Sunan Ibn Majah 2673 (Book 21, Hadith 59) #32027
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.

It was narrated from Abu Hurairah that the Allah's Messenger said: "The injuries caused by the beast are without liability, and wells are without liability, and mines are without liability".
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْمُسَيَّبِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏ "‏ الْعَجْمَاءُ جَرْحُهَا جُبَارٌ وَالْمَعْدِنُ جُبَارٌ وَالْبِئْرُ جُبَارٌ

QUICK LESSONS:
Take responsibility for your own safety when dealing with animals, wells and mines

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith teaches us that no one is responsible for any injuries caused by animals, wells or mines. This means that if an animal causes injury to someone or something due to its own actions then the owner of the animal will not be held liable for it. Similarly if a person falls into a well or gets injured in a mine then they will not be able to hold anyone else responsible for their injury. This hadith also teaches us about justice and fairness as it ensures that people are not held accountable for things which are out of their control. It also encourages people to take responsibility for their own safety when dealing with animals, wells and mines as they cannot expect anyone else to be held accountable should something go wrong.
