Arabic hadith text

وَعَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسلم: «العجماء جرحها جَبَّار والبشر جَبَّار والمعدن جَبَّار وَفِي الرِّكَاز الْخمس»

Translation

Abu Huraira, may Allah be pleased with him, said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, ‘An animal’s injury is without liability; al-bishr is without liability; a mine is without liability; and one-fifth is due on rikaz.’

Translation notes

  • The source reads al-bishr (البشر) where the English witness interprets ‘a well’ (al-biʾr). The spelling appears uncertain, so the Arabic term is retained without resolving the reading. Rikaz is also left as a technical term; the English witness explains it as buried treasure and notes another possible meaning of mineral ore.
