Arabic hadith text

وَعَنْ اَلْبَرَاءِ بْنِ عَازِبٍ رَضِيَ اَللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا قَالَ: { قَضَى رَسُولُ اَللَّهِ ‏- صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏-أَنَّ حِفْظَ اَلْحَوَائِطِ بِالنَّهَارِ عَلَى أَهْلِهَا, وَأَنْ حِفْظَ اَلْمَاشِيَةِ بِاللَّيْلِ عَلَى أَهْلِهَا, وَأَنَّ عَلَى أَهْلِ اَلْمَاشِيَةِ مَا أَصَابَتْ مَاشِيَتُهُمْ بِاللَّيْلِ } رَوَاهُ أَحْمَدُ, وَالْأَرْبَعَةُ إِلَّا اَلتِّرْمِذِيُّ, 1‏.‏ وَصَحَّحَهُ اِبْنُ حِبَّانَ وَفِي إِسْنَادِهِ اِخْتِلَافٌ.‏ 2‏.‏

‏1 ‏- كذا بالأصل، وفي "أ": "رواه الخمسة إلا الترمذي".‏‏2 ‏- صحيح.‏ والخلاف المشار إليه هو في وصله وإرساله، ولكنه جاء بسند صحيح موصول كما عند أبي داود وابن ماجه وغيرهما، وفي الأصل تفصيل لطرق الحديث.‏

Translation
Ibn ’Abbas (RAA) narrated that The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said

“If anyone is killed and his killer is not known, or was killed with a stone, a whip or with a stick (i.e. killed by mistake but with a deliberate injury) his Diyah will be that of killing by mistake (manslaughter). As for whoever killed deliberately, retaliation is due (from the one who killed him). Anyone who tries to prevent taking Qisas (from the killer) may Allah curse him.” Related by Abu Dawud, An-Nasa’i and Ibn Majah with a strong chain of narrators.
