me to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! Anas is an intelligent boy, so let him serve you."
Anas added, "So I served the Prophet (ﷺ) L at home and on journeys; by Allah, he never said to me for
anything which I did: Why have you done this like this or, for anything which I did not do: 'Why have
you not done this like this?"

The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "There is no Diya for a person injured or killed by an animal (going about without
somebody to control it) and similarly, there is no Diya for the one who falls and dies in a well, and

state."
