The Sufficient (Vol 4) · Hadith 810 (#Ḥadīth #11)

11ـ عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ عَنِ ابْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنِ ابْنِ رِئَابٍ عَنِ ابْنِ بُكَيْرٍ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ أَحَدَهُمَا (عَلَيْهِما السَّلاَم) عَنْ رَجُلٍ أَصَابَ طَيْراً فِي الْحِلِّ فَاشْتَرَاهُ فَأَدْخَلَهُ الْحَرَمَ فَمَاتَ فَقَالَ إِنْ كَانَ حِينَ أَدْخَلَهُ الْحَرَمَ خَلَّى سَبِيلَهُ فَمَاتَ فَلا شَيْءَ عَلَيْهِ وَإِنْ كَانَ أَمْسَكَهُ حَتَّى مَاتَ عِنْدَهُ فِي الْحَرَمِ فَعَلَيْهِ الْفِدَاءُ.

11. A number of our people have narrated from Sahl ibn Ziyad from ibn Mahbub, from ibn Ri’ab from ibn Bukayr who has said the following: “I once asked one of the two Imam, (abu Ja’far or abu ‘Abd Allah) , about a man who finds a bird in non-al-Haram (the sacred area) and buys it, then enters al-Haram (the sacred area), with it and it dies. He (the Imam) said, ‘Were he to release it in al-Haram (the sacred area), then it died he did not owe anything. If he holds it until it dies with him in al-Haram (the sacred area) he is required to pay ransom.’”
