رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ 2355. Narrated Abū Hurairah that Allāh's Messenger ﷺ said, "No blood-money will be charged if somebody dies in a mine, or in a well, or is killed by an animal; and if somebody finds a treasure in his land he has to give one-fifth of it to the government."(1)
2355 - حَدَّثَنَا مَحْمُودٌ، أَخْبَرَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ، عَنْ إِسْرَائِيلَ، عَنْ أَبِي حَصِينٍ، عَنْ أَبِي صَالِحٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «المَعْدِنُ جُبَارٌ، وَالبِئْرُ جُبَارٌ، وَالعَجْمَاءُ جُبَارٌ، وَفِي الرِّكَازِ الخُمُسُ»
