Section: Regarding that which is incumbent upon the lessor and the lessee for riding. It is incumbent upon the lessor to provide everything that custom dictates should be fitted to the mount for the rider, such as the hadajah (camel litter) for the camel, the qatab (camel saddle), the zimam (rein) by which the camel is led, and the burah (nose-ring) that is in the nose of the camel, if custom among them is established for that. If it is a horse, it includes the bridle and the saddle. If it is a mule or a donkey, it includes the pack-saddle and the saddle-cloth, because this is the custom, and the absolute contract is interpreted based upon it. Upon the lessee is what exceeds that, such as the mahmil (palanquin), the maharah (small litter), and the rope with which it is tied between the two mahmils or maharahs, because that is part of the maintenance of the mahmil, as well as the padding that is tied over the hadajah under the mahmil. It is upon the lessor to lift the mahmil, lower it, and fasten it onto the camel, and to lift the loads, fasten them, and unload them; because this is the custom, and by this, the ability to ride is achieved. It is incumbent upon him to provide a leader and a driver, this is if the hiring is on the condition that he goes with the lessee. But if it is on the condition that the rider receives the animal to ride it himself, then all of that is upon him, because what is upon the lessor is the delivery of the animal, and he has delivered it to him. As for the guide, he is upon the lessee, because that is outside of the hired animal and its equipment, so it is not incumbent upon him, just like provisions. It is said: If he hired from him a specific animal, the wage of the guide is upon the lessee; because he is the one whose duty it is to deliver the mount, and he has delivered it. If it is for carrying him to a specific place as a debt, then it is upon the lessor, because it is part of the costs of delivering him to it and achieving his arrival there.
Section: If the rider is someone who cannot mount while the camel is standing, such as a woman, an old person, a weak person, an obese person, and their like, it is upon the camel-driver to make the camel kneel for his mounting and dismounting, because he cannot manage mounting and dismounting except by this. If he is one for whom it is possible to mount and dismount while the camel is standing, it is not incumbent upon the camel-driver to make the camel kneel for him, because it is possible to fulfill the object of the contract without this burden.

فصل: فيما يَلْزَمُ المُكْرِى والمُكْتَرِى لِلرُّكُوب، يَلْزَمُ المُكْرِىَ كلُّ ما جَرَتِ العادَةُ أن يُوطَأَ به المَرْكُوبُ لِلرَّاكِب، من الحَداجَةِ (١٣) لِلْجَمَلِ، والقَتَبِ، والزِّمَامِ الذي يُقَادُ به البَعِيرُ، والبُرَةِ التي في أَنْفِ البَعِيرِ، إن كانت العادَةُ جارِيَةً بينهم بها. وإن كان فَرَسًا، فاللِّجَامُ والسَّرْجُ. وإن كان بَغْلًا أو حِمَارًا فالبَرْذَعَةُ والإِكَافُ؛ لأنَّ هذا هو العُرْفُ، فحُمِلَ الإِطْلَاقُ عليه. وعلى المُكْتَرِى ما يَزِيدُ على ذلك، كالمَحْمِلِ، والمَحارَةِ، والحَبْلِ الذي يُشَدُّ به بين المَحْمِلَيْنِ أو المَحارَتَيْنِ؛ لأنَّ ذلك من مَصْلَحةِ المَحْمِلِ، والوِطَاءِ الذي يُشَدُّ فوق الحدَاجَةِ تحت المَحْمِل (١٤). وعلى المُكْرِى رَفْعُ المَحْمِلِ [، وحَطُّه، وشَدُّه] (١٥) على الجَمَلِ، ورَفْعُ الأحْمالِ وشَدُّها وحَطُّها؛ لأنَّ هذا هو العُرْفُ، وبه يُتَمَكَّنُ من الرُّكُوبِ. ويَلْزَمُه القائِدُ والسائِقُ، هذا إذا كان الكِرَاءُ على أن يَذهَبَ مع المُكْتَرِى، وإن كان على أن يَتَسَلَّمَ الرَّاكِبُ البَهِيمةَ يَرْكَبُها لِنَفْسِه، فكلُّ ذلك عليه؛ لأنَّ الذي على المُكْرِى تَسْلِيمُ البَهِيمةِ، وقد سَلَّمَها إليه (١٦). فأمَّا الدَّلِيلُ فهو على المُكْتَرِى؛ لأنَّ ذلك خارِجٌ عن البَهِيمةِ المُكْتَرَاةِ وآلتِها، فلم يَلْزَمْهُ، كالزَّادِ. وقيل: إن كان اكْتَرَى منه بَهيمةً بِعَيْنِها، فأُجْرَةُ الدَّلِيلِ على المُكْتَرِى؛ لأنَّه الذي عليه أن يُسَلِّمَ الظَّهْرَ، وقد سَلَّمَهُ، وإن كانت على حَمْلِه إلى مكانٍ مُعَيَّنٍ في الذِّمَّةِ، فهو على المُكْرِى؛ لأنَّه من مُؤْنَةِ إيصَالِه إليه، وتَحْصِيلِه فيه.
فصل: وإذا كان الرَّاكِبُ (١٧) ممَّن لا يَقْدِرُ على الرُّكُوبِ والبَعِيرُ قائِمٌ، كالمَرْأةِ والشَّيْخِ والضَّعِيفِ والسَّمِينِ وشِبْهِهم، فعلى الجَمَّالِ أن يُبْرِكَ الجَمَلَ لِرُكُوبِه ونُزُولِه؛ لأنَّه لا يَتَمَكَّنُ من الرُّكُوبِ والنُّزُولِ إلَّا به. وإن كان ممَّن يُمْكِنُه الرُّكُوبُ والنُّزُولُ والبَعِيرُ قائِمٌ، لم يَلْزم الجَمّالَ أن يُبْرِكَ (١٨) له الجَمَلَ؛ لأنَّه يُمْكِنُ اسْتِيفاءُ
