Sunan Abi Dawud 4592 (Book 41, Hadith 99) #24883
Animals and Responsibility

SUMMARY: An animal should not be held responsible if it kicks someone while they are riding on it.

Narrated Abu Hurayrah: The Prophet said: No recompense is to be demanded if one is kicked by an animal. Abu Dawud said: An animal kicks someone with its leg while one is riding on it.
حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَزِيدَ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ حُسَيْنٍ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْمُسَيَّبِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ قَالَ ‏ "‏ الرِّجْلُ جُبَارٌ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ الدَّابَّةُ تَضْرِبُ بِرِجْلِهَا وَهُوَ رَاكِبٌ
