Man Lā Yaḥḍuruh al-Faqīh|Volume 3|Book 2|Chapter 35
وَ رَوَى اَلْحَسَنُ بْنُ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ عَبَّادِ بْنِ صُهَيْبٍ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَنْ مَتَاعٍ فِي يَدَيْ رَجُلَيْنِ أَحَدُهُمَا يَقُولُ اِسْتَوْدَعْتُكَاهُ وَ اَلْآخَرُ يَقُولُ هُوَ رَهْنٌ فَقَالَ "اَلْقَوْلُ قَوْلُ اَلَّذِي يَقُولُ هُوَ رَهْنٌ عِنْدِي إِلاَّ أَنْ يَأْتِيَ اَلَّذِي اِدَّعَى أَنَّهُ قَدْ أَوْدَعَهُ بِشُهُودٍ".
Al-Hasan ibn Mahbub narrated from 'Abbad ibn Suhayb, who said: I asked Abu Abdullah عليه السلام about an item held by two men, one of them claims, "I entrusted it to you as a deposit (wadi'ah)," while the other says, "It is collateral (rahn) with me." Imam عليه السلام said: "The statement of the one who claims it is collateral (rahn) is accepted unless the one who claims it was entrusted (wadi'ah) presents witnesses."
