The Sufficient (Vol 5) · Hadith 1104 (#Ḥadīth #3)

3- أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ [عَنْ رَجُلٍ] عَنْ أَبِي الْمَغْرَاءِ عَنِ الْحَلَبِيِّ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللهِ عَنِ الرَّجُلِ تَكَارَى دَابَّةً إِلَى مَكَانٍ مَعْلُومٍ فَنَفَقَتِ الدَّابَّةُ قَالَ إِنْ كَانَ جَازَ الشَّرْطَ فَهُوَ ضَامِنٌ وَإِنْ دَخَلَ وَادِياً لَمْ يُوثِقْهَا فَهُوَ ضَامِنٌ وَإِنْ سَقَطَتْ فِي بِئْرٍ فَهُوَ ضَامِنٌ لأنَّهُ لَمْ يَسْتَوْثِقْ مِنْهَا.

3. Ahmad ibn Muhammad has narrated from a man from abu al-Mighra’ from al-Halabiy who has said the following: “This is concerning my question before abu ‘Abd Allah , about the case of a man who rents a stumper to a certain place but it dies. He (the Imam) said, ‘If he has violated the stipulation he is responsible, if he enters a valley where he is not confident for its safety, he then is responsible, if it falls in a well where for its safety he is not confident, he is responsible.’”
