Mishkat al-Masabih 2952
وَعَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «الرجل جَبَّار وَالنَّار جَبَّار» . رَوَاهُ أَبُو دَاوُد
Abu Huraira reported the Prophet as saying that no recompense may be demanded if a foot is trodden on*, and that the same applies in the case of fire. Abu Dawud transmitted it. * Or it may mean that no recompense may be demanded if one is kicked by an animal.
