Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah

Hazrat Shu’bah narrates that I asked Hazrat Hakam, “A person bought a cloth and cut it, then a defect was found in it. What should be done?” He replied, “He will return the cloth.” I then asked Hazrat Hammad the same question. He replied, “He will return the cloth and also pay compensation for cutting it.” (He will also pay a penalty for the damage caused by cutting the cloth.) Shu’bah, the narrator, says that Haithem informed me that Hazrat Hammad says that he will take compensation for the defect from him.
