أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ، أنبأ أَبُو بَكْرٍ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ، أنبأ إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ قُتَيْبَةَ، ثنا يَحْيَى بْنُ يَحْيَى، أنبأ اللَّيْثُ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ، وَابْنِ الْمُسَيِّبِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ، عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنَّهُ قَالَ: " الْعَجْمَاءُ جَرْحُهَا جُبَارٌ، وَالْمَعْدِنُ جُبَارٌ، وَالْبِئْرُ جُبَارٌ، وَفِي الرِّكَازِ الْخُمُسُ " رَوَاهُ الْبُخَارِيُّ فِي الصَّحِيحِ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ يُوسُفَ، عَنِ اللَّيْثِ وَرَوَاهُ مُسْلِمٌ عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ يَحْيَى.
It is narrated from Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The wound caused by an animal carries no liability; if someone dies while extracting from a mine, his blood carries no liability; one who dies in a well also carries no liability; and in buried treasure (rikaz) is one fifth."
أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو طَاهِرٍ الْفَقِيهُ، أنبأ أَبُو طَاهِرٍ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ الْمُحَمَّدَآبَاذِيُّ، ثنا أَبُو قِلَابَةَ، ثنا عَبْدُ الصَّمَدِ، وَحَفْصُ بْنُ عُمَرَ، قَالَا: ثنا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ، يَقُولُ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " الْعَجْمَاءُ جَرْحُهَا جُبَارٌ، وَالْبِئْرُ جُبَارٌ " زَادَ حَفْصُ بْنُ عُمَرَ: " وَالْمَعْدِنُ جُبَارٌ، وَفِي الرِّكَازِ الْخُمُسُ " أَخْرَجَاهُ فِي الصَّحِيحِ مِنْ حَدِيثِ شُعْبَةَ، وَإِنَّمَا أَرَادَ بِهِ، وَاللهُ أَعْلَمُ، إِذَا حَفَرَهَا فِي مِلْكِهِ وَفِي صَحْرَاءَ أَوْ طَرِيقٍ وَاسِعَةٍ مُحْتَمَلَةٍ، فَأَمَّا إِذَا حَفَرَهَا فِي غَيْرِ هَذِهِ الْمَوَاضِعِ فَإِنَّهُ يَضْمَنُ مَا يَتْلَفُ فِيهَا رُوِّينَا عَنْ عَلِيٍّ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ، أَنَّهُ قَالَ: مَنْ بَنَى فِي غَيْرِ حَقِّهِ، أَوِ احْتَفَرَ فِي غَيْرِ مِلْكِهِ فَهُوَ ضَامِنٌ.
Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) says that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The wound caused by an animal carries no liability, and a well also carries no liability." Hafs bin Umar added: "A mine also carries no liability, and in rikaz (buried treasure) is the khumus (one fifth)." The two Shaykhs recorded it in the Sahih from Shu'bah, and what he meant by it (Allah knows best) is a well that one digs on his own property, or in the desert, or on a clearly wide open road (it carries no liability). As for when one digs it somewhere other than these places, he will be liable for the damage. It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) that whoever builds where he has no right, or digs a well on land not his own, will be liable.
أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ الْأَرْدَسْتَانِيُّ، أنبأ أَبُو نَصْرٍ الْعِرَاقِيُّ، أنبأ سُفْيَانُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الْجَوْهَرِيُّ، ثنا عَلِيُّ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ، ثنا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ، ثنا سُفْيَانُ، عَنِ الْمُغِيرَةِ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، أَنَّ بَغْلًا، وَقَعَ فِي بِئْرٍ فَانْكَسَرَ، فَاخْتَصَمُوا إِلَى شُرَيْحٍ، فَقَالَ عَمْرُو بْنُ الْحَارِثِ: يَا أَبَا أُمَيَّةَ أَعَلَى الْبِئْرِ ضَمَانٌ؟ قَالَ: لَا، وَلَكِنْ عَلَى عَمْرِو بْنِ الْحَارِثِ، فَضَمَّنَهُ، وَكَانَتِ الْبِئْرُ فِي الطَّرِيقِ فِي غَيْرِ حَقِّهِ.
Ibrahim al-Nakha'i (may Allah have mercy on him) says that a mule fell into a well. The dispute was brought to Qadi Shurayh (may Allah have mercy on him). Amr bin al-Harith said: "O Abu Umayyah, is anyone liable for a well?" He said: "No, but Amr bin al-Harith is liable, because his well was in a place to which he had no right."
وَأَمَّا الْحَدِيثُ الَّذِي أَخْبَرَنَاهُ أَبُو بَكْرٍ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ فُورَكٍ، أنبأ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ الْأَصْبَهَانِيُّ، ثنا يُونُسُ بْنُ حَبِيبٍ، ثنا أَبُو دَاوُدَ، ثنا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ، وَقَيْسُ بْنُ الرَّبِيعِ، وَأَبُو عَوَانَةَ، كُلُّهُمْ عَنْ سِمَاكِ بْنِ حَرْبٍ، عَنْ حَنَشِ بْنِ الْمُعْتَمِرِ الْكِنَانِيِّ، ⦗١٩٣⦘ قَالَ: ثنا عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ، رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ، قَالَ: لَمَّا بَعَثَنِي رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِلَى الْيَمَنِ حَفَرَ قَوْمٌ زُبْيَةً لِلْأَسَدِ، فَازْدَحَمَ النَّاسُ عَلَى الزُّبْيَةِ، وَوَقَعَ فِيهَا الْأَسَدُ، فَوَقَعَ فِيهَا رَجُلٌ، وَتَعَلَّقَ بِرَجُلٍ، وَتَعَلَّقَ الْآخَرُ بِآخَرَ، حَتَّى صَارُوا أَرْبَعَةً، فَجَرَحَهُمُ الْأَسَدُ فِيهَا فَهَلَكُوا، وَحَمَلَ الْقَوْمُ السِّلَاحَ، فَكَادَ أَنْ يَكُونَ بَيْنَهُمْ قِتَالٌ، قَالَ: فَأَتَيْتُهُمْ فَقُلْتُ: أَتَقْتُلُونَ مِائَتَيْ رَجُلٍ مِنْ أَجْلِ أَرْبَعَةِ أُنَاسٍ، تَعَالَوْا أَقْضِ بَيْنَكُمْ بِقَضَاءٍ، فَإِنْ رَضِيتُمُوهُ فَهُوَ قَضَاءٌ بَيْنَكُمْ، وَإِنْ أَبَيْتُمْ رَفَعْتُمْ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، وَهُوَ أَحَقُّ بِالْقَضَاءِ قَالَ: فَجَعَلَ لِلْأَوَّلِ رُبُعَ الدِّيَةِ، وَجَعَلَ لِلثَّانِي ثُلُثَ الدِّيَةِ، وَجَعَلَ لِلثَّالِثِ نِصْفَ الدِّيَةِ، وَجَعَلَ لِلرَّابِعِ الدِّيَةَ، وَجَعَلَ الدِّيَاتِ عَلَى مَنْ حَضَرَ الزُّبْيَةَ عَلَى الْقَبَائِلِ الْأَرْبَعَةِ، فَسَخِطَ بَعْضُهُمْ وَرَضِيَ بَعْضُهُمْ، ثُمَّ قَدِمُوا عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَصُّوا عَلَيْهِ الْقِصَّةَ، فَقَالَ: " أَنَا أَقْضِي بَيْنَكُمْ " فَقَالَ قَائِلٌ: فَإِنَّ عَلِيًّا رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ قَدْ قَضَى بَيْنَنَا، فَأَخْبَرَهُ بِمَا قَضَى عَلِيٌّ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " الْقَضَاءُ كَمَا يَقْضِي عَلِيٌّ " قَالَ هَذَا حَمَّادٌ، وَقَالَ قَيْسٌ: فَأَمْضَى رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَضَاءَ عَلِيٍّ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ.
Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) says: When the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) sent me to Yemen, some people dug a pit to trap a lion. People were standing over the pit in which the lion had been caught, and a man fell into the pit. He grabbed a second, that one grabbed a third, and that one grabbed a fourth. The lion wounded them and they died. The people drew weapons against one another to avenge their own men, and they were close to fighting. So I said to them: "Will you kill 200 men for the sake of four people? Come, I will judge between you. If you are pleased with it, accept it; otherwise go to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), for he is more entitled to judge." So I ruled a quarter of the blood money for the first, a third of the blood money for the second, half of the blood money for the third, and the full blood money for the fourth, and I placed the blood money upon the four tribes who were present there at that time. Some people accepted the ruling and some refused, and they came to him (peace and blessings be upon him). He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "I will judge." A man said that Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) had already made this judgement. When he (peace and blessings be upon him) was told, he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "What Ali has judged is correct."
فَأَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَلِيٍّ الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الرُّوذْبَارِيُّ، أنبأ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ بْنِ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ شَوْذَبٍ الْوَاسِطِيُّ، بِوَاسِطٍ، ثنا شُعَيْبُ بْنُ أَيُّوبَ، ثنا مُصْعَبُ بْنُ الْمِقْدَامِ، ثنا إِسْرَائِيلُ، عَنْ سِمَاكٍ، عَنْ حَنَشِ بْنِ الْمُعْتَمِرِ الْكِنَانِيِّ، عَنْ عَلِيٍّ، رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ، قَالَ: بَعَثَنِي رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِلَى الْيَمَنِ، فَذَكَرَ هَذِهِ الْقِصَّةَ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: قَالَ عَلِيٌّ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ: اجْمَعُوا فِي الْقَبَائِلِ الَّذِينَ حَضَرُوا رُبُعَ الدِّيَةِ، وَثُلُثَ الدِّيَةِ، وَنِصْفَ الدِّيَةِ، وَالدِّيَةَ كَامِلَةً، فَلِلْأَوَّلِ الرُّبُعُ مِنْ أَجْلِ أَنَّهُ أَهْلَكَ مَنْ يَلِيهِ، وَالثَّانِي ثُلُثُ الدِّيَةِ مِنْ أَجْلِ أَنَّهُ أَهْلَكَ مَنْ فَوْقَهُ، وَالثَّالِثُ نِصْفُ الدِّيَةِ مِنْ أَجْلِ أَنَّهُ أَهْلَكَ مَنْ فَوْقَهُ، وَالرَّابِعُ الدِّيَةُ كَامِلَةً فَزَعَمَ حَنَشٌ أَنَّ بَعْضَ الْقَوْمِ كَرِهَ ذَلِكَ، حَتَّى أَتَوَا النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: فَلَقُوهُ عِنْدَ مَقَامِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ، فَقَصُّوا عَلَيْهِ الْقِصَّةَ فَاحْتَبَى بُرْدَهُ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: " أَنَا أَقْضِي بَيْنَكُمْ " فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْقَوْمِ: إِنَّ عَلِيًّا قَضَى بَيْنَنَا، فَقَصُّوا عَلَيْهِ الْقِصَّةَ فَأَجَازَهُ فَهَذَا الْحَدِيثُ قَدْ أُرْسِلَ آخِرُهُ، وَحَنَشُ بْنُ الْمُعْتَمِرِ غَيْرُ مُحْتَجٍّ بِهِ.

Imam al-Bukhari (may Allah have mercy on him) said: Hanash bin al-Mu'tamir (and some said: Ibn Rabi'ah); they criticise his hadith.
Our companions say: Analogy (qiyas) requires that the first receive two-thirds of the blood money, one third upon the 'aqilah of the second and one third upon the 'aqilah of the third, because he died from his own act and the act of the other two; so a third of the blood money falls away because of his own act, and the remaining two-thirds are due to him. The second also receives two-thirds of the blood money, a third of it upon the 'aqilah of the first and a third upon the 'aqilah of the third. Concerning the third person there are two views: (1) half of his blood money is upon the 'aqilah of the second; (2) he too receives two-thirds of the blood money, which the 'aqilah of the first and second will pay. The fourth receives the full blood money, which the 'aqilah of the third will pay; and there is also a view that the 'aqilah of the first, second and third will all pay it. If the hadith is proven authentic, analogy will be abandoned in its favour.

أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو مُحَمَّدٍ الْحَسَنُ بْنُ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْمُؤَمَّلِ، أنبأ أَبُو عُثْمَانَ عَمْرُو بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ الْبَصْرِيُّ، ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْوَهَّابِ، أنبأ جَعْفَرُ بْنُ عَوْنٍ، أنبأ سَعِيدٌ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ خِلَاسِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو، أَنَّ رَجُلًا، اسْتَأْجَرَ أَرْبَعَةً يَحْفِرُونَ بِئْرًا، فَسَقَطَ طَائِفَةٌ مِنْهَا عَلَى رَجُلٍ فَمَاتَ، فَرُفِعَ ذَلِكَ إِلَى عَلِيٍّ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ: فَجَعَلَ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ عَلَى الثَّلَاثَةِ ثَلَاثَةَ أَرْبَاعِ الدِّيَةِ، وَرَفَعَ عَنْهُمُ الرُّبُعَ نَصِيبَ الْمَيِّتِ أَحَادِيثُ خِلَاسٍ عَنْ عَلِيٍّ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ لَا يُحْتَجُّ بِهَا لِإِرْسَالٍ فِيهَا، وَهَذَا عَلَى عَوَاقِلِهِمْ، إِنْ كَانَ سُقُوطُ طَائِفَةٍ فِيهَا بِفِعْلِهِمْ.
Khilas bin Amr (may Allah have mercy on him) says that a man hired four men to dig a well. Part of it fell upon one of the men and he died. The matter was brought to Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him), and he placed three quarters of the blood money upon the three, and waived for them the one quarter which was the share of the dead man himself.
The narrations of Khilas from Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) are not used as evidence because they are mursal (with a break in the chain). And this is upon their 'aqilahs, if the collapse of part of it was due to their own act.

أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ السُّلَمِيُّ، أنبأ أَبُو الْحَسَنِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْحَسَنِ الْكَارِزِيُّ، ثنا عَلِيُّ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ، عَنْ أَبِي عُبَيْدٍ، ثنا ابْنُ أَبِي زَائِدَةَ، عَنْ مُجَالِدِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ، عَنِ الشَّعْبِيِّ، عَنْ عَلِيٍّ، رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ، أَنَّهُ قَضَى فِي الْقَارِصَةِ وَالْقَامِصَةِ وَالْوَاقِصَةِ بِالدِّيَةِ أَثْلَاثًا قَالَ ابْنُ أَبِي زَائِدَةَ: وَتَفْسِيرُهُ أَنَّ ثَلَاثَ جَوَارٍ كُنَّ يَلْعَبْنَ فَرَكِبَتْ إِحْدَاهُنَّ صَاحِبَتَهَا، فَقَرَصَتِ الثَّالِثَةُ الْمَرْكُوبَةَ فَقَمَصَتْ، فَسَقَطَتِ الرَّاكِبَةُ فَوُقِصَتْ عُنُقُهَا، فَجَعَلَ عَلِيٌّ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ، عَلَى الْقَارِصَةِ ثُلُثَ الدِّيَةِ، وَعَلَى الْقَامِصَةِ الثُّلُثَ، وَأَسْقَطَ الثُّلُثَ، يَقُولُ: لِأَنَّهُ حِصَّةُ الرَّاكِبَةِ؛ لِأَنَّهَا أَعَانَتْ عَلَى نَفْسِهَا.
Imam al-Sha'bi (may Allah have mercy on him) narrates that Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) ruled two-thirds of the blood money concerning the one who pinched, the one who bucked, and the one who died of a broken neck. Ibn Abi Za'idah explains it in detail: three girls were playing together. One of them climbed onto another, and the third pinched the one being ridden upon; she bucked, so the one on top fell and her neck broke. So Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) ruled two-thirds of the blood money in this matter, and because the girl who died had herself contributed to it, he waived her one-third (thulth) share.
أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ السُّلَمِيُّ، وَأَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ الْحَارِثِ، قَالَا: أنبأ عَلِيُّ بْنُ عُمَرَ الْحَافِظُ، ثنا أَبُو عُبَيْدٍ الْقَاسِمُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ الْمَحَامِلِيُّ، ثنا زَيْدُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ الصَّائِغُ، ثنا زَيْدُ بْنُ الْحُبَابِ، ثنا مُوسَى بْنُ عَلِيِّ بْنِ رَبَاحٍ اللَّخْمِيُّ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ أَبِي يَقُولُ: إِنَّ أَعْمَى كَانَ يُنْشِدُ فِي الْمَوْسِمِ فِي خِلَافَةِ عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ، وَهُوَ يَقُولُ:.
Musa bin Ali bin Rabah al-Lakhmi says that he heard his father (say that) a blind man was reciting these verses in the time of Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him): "O people, I have come across something strange: will the blind man pay the blood money of the sound man? They fell together and he broke him." This was that a blind man and a sound (sighted) man came to a well and fell into it; the blind man fell on top of the sound man, and the sighted man died. So Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) ruled that the blind man pay the blood money of the sighted man.
