Bayhaqi 17685 — Liability for damage caused by animals

وَأَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو نَصْرِ بْنُ قَتَادَةَ، أنبأ أَبُو مَنْصُورٍ النَّضْرَوِيُّ، ثنا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ نَجْدَةَ، ثنا سَعِيدُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ، ثنا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ أَبِي خَالِدٍ، عَنِ الشَّعْبِيِّ، قَالَ: أُتِيَ شُرَيْحٌ بِشَاةٍ أَكَلَتْ عَجِينًا، فَقَالَ: نَهَارًا أَوْ لَيْلًا؟ قَالُوا: نَهَارًا، فَأَبْطَلَهُ وَقَرَأَ: {إِذْ نَفَشَتْ فِيهِ غَنَمُ الْقَوْمِ} [الأنبياء: ٧٨]، وَقَالَ: إِنَّمَا النَّفْشُ بِاللَّيْلِ وَفِي رِوَايَةِ قَتَادَةَ عَنِ الشَّعْبِيِّ: أَنَّ شُرَيْحًا رُفِعَتْ إِلَيْهِ شَاةٌ أَصَابَتْ غَزْلًا، فَقَالَ الشَّعْبِيُّ: أَبْصِرُوهُ، فَإِنَّهُ سَيَسْأَلُهُمْ: أَبِلَيْلٍ كَانَ أَمْ بِنَهَارٍ؟ فَسَأَلَهُمْ فَقَالَ: إِنْ كَانَ بِلَيْلٍ فَقَدْ ضَمَنْتُمْ، وَإِنْ كَانَ بِنَهَارٍ فَلَا ضَمَانَ عَلَيْكُمْ، قَالَ: وَقَالَ: النَّفْشُ بِاللَّيْلِ، وَالْهَمَلُ بِالنَّهَارِ وَرَوَى مُرَّةُ عَنْ مَسْرُوقٍ: {إِذْ نَفَشَتْ فِيهِ غَنَمُ الْقَوْمِ} [الأنبياء: ٧٨]، قَالَ: كَانَ كَرْمًا فَدَخَلَتْ فِيهِ لَيْلًا، فَمَا تَرَكَتْ فِيهِ خَضِرًا.
Al-Sha'bi (may Allah have mercy on him) says that a sheep which had eaten some dough was brought to Shurayh (may Allah have mercy on him). He asked: "By day or by night?" They said: "By day." So he declared it of no account and recited: "when the people's sheep strayed into it" [al-Anbiya: 78], and said: Nafsh (straying) is only at night.
In the narration of Qatadah from al-Sha'bi: A sheep that had damaged some spun yarn was brought to Shurayh. Al-Sha'bi said: "Watch him; he will ask them whether it was by night or by day." He asked them and said: "If it was by night, you are liable; if it was by day, there is no liability upon you." He also said: Nafsh is at night, and haml (roaming unattended) is by day.
Murrah narrated from Masruq concerning "when the people's sheep strayed into it" [al-Anbiya: 78]: It was a vineyard; they entered it at night and left nothing green in it.
