حَدَّثَنَا جَعْفَرُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الْخَارَكِيُّ الْبَصْرِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا هُدْبَةُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ الْجَعْدِ ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سِيرِينَ ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، قَالَ : "الْعَجْمَاءُ جُبَارٌ وَقَضَى فِي الرِّكَازِ الْخُمُسَ "، لَمْ يَرْوِهِ عَنْ قَتَادَةَ ، إِلا حَمَّادُ بْنُ الْجَعْدِ ، وَأَبُو مَرْيَمَ عَبْدُ الْغَفَّارِ بْنُ الْقَاسِمِ الأَنْصَارِيُّ . تَفَرَّدَ بِهِ عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ الْجَعْدِيِّ هُدْبَةُ ، وَتَفَرَّدَ بِهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي مَرْيَمَ إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو الْبَجَلِيُّ
Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) reports that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The loss of the dumb animals is without liability, and a fifth is decreed in the case of buried treasure (rikaz)."

Benefit:
In this hadith, it is stated that any harm caused by an animal's attack, or by someone falling into a mine or a well, the penalty (compensation) and blood money (diyah) will not be upon the owner of the animal, mine, or well. This is because the owner had employed the worker for the purpose of work, not with the intention of causing him harm. Furthermore, this hadith contains the ruling that upon finding a buried treasure, one-fifth of it must be given as zakat. For details, see (Fath al-Bari: 3/365).
