Liability for Safe Deposit and Borrowing
Al-Kāfi|Volume 5|Book 2|Chapter 111
9- مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْحُسَيْنِ قَالَ كَتَبْتُ إِلَى أَبِي مُحَمَّدٍ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) رَجُلٌ دَفَعَ إِلَى رَجُلٍ وَدِيعَةً فَوَضَعَهَا فِي مَنْزِلِ جَارِهِ فَضَاعَتْ فَهَلْ يَجِبُ عَلَيْهِ إِذَا خَالَفَ أَمْرَهُ وَأَخْرَجَهَا مِنْ مِلْكِهِ فَوَقَّعَ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) هُوَ ضَامِنٌ لَهَا إِنْ شَاءَ اللهُ.
9. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Muhammad ibn al-Husayn who has said the following: “I wrote to abu Muhammad عليه السلام, and asked, ‘A man leaves Wadi‘ah (safe deposit) with another man who keeps it in the house of his neighbor and it is lost; if he is held liable for it after taking it out of his property against the instruction of the owner. He (the Imam) signed the answer that said, ‘He is responsible for it, by the will of Allah.’”
