Take responsibility for your actions even if you do not intend them directly. Compensate those who have been wronged even if they are no longer alive.

This hadith explains the judgement given by Prophet Muhammad ﷺ in a case of abortion of a woman from Banu Lihyan. The judgement was that both the offender and near relative should give compensation in the form of good quality slave or slave-girl. However, if this woman died due to her injury then her inheritance would go to her sons and husband while payment for blood-wit lies with family of one who struck her. This hadith teaches us about justice and fairness as it is important to compensate those who have been wronged even if they are no longer alive. It also teaches us about responsibility as it is important to take responsibility for our actions even if we do not intend them directly.
