Disputes Arising From al-Rahn (Security Deposit, Mortgage)

4. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from ibn Mahbub from ‘Abbad ibn Suhayb who has said the following: “This is concerning my question before abu ‘Abd Allah عليه السلام, about the case of two men who disputed about an asset. One said that it was a Wadi ‘ah (safe deposit) and the other said that it was al-Rahn (security deposit). Abu ‘Abd Allah عليه السلام, has said, ‘The words of one who says that it is al-Rahn (security deposit) are accepted unless the other party presents witnesses who testify that it is Wadi ‘ah (safe deposit).”’
