Chapter on the Liability of One Who Carried Something and Claimed Its Loss
وَ رُوِيَ عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ قَالَ: حَمَلَ أَبِي مَتَاعاً إِلَى اَلشَّامِ مَعَ جَمَّالٍ فَذَكَرَ أَنَّ حِمْلاً مِنْهُ ضَاعَ فَذَكَرْتُ ذَلِكَ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ فَقَالَ "أَ تَتَّهِمُهُ" فَقُلْتُ لاَ قَالَ "فَلاَ تُضَمِّنْهُ".
It is narrated from Ja'far bin Uthman, who said: My father sent some goods to Syria with a camel driver, and the camel driver claimed that one of the loads was lost. I mentioned this to Abu Abdillah عليه السلام. Imam عليه السلام said: "Do you suspect him?" I said: "No." Imam عليه السلام said: "Then do not hold him liable."
