Hadith.5191 - Jafar ibn Bashir narrated from Mualla Abu Uthman from Abu Abdullah Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq , who said: I asked Imam about a man who was approached by an animal that was about to trample him, and fearing harm from it, he shouted at the animal, causing it to panic and throw off its rider, resulting in injury or something similar. Imam said: "There is no liability upon him. He merely repelled the harm from himself, and the animal (dabbah) is considered Al-jubar (i.e., its resulting harm carries no compensation)."
