1 hadith
رَوَى اَلْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ عُلْوَانَ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ خَالِدٍ عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ عَنْ آبَائِهِ عَلَيْهِمُ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَنْ عَلِيٍّ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: "أَنَّهُ كَانَ يُضَمِّنُ صَاحِبَ اَلْكَلْبِ إِذَا عَقَرَ نَهَاراً وَ لاَ يُضَمِّنُهُ إِذَا عَقَرَ بِاللَّيْلِ". وَ إِذَا دَخَلْتَ دَارَ قَوْمٍ بِإِذْنِهِمْ فَعَقَرَكَ كَلْبُهُمْ فَهُمْ ضَامِنُونَ وَ إِذَا دَخَلْتَ بِغَيْرِ إِذْنِهِمْ فَلَا ضَمَانَ عَلَيْهِمْ.
Al-Husayn ibn Alwan narrated from Amr ibn Khalid, from Zayd ibn Ali, from his forefathers (peace be upon them), from Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib عليه السلام: "Imam عليه السلام used to hold the owner of a dog liable if it bit during the day, but he would not hold him liable if it bit during the night. And if you enter the house of people with their permission and their dog bites you, they are liable. However, if you enter without their permission, there is no liability upon them."
