Translation

From him, from Abdul Rahman Bin Abu Najran, fromo Sabbah, from a man, from Sa’ad Bin Tareyf Al Iskaaf, (It has been narrated) from Abu Ja’far^asws having said: ‘A man came over to Rasool-Allah^saww, so he said, ‘A bull of so and so killed my donkey!’ So the Prophet^saww said to him; ‘Go to Abu Bakr, so ask him’. So he went to him, so he said, ‘There is nothing upon the animals’. So he returned to the Prophet^as and informed him^saww of the words of Abu Bakr. So the Prophet^saww said to him: ‘Go to Umar, so ask him’. So he asked him, and he said similar to the words of Abu Bakr. So he returned to the Prophet^saww and informed him^saww. So the Prophet^saww said to him: ‘Go to Ali^asws, so ask him^asws’. So he asked him^asws, so Ali^asws said: ‘If the bull had entered upon your donkey in his sleeping place until it killed it, so its owner is responsible; but if it was that the donkey was the one who entered upon the bull in his sleeping place, so there is no responsibility upon its owner’. He^asws said: ‘So he returned to the Prophet^saww and informed him^saww. So the Prophet^saww said: ‘The Praise is for Allah^azwj Who Made from the People^asws of my^saww Household one who judges by the judgements of the Prophets^as’.
