Chapter on Reports Regarding One Who Digs a Well or Something Else in His Own Property or in Another's Property, and a Person Falls Into it and Perishes
وَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اَللَّهِ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ: "مَنْ أَخْرَجَ مِيزَاباً أَوْ كَنِيفاً أَوْ وَتَدَ وَتِداً أَوْ أَوْثَقَ دَابَّةً أَوْ حَفَرَ بِئْراً فِي طَرِيقِ اَلْمُسْلِمِينَ فَأَصَابَ شَيْئاً فَعَطِبَ فَهُوَ لَهُ ضَامِنٌ".
The Messenger of Allah سبحانه وتعالى (peace be upon him and his family) said: "Whoever extends a water spout, a drain, drives a peg, ties an animal, or digs a well in the path of Muslims and it causes harm or damage to anything, then he is liable for it."
