7- عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ حَمَّادٍ عَنْ حَرِيزٍ عَنْ زُرَارَةَ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللهِ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) عَنْ وَدِيعَةِ الذَّهَبِ وَالْفِضَّةِ قَالَ فَقَالَ كُلُّمَا كَانَ مِنْ وَدِيعَةٍ وَلَمْ تَكُنْ مَضْمُونَةً لا تَلْزَمُ.
7. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Hammad from Hariz from Zurarah who has said the following: “This is concerning my question before abu ‘Abd Allah عليه السلام, about the Wadi‘ah (safe deposit) of gold and silver. He (the Imam) said, ‘Whatever of Wadi ‘ah (safe deposit) for which liability is not stipulated does not make one liable.”’
