Sunan an-Nasai 2495 (Book 23, Hadith 61) #17106
Liability of Injuries Caused by Animals, Wells and Mines

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) taught that no one is liable for injuries caused by animals, wells, and mines. He also mentioned the Khumus tax on Rikaz.

It was narrated from Abu Hurairah that the Prophet said: "The injuries caused by the beast are without liability, 2 and wells are without liability, and mines are without liability, and the Khumus is due on Rikaz".
أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ح وَأَخْبَرَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، قَالَ أَنْبَأَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مَعْمَرٌ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ سَعِيدٍ، وَأَبِي، سَلَمَةَ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ قَالَ ‏ "‏ الْعَجْمَاءُ جَرْحُهَا جُبَارٌ وَالْبِئْرُ جُبَارٌ وَالْمَعْدِنُ جُبَارٌ وَفِي الرِّكَازِ الْخُمْسُ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith was narrated by Abu Hurairah and it teaches us about liability in certain situations. The Prophet Muhammad said that if an animal causes injury to someone or something, no one is liable for it. Similarly, if a well or mine causes injury to someone or something, no one is liable either. Lastly, he mentioned the Khumus tax which must be paid on Rikaz which refers to hidden treasures found in the ground such as gold and silver coins. This hadith teaches us that we should not blame anyone for accidents caused by animals or natural resources like wells and mines since they are beyond our control. It also reminds us of our responsibility towards paying taxes on any hidden treasures we find in the ground according to Islamic law.
