Hadith record

A number of our companions, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Khalid, from Abu Al Khazzaz, from Mos’ab Bin Sallam Al Tameemi, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah asws , from his asws father asws : ‘A bull killed a donkey during the era of the Prophet saww , so that (matter) was raised to him saww , and he asws was among the people from his companions, among whom were Abu Bakr, and Umar. So he saww said: ‘O Abu Bakr! Judge between the two’. So he said, ‘O Rasool-Allah saww ! An animal has killed an animal, there is nothing upon it’. So he saww said: ‘O Umar! Judge between the two’. So he spoke similar to the words of Abu Bakr’. So he saww said: ‘O Ali asws ! Judge between the two’. So he asws said: ‘Yes, O Rasool-Allah saww ! If the bull entered upon the donkey in its resting place, the owner of the bull is responsible; and if it was the donkey which had entered upon the bull in its resting place, so there is no one responsible upon the two’. He (the narrator) said, ‘So Rasool-Allah saww raised his saww hands towards the sky, so he saww said: ‘The Praise is for Allah azwj Whom Made from me saww , one who judges by the judgements of the Prophets as ’.
