Chapter on the Liability of One Who Carried Something and Claimed Its Loss
وَ أُتِيَ عَلِيٌّ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ بِصَاحِبِ حَمَّامٍ وُضِعَتْ عِنْدَهُ اَلثِّيَابُ فَضَاعَتْ فَلَمْ يُضَمِّنْهُ وَ قَالَ "إِنَّمَا هُوَ أَمِينٌ".
Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib عليه السلام was presented with the case of a bathhouse attendant with whom clothes were deposited, but they were lost. Imam عليه السلام did not hold him liable and said: "He is merely a trustee."
