وَ رَوَى اَلْحَسَنُ بْنُ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنِ اَلْحَسَنِ بْنِ صَالِحٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ رَجُلٍ أَصَابَ دَابَّةً قَدْ سُرِقَتْ مِنْ جَارٍ لَهُ فَأَخَذَهَا لِيَأْتِيَهُ بِهَا فَنَفَقَتْ قَالَ "لَيْسَ عَلَيْهِ شَيْءٌ".
Al-Hasan ibn Mahbub narrated from Al-Hasan ibn Salih, from Abu Abdullah عليه السلام. He said: I asked him about a man who found a stolen animal that belonged to his neighbor, so he took it to return it to him, but the animal died. Imam عليه السلام said: "There is nothing (no liability) upon him."
