Man Lā Yaḥḍuruh al-Faqīh|Volume 4|Book 1|Chapter 71
وَ قَضَى أَمِيرُ اَلْمُؤْمِنِينَ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ فِي أَرْبَعَةِ أَنْفُسٍ شُرَكَاءَ فِي بَعِيرٍ فَعَقَلَهُ أَحَدُهُمْ فَانْطَلَقَ اَلْبَعِيرُ فَعَبِثَ بِعِقَالِهِ فَتَرَدَّى فَانْكَسَرَ فَقَالَ أَصْحَابُهُ لِلَّذِي عَقَلَهُ اِغْرَمْ لَنَا بَعِيرَنَا فَقَضَى بَيْنَهُمْ "أَنْ يَغْرَمُوا لَهُ حَظَّهُ مِنْ أَجْلِ أَنَّهُ أَوْثَقَ حَظَّهُ فَذَهَبَ حَظُّهُمْ بِحَظِّهِ" ".
The Commander of the Faithful عليه السلام ruled regarding four people who were partners in a camel. One of them tied it, but the camel struggled with its tether, broke free, fell, and was injured. The other owners said to the one who had tied it, "You must compensate us for our camel." So Imam عليه السلام ruled between them, saying: "They must compensate him for his share because he had secured his portion properly, but their shares were lost along with his.".
