حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ رُمْحِ بْنِ الْمُهَاجِرِ، أَخْبَرَنَا اللَّيْثُ، عَنْ أَيُّوبَ بْنِ مُوسَى، عَنِ الأَسْوَدِ، بْنِ الْعَلاَءِ عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم أَنَّهُ قَالَ " الْبِئْرُ جَرْحُهَا جُبَارٌ وَالْمَعْدِنُ جَرْحُهُ جُبَارٌ وَالْعَجْمَاءُ جَرْحُهَا جُبَارٌ وَفِي الرِّكَازِ الْخُمْسُ " .
Abu Hurairah Narrated from:
Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying: The wound caused (by falling) in the well, in the mine, and caused bv the animal has no requital for it; and there is one-fifth (for the government) in the buried treasure.

Summary of Sahih Muslim Hadith 1710d
This hadith about liability places the well, mine, and animal in one clear legal frame. It says a wound caused by falling in a well, a wound in a mine, and a wound caused by an animal has no requital. Then it adds that one-fifth is due in buried treasure. The teaching is practical and limited to what the text says. It is not a general comment on every accident or every type of wealth. It gives a direct rule for the cases named. For people searching for khumus on rikaz or no compensation for animal injury, this narration gives the core wording in a clear order.
What we learn from this hadith
- The hadith lists well, mine, and animal wounds together.
- The ruling on buried treasure is stated separately.
- The wording teaches careful limits in claims and payments.
