It is narrated from Haram bin Sa'd Muhayyisah that the camel of Sayyiduna Bara' bin 'Azib (may Allah be pleased with him) entered a garden and caused damage, so the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered that "the protection of the garden during the day is the responsibility of the owner of the garden, but if at night an animal enters the garden and causes damage, then the liability will be upon the owner of the animal."

It is narrated from Yahya bin Abdur Rahman bin Hatib that some slaves stole and slaughtered a man's camel. When this case was brought before Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him), he (may Allah be pleased with him) said to Kathir bin Salt: "Cut off the hands of these slaves." Then he said to Hatib: "I think you must be keeping these slaves hungry." Then Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said to Hatib: "By Allah! I will make you pay such compensation that will be very burdensome for you." He (may Allah be pleased with him) asked the owner of the camel: "How much is your camel worth?" He replied: "I have never sold it for four hundred dirhams." Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "Then pay him eight hundred dirhams for it."

Imam Malik, may Allah have mercy on him, said: In our view, this narration will not be acted upon regarding taking double the price, but the practice of the people has been that the price of the animal on the day it was grazed will be given.
