حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ الْمُسْتَمِرِّ الْعُصْفُرِيُّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا حَبَّانُ بْنُ هِلَالٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا هَمَّامٌ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ أَبِي رَبَاحٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ صَفْوَانَ بْنِ يَعْلَى،‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَبِيهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ قَالَ لِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ:‏‏‏‏ إِذَا أَتَتْكَ رُسُلِي فَأَعْطِهِمْ ثَلَاثِينَ دِرْعًا وَثَلَاثِينَ بَعِيرًا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ فَقُلْتُ:‏‏‏‏ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَعَارِيَةً مَضْمُونَةٌ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَوْ عَارِيَةً مُؤَدَّاةٌ ؟، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ بَلْ مُؤَدَّاةٌ ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُد:‏‏‏‏ حَبَّانُ خَالُ هِلَالٍ الرَّأْيِ.

The Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم said to me: When my messengers come to you, give them thirty coats of mail, and thirty camels. I asked: Messenger of Allah, is it a loan with a guarantee of its return, or a loan to be paid back? He replied: It is a loan to be paid back. Abu Dawood said: Hibban is Hilal Al-Rai's maternal uncle.

— Narrated Yala bin Umayyah رضی اللہ عنہ that his father said

حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى. ح وحَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدٌ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ حُمَيْدٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَنَسٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَنّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ كَانَ عِنْدَ بَعْضِ نِسَائِهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَأَرْسَلَتْ إِحْدَى أُمَّهَاتِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ مَعَ خَادِمِهَا بِقَصْعَةٍ فِيهَا طَعَامٌ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ فَضَرَبَتْ بِيَدِهَا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَكَسَرَتِ الْقَصْعَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ ابْنُ الْمُثَنَّى:‏‏‏‏ فَأَخَذَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ الْكِسْرَتَيْنِ فَضَمَّ إِحْدَاهُمَا إِلَى الْأُخْرَى فَجَعَلَ يَجْمَعُ فِيهَا الطَّعَامَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَيَقُولُ:‏‏‏‏ غَارَتْ أُمُّكُمْ ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏زَادَ ابْنُ الْمُثَنَّى، ‏‏‏‏‏‏كُلُوا فَأَكَلُوا حَتَّى جَاءَتْ قَصْعَتُهَا الَّتِي فِي بَيْتِهَا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ثُمَّ رَجَعْنَا إِلَى لَفْظِ حَدِيثِ مُسَدَّدٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ كُلُوا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَحَبَسَ الرَّسُولَ وَالْقَصْعَةَ حَتَّى فَرَغُوا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَدَفَعَ الْقَصْعَةَ الصَّحِيحَةَ إِلَى الرَّسُولِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَحَبَسَ الْمَكْسُورَةَ فِي بَيْتِهِ.

The Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم was with one of his wives. One of the Mothers of faithful sent a bowl containing food through a servant of hers. She struck with her hand and broke the bowl. Ibn al-Muthanna's version has: The Prophet صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم took the pieces of the bowl, and joined one with the other, and began to collect the food in it, saying: Your mother is jealous. Ibn al-Muthanna added: Eat. They ate till a bowl of the one in whose house he was brought. Abu Dawud said: We then returned to the version of the tradition of Musaddad: He said: Eat. He detained the servant and the bowl till they were free. Then he returned the sound bowl to the messenger and detained the broken one (bowl) in his house.

— Anas رضی اللہ عنہ said

حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ سُفْيَانَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنِي فُلَيْتٌ الْعَامِرِيُّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ جَسْرَةَ بِنْتِ دَجَاجَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَتْ:‏‏‏‏ قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُرَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا:‏‏‏‏ مَا رَأَيْتُ صَانِعًا طَعَامًا مِثْلَ صَفِيَّةَ صَنَعَتْ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ طَعَامًا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَبَعَثَتْ بِهِ فَأَخَذَنِي أَفْكَلٌ فَكَسَرْتُ الْإِنَاءَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقُلْتُ:‏‏‏‏ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏مَا كَفَّارَةُ مَا صَنَعْتُ ؟، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ إِنَاءٌ مِثْلُ إِنَاءٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَطَعَامٌ مِثْلُ طَعَامٍ .

I saw no one cooking food like Safiyyah رضی اللہ عنہا . She cooked food for the Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم and sent it. I became angry and broke the vessel. I then asked: Messenger of Allah, what is the atonement for what I have done? He replied: A vessel like (this) vessel and food like (this) food.

— Narrated Aishah رضی اللہ عنہا , Ummul Muminin

حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ ثَابِتٍ الْمَرْوَزِيُّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَخْبَرَنَا مَعْمَرٌ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ حَرَامِ بْنِ مُحَيِّصَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَبِيهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَنَّ نَاقَةً لِلْبَرَاءِ بْنِ عَازِبٍ دَخَلَتْ حَائِطَ رَجُلٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَأَفْسَدَتْهُ عَلَيْهِمْ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ فَقَضَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَلَى أَهْلِ الْأَمْوَالِ حِفْظَهَا بِالنَّهَارِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَعَلَى أَهْلِ الْمَوَاشِي حِفْظَهَا بِاللَّيْلِ .

The she-camel of Bara bin Azib رضی اللہ عنہما entered the garden of a man and did damage to it. The Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم gave decision that the owners of properties are responsible for guarding them by day, and the owners of animals are responsible for guarding them by night.

— Narrated Muhayyisah رضی اللہ عنہ

حَدَّثَنَا مَحْمُودُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا الْفِرْيَابِيُّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنِ الَأوْزَاعِيِّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ الزُّهْرِيِّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ حَرَامِ بْنِ مُحَيِّصَةَ الَأنْصَارِيِّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنِ الْبَرَاءِ بْنِ عَازِب، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ كَانَتْ لَهُ نَاقَةٌ ضَارِبَةٌ فَدَخَلَتْ حَائِطًا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَأَفْسَدَتْ فِيهِ فَكُلِّمَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّي اللَّهُ عَلَيْه وَسَلَّمَ فِيهَا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَضَى أَنَّ حِفْظَ الْحَوَائِط بِالنَّهَارِ عَلَى أَهْلِهَا وَأَنَّ حِفْظَ الْمَاشِيَة بِاللَّيْلِ عَلَى أَهْلِهَا وَأَنَّ عَلَى أَهْلِ الْمَاشِيَة مَا أَصَابَتْ مَاشيِتهُمْ بِاللَّيْلِ.

Al-Bara had a she-camel which was accustomed to graze the standing crop belonging to the people. She entered a garden and did damage to it. The Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم was informed about it. So he gave decision that the owners of gardens are responsible for guarding them by day, and the owners of the animals are responsible for guarding them by night. Any damage done by animals during the night is a responsibility lying on their owners.
