Al-Kāfi - The Book of Commerce Chapter: Liability for Safe Deposit and Borrowing 6- عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِي٠َ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُ٠َّادٍ عَنِ الْحَلَبِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللهِ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلا٠) قَالَ صَاحِبُ الْوَدِيعَةِ وَالْبِضَاعَةِ ٠َنَانِ وَقَالَ إِذَا هَلَكَتِ الْعَارِيَّةُ عِنْدَ الْ٠َنْهُ إِلا أَنْ يَكُونَ قَدِ اشْتُرِطَ عَلَيْهِ وَقَالَ فِي حَدِيثٍ آخَرَ إِذَا كَانَ ٠اً عَدْلا فَلَيْسَ عَلَيْهِ ضَ٠1.

Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr from Hammad from al-Halabiy who has said the following: “About the case of a man who claims that Wadi‘ah (safe deposit) were entrusted assets, abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘If a borrowed item is destroyed with the borrower he is not held liable unless it is stipulated.”’ In another Hadith it is said that if the borrower is a just Muslim he is not held liable.
