Abdur-Razzaq said that Isra'il informed them from Simak bin Harb, from An-Nu`man
bin Bashir, who reported from `Umar bin Al-Khattab that he said concerning
Allah's statement,
[وَإِذَا
الْمَوْءُودَةُ سُئِلَتْ ]
(And when the female infant buried alive is questioned.) "Qays bin `Asim came
to the Messenger of Allah and said, `O Messenger of Allah! Verily, I buried some
daughters of mine alive in the period of pre-Islamic ignorance.' The Messenger
of Allah said,
«أَعْتِقْ عَنْ كُلِّ
وَاحِدَةٍ مِنْهُنَّ رَقَبَة»
(Free a slave for each one of them.) Then Qays said, `O Messenger of Allah!
Verily, I am an owner of camels.' The Prophet said,
«فَانْحَرْ عَنْ
كُلِّ وَاحِدَةٍ مِنْهُنَّ بَدَنَة»
(Then sacrifice a camel for each one of them.)''
