1013 – From Anas ibn Mālik (may Allah be pleased with him): “A slave-girl was found with her head crushed between two stones. They asked her, ‘Who did this to you? Was it so-and-so? so-and-so?’ When they mentioned a certain Jew, she nodded her head. The Jew was apprehended and he confessed, so the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ordered that his head be crushed between two stones.” Agreed upon; the wording is that of Muslim.⦗1⦘

Glossary of the ḥadīth:
– jāriyah: a female slave, whether young or old. In this incident she was a girl from the Anṣār, as stated explicitly in the narration of Abū Dāwūd.
– ruḍḍa raʾsuhā (“her head was crushed”): with ḍammah on the rāʾ and a doubled ḍād. One says raḍaḍtu al-shayʾ raḍḍan, “I crushed something,” so it becomes raḍīḍ or marḍūḍ. Ibn al-Athīr explains: “al-raḍḍ is pounding, i.e. her head was pounded between two stones.”
– fulān? fulān?: the interrogative hamzah is omitted. Fulān/fulānah without the definite article al- are stand-ins for human beings; with al- they stand for animals, as in, “I rode al-fulān,” or “I milked al-fulānah.”
– awmaʾat bi-raʾsihā (“she signalled with her head”): she indicated with her head when her killer’s name was mentioned because she was unable to speak.
– fa-awmaʾat: one says awmaʾtu ilayh, not awmaytu; the verb begins with a weak letter and ends with a hamzah.
