Mishkat al-MasabihHadith Number 3510
عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «الْعَجْمَاءُ جَرْحُهَا جُبَارٌ وَالْمَعْدِنُ جُبَارٌ وَالْبِئْرُ جُبَارٌ»
Abu Hurairah Narrated from:
No retaliation is payable for a wound caused by a dumb animal, for a mine, or for a well.”* (Bukhari and Muslim.) * A longer form is given on p. 380. The reference is said to be an animal which is not at the time under anyone's charge. No responsibility attaches to anyone who has dug a mine or a well in a place where he is entitled to do so if someone falls in.
[1] Both 'a's are prolonged in the plural and only the first in the singular[2] Bukhari # 6913, Muslim # 45-1710, Tirmidhi # 1377, Abu Dawud # 4593, Nasai # 2496, Ibn Majah # 2673, Darimi # 1668, Muwalto Maalik # 12 (Ugul), Musnad Ahmad # 2-728.[3] Hidayah (English translation) v2 pp 619-620. The Urdu text (of Mazahir Haq) has that the rider is responsible for its hind legs also. (Dar ul-Isha'at Karachi.)[1] The word in the hadith is (جبار) Jubar. According to the LEXICON of Lanes (vz p 374) it mean: 'a thing of which no account, or for which no retaliation is taken.'Reference : Mishkat al-Masabih 3510In-book reference : Book 16, Hadith 57
