefore, with regards to it is forty Dinars. So if it is additional, so it increases by four, four, until it is completed at eighty’. I said, ‘And similar to that when the bones attain flesh?’ He asws said: ‘It is like that’. I said, ‘So when she is punched (in the belly) and the child is dropped, and it is not known whether it was alive, or not?’ He asws said: ‘Far be it! O Abu Shibl, when five months elapse, so the life has come into it, and the wergild is Obligated’.
