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 رَوَى وُهَيْبُ بْنُ حَفْصٍ عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ غُلاَمٍ دَخَلَ دَارَ قَوْمٍ يَلْعَبُ فَوَقَعَ فِي بِئْرِهِمْ أَ يَضْمَنُونَ قَالَ "لَيْسَ يَضْمَنُونَ وَ إِنْ كَانُوا مُتَّهَمِينَ ضَمِنُوا".
Wuhayb ibn Hafs narrated from Abu Basir, who narrated from Abu Abdullah عليه السلام, who said: I asked Imam عليه السلام about a boy who entered the house of some people to play and fell into their well. Are they liable? Imam عليه السلام said: "They are not liable, but if they are accused (of negligence or wrongdoing), then they are liable."
