Chapter on Deposits (Wadi'ah)
Man Lā Yaḥḍuruh al-Faqīh|Volume 3|Book 2|Chapter 34
وَ قَالَ رَجُلٌ لِلصَّادِقِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ إِنِّي اِئْتَمَنْتُ رَجُلاً عَلَى مَالٍ أَوْدَعْتُهُ إِيَّاهُ عِنْدَهُ فَخَانَنِي فِيهِ وَ أَنْكَرَ مَالِي فَقَالَ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ "لَمْ يَخُنْكَ اَلْأَمِينُ وَ لَكِنَّكَ اِئْتَمَنْتَ اَلْخَائِنَ".
A man said to Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq عليه السلام: "I entrusted a man with wealth, or I deposited it with him, but he betrayed me and denied having my wealth." Imam عليه السلام said: "The trustworthy one did not betray you, but rather, you entrusted a traitor."
