The Atonement for burying Infant Girls Alive
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
(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
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 Then sacrifice a camel for each one of them.)
