Bayhaqi 11671 — The hirer is not liable for what he hires unless

رُوِّينَا عَنْ شُرَيْحٍ أَنَّهُ قَالَ: لَيْسَ عَلَى مُسْتَكْرٍ ضَمَانٌ، فَإِنْ تَعَدَّى فَجَاوَزَ عَلَيْهَا الْوَقْتَ فَعَطِبَتْ، قَالَ شُرَيْحٌ: يَجْتَمِعُ عَلَيْهِ الْكِرَاءُ وَالضَّمَانُ.
We have narrated from Qadi Shurayh (may Allah have mercy on him) that he said: "There is no liability (compensation) on one who hires (an animal)."
Then if he transgresses and exceeds the agreed time, and it (the animal) perishes, Shurayh (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "Both the rent and the liability (compensation) will be combined upon him."
أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو سَعِيدِ بْنُ أَبِي عَمْرٍو، ثنا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ الْأَصَمُّ، ثنا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْحَمِيدِ الْحَارِثِيُّ، ثنا أَبُو أُسَامَةَ، عَنِ الْوَلِيدِ بْنِ كَثِيرٍ، حَدَّثَنِي نَافِعٌ، عَنْ سَالِمِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، أَنَّ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ قَالَ: " أَيُّمَا رَجُلٍ أَكْرَى كِرَاءً فَجَاوَزَ صَاحِبَهُ ذَا الْحُلَيْفَةِ فَقَدْ وَجَبَ كِرَاؤُهُ، وَلَا ضَمَانَ عَلَيْهِ " يُرِيدُ وَاللهُ أَعْلَمُ إِذَا قَبَضَ الْمُكْتَرِي مَا اكْتَرَى وَجَاوَزَ ذَا الْحُلَيْفَةِ فَقَدْ وَجَبَ عَلَيْهِ جَمِيعُ الْكِرَاءِ إِذَا لَمْ يَكُنْ شَرَطَ فِي الْأُجْرَةِ أَجَلًا، وَلَا ضَمَانَ عَلَيْهِ إِذَا لَمْ يَتَعَدَّ.
It is reported from Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) that whoever rents something out, and his counterpart goes beyond Dhul-Hulayfah, the rent becomes due and there is no liability on him.
What is meant, and Allah knows best, is that when the renter takes possession of what he rented and goes beyond Dhul-Hulayfah, the full rent becomes due from him, provided no deferred term was stipulated for the wage; and there is no liability on him as long as he does not transgress.
