سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) عَنِ الْبَقَرِ وَ الْغَنَمِ وَ الْإِبِلِ يَكُونُ فِي الرَّعْيِ فَتُفْسِدُ شَيْئاً هَلْ عَلَيْهَا ضَمَانٌ فَقَالَ إِنْ أَفْسَدَتْ نَهَاراً فَلَيْسَ عَلَيْهَا ضَمَانٌ مِنْ أَجْلِ أَنَّ أَصْحَابَهُ يَحْفَظُونَهُ وَ إِنْ أَفْسَدَتْ لَيْلًا فَإِنَّ عَلَيْهَا ضَمَانٌ .
Translation
Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Muammad Bin Al Husayn, from Yazeed Bin Is’haq Shair, from Haroun Bin Hamza who said, ‘I asked Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> about the cow and the sheep and the camel who happen to be in the pasture, so it spoils something. Is there any responsibility upon it?’ So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘If it spoils during the day, so there is no responsibility upon it (the Shepherd) due to the reason that its (pasture’s) owner should have protected it; and if it spoils at night, so upon it is the responsibility (of the animal owner)’.
