Sahih al-Bukhari 2355 (Book 42, Hadith 5) #2254
Blood Money and Treasures

SUMMARY: The hadith explains that no blood money is to be charged if someone dies in a mine, well, or is killed by an animal. If someone finds a treasure on their land, they must give one-fifth of it to the government.

Narrated Abu Huraira: Allah's Messenger said, "No blood money will be charged if somebody dies in a mine or in a well or is killed by an animal; and if somebody finds a treasure in his land he has to give one-fifth of it to the Government".
حَدَّثَنَا مَحْمُودٌ، أَخْبَرَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ، عَنْ إِسْرَائِيلَ، عَنْ أَبِي حَصِينٍ، عَنْ أَبِي صَالِحٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏ "‏ الْمَعْدِنُ جُبَارٌ، وَالْبِئْرُ جُبَارٌ، وَالْعَجْمَاءُ جُبَارٌ، وَفِي الرِّكَازِ الْخُمُسُ
