The one driving and the one leading an animal: what is he liable for?

Khilas said that Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) used to hold liable the one walking in front, the one driving from behind, and the rider.

Shurayh, Ibrahim and al-Sha'bi, all of them said: The one walking in front, the one driving from behind, and the rider shall be held liable.

The same is narrated by al-Mughirah from Ibrahim.

Tariq narrated from al-Sha'bi; they said: The one walking in front, the one driving from behind, and the rider shall be held liable.

Isma'il bin Salim said: I heard al-Sha'bi say: When a man drives his mount gently, there is no liability upon him; and when he is harsh in driving the animals and some harm occurs, that person is liable.

Ash'ath said that al-Hasan al-Basri said: The one driving from behind and the one walking in front shall be held liable.

Khilas said that Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said: When the road is wide, there is no liability upon the one driving from behind.

Ibn Jurayj said that Ata said: The qa'id, that is, the one walking in front, shall be fined. I asked: Is the one driving from behind also to be fined for an injury caused by the animal's forefoot and hind foot? He said: They claim that he is fined for the forefoot. So I questioned him repeatedly, and he said: He will call out, "The road, the road!"

Al-Hasan bin al-Hurr said that al-Hakam said: Certainly the one driving from behind, the one walking in front, and the rider shall pay the fine when their mount causes harm with its forefoot or hind foot, kicking or striking.

Layth said that Tawus said: The one walking in front, the one driving from behind, and the rider shall be held liable when their mount harms someone with its forelegs.
