Man Lā Yaḥḍuruh al-Faqīh|Volume 3|Book 2|Chapter 35
وَ رَوَى إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ قَالَ عَلِيٌّ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: فِي رَهْنٍ اِخْتَلَفَ فِيهِ اَلرَّاهِنُ وَ اَلْمُرْتَهِنُ فَقَالَ "اَلرَّاهِنُ هُوَ بِكَذَا وَ كَذَا" وَ قَالَ "اَلْمُرْتَهِنُ هُوَ بِأَكْثَرَ إِنَّهُ يُصَدَّقُ اَلْمُرْتَهِنُ حَتَّى يُحِيطَ بِالثَّمَنِ لِأَنَّهُ أَمِينٌ".
Isma'il ibn Muslim narrated from Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq عليه السلام from his father, Imam Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Baqir عليه السلام (peace be upon them), who said that Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib عليه السلام stated: "In a case of dispute over a pledged item (rahn) between the pledger (rahin) and the pledgee (murtahin), where the pledger claims its value is such-and-such, and the pledgee claims it is of a higher value, the pledgee shall be believed until the value covers the debt because he is considered trustworthy."
