حَدَّثَنَا مَحْمُودُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ حَدَّثَنَا الْفِرْيَابِيُّ عَنْ الْأَوْزَاعِيِّ عَنْ الزُّهْرِيِّ عَنْ حَرَامِ بْنِ مُحَيِّصَةَ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ عَنْ الْبَرَائِ بْنِ عَازِبٍ قَالَ کَانَتْ لَهُ نَاقَةٌ ضَارِيَةٌ فَدَخَلَتْ حَائِطًا فَأَفْسَدَتْ فِيهِ فَکُلِّمَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِيهَا فَقَضَی أَنَّ حِفْظَ الْحَوَائِطِ بِالنَّهَارِ عَلَی أَهْلِهَا وَأَنَّ حِفْظَ الْمَاشِيَةِ بِاللَّيْلِ عَلَی أَهْلِهَا وَأَنَّ عَلَی أَهْلِ الْمَاشِيَةِ مَا أَصَابَتْ مَاشِيَتُهُمْ بِاللَّيْلِ
سنن ابودوٗد · Hadith 3570
Narrated Al-Bara ibn Azib: 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 ﷺ 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.
