Chapter on What is Obligatory When an Animal Strikes a Person with Its Front or Hind Legs
وَ فِي رِوَايَةِ غِيَاثِ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: "أَنَّ عَلِيّاً عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ ضَمَّنَ صَاحِبَ اَلدَّابَّةِ مَا وَطِئَتْ بِيَدَيْهَا وَ مَا نَفَحَتْ بِرِجْلَيْهَا فَلاَ ضَمَانَ عَلَيْهِ إِلاَّ أَنْ يَضْرِبَهَا إِنْسَانٌ".
In the narration of Ghiyath ibn Ibrahim from Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq عليه السلام from his father, Imam Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Baqir عليه السلام: "Indeed, Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib عليه السلام held the owner of the animal liable for what it trampled with its front legs and what it struck with its hind legs. However, there is no liability upon him unless a person strikes the animal."
