adab:1194

Zuhayr reported that one of the Companions of the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "If anyone spends the night on a flat roof (without walls) and then falls off of it and dies, no one bears any responsibility for him. If anyone embarks on the sea when it is fierce (i.e. stormy) and is destroyed, no one bears any responsibility for him."

الأدب المفرد:١١٩٤حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا الْحَارِثُ بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو عِمْرَانَ عَنْ زُهَيْرٍ عَنْ رَجُلٍ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ مَنْ بَاتَ عَلَى إِنْجَارٍ فَوَقَعَ مِنْهُ فَمَاتَ بَرِئَتْ مِنْهُ الذِّمَّةُ وَمَنْ رَكِبَ الْبَحْرَ حِينَ يَرْتَجُّ يَعْنِي يَغْتَلِمُ فَهَلَكَ بَرِئَتْ مِنْهُ الذِّمَّةُ
