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 (a.s.), 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.’” صحيح - Allamah Baqir al-Majlisi (Mirʾāt al-ʿUqūl fī Sharḥ Akhbār Āl al-Rasūl (19/389))
