Hadith.4089 - It is narrated from Muhammad ibn Ali ibn Mahbub, who said
A man wrote to the 'Jurist' (Imam Hasan ibn Ali Al-Askari (as)) regarding a case where someone entrusted another person with a deposit (wadi'ah) and instructed him to keep it in his own house, or gave no specific instruction. However, the man placed it in his neighbor's house, and it was lost. Does he bear responsibility if he disobeyed the instruction or moved it out of his possession? The 'Jurist' (Imam Hasan ibn Ali Al-Askari (as)) replied: "He is liable for it, if Allah (swt) wills."
4089 - وَ رُوِيَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ قَالَ
كَتَبَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى اَلْفَقِيهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ فِي رَجُلٍ دَفَعَ إِلَى رَجُلٍ وَدِيعَةً وَ أَمَرَهُ أَنْ يَضَعَهَا فِي مَنْزِلِهِ أَوْ لَمْ يَأْمُرْهُ فَوَضَعَهَا اَلرَّجُلُ فِي مَنْزِلِ جَارِهِ فَضَاعَتْ هَلْ يَجِبُ عَلَيْهِ إِذَا خَالَفَ أَمْرَهُ أَوْ أَخْرَجَهَا مِنْ مِلْكِهِ فَوَقَّعَ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ "هُوَ ضَامِنٌ لَهَا إِنْ شَاءَ اَللَّهُ تَعَالَى".

Hadith 876
Hadith.4090 - Ibn Abi Umayr narrated from Habib al-Khath'ami, from Abu Abdullah (as), who said
I asked Imam (as) about a man who has wealth in his possession as a deposit (wadi'ah). Can he take from it without the owner's permission? Imam (as) said: "He should not take from it unless he has the means to repay it." I then asked: "What if he finds someone who guarantees it for him, but he himself does not have the means to repay, and he has the guarantor testify on his behalf, can he take from it?" Imam (as) said: "Yes."
4090 - وَ رَوَى اِبْنُ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ حَبِيبٍ اَلْخَثْعَمِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ
قُلْتُ لَهُ اَلرَّجُلُ يَكُونُ عِنْدَهُ اَلْمَالُ وَدِيعَةً يَأْخُذُ مِنْهُ بِغَيْرِ إِذْنِ صَاحِبِهِ قَالَ "لاَ يَأْخُذْ إِلاَّ أَنْ يَكُونَ لَهُ وَفَاءٌ " وَ قَالَ قُلْتُ أَ رَأَيْتَ إِنْ وَجَدَ مَنْ يَضْمَنُهُ وَ لَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ وَفَاءٌ وَ أَشْهَدَ عَلَى نَفْسِهِ اَلَّذِي يَضْمَنُهُ يَأْخُذُ مِنْهُ قَالَ "نَعَمْ".

Hadith 877
Hadith.4091 - It is narrated from Misma' Abu Sayyar, who said
I said to Abu Abdullah (as): "I had entrusted a man with some wealth, but he denied it and swore an oath against it. After two years, he returned to me with the wealth I had entrusted him and said, This is your wealth, take it. And here are four thousand dirhams I earned as profit, it is also yours. Please forgive me.' I took back my wealth but refused to take the profit. I held off from taking the entrusted wealth as well until I could consult your opinion. What do you advise?" Imam (as) said: "Take half of the profit and give him the other half. Then forgive him, for this man has repented, and Allah (swt) 'loves those who repent'."
4091 - وَ رُوِيَ عَنْ مِسْمَعٍ أَبِي سَيَّارٍ قَالَ
قُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ إِنِّي كُنْتُ اِسْتَوْدَعْتُ رَجُلاً مَالاً فَجَحَدَنِيهِ وَ حَلَفَ لِي عَلَيْهِ ثُمَّ إِنَّهُ جَاءَنِي بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ بِسَنَتَيْنِ بِالْمَالِ اَلَّذِي أَوْدَعْتُهُ إِيَّاهُ فَقَالَ هَذَا مَالُكَ فَخُذْهُ وَ هَذِهِ أَرْبَعَةُ آلاَفِ دِرْهَمٍ رَبِحْتُهَا فَهِيَ لَكَ مَعَ مَالِكَ وَ اِجْعَلْنِي فِي حِلٍّ فَأَخَذْتُ مِنْهُ اَلْمَالَ وَ أَبَيْتُ أَنْ آخُذَ اَلرِّبْحَ مِنْهُ وَ وَقَفْتُ اَلْمَالَ اَلَّذِي كُنْتُ اِسْتَوْدَعْتُهُ وَ أَبَيْتُ أَخْذَهُ حَتَّى أَسْتَطْلِعَ رَأْيَكَ فَمَا تَرَى فَقَالَ "خُذْ نِصْفَ اَلرِّبْحِ وَ أَعْطِهِ اَلنِّصْفَ وَ حَلِّلْهُ فَإِنَّ هَذَا رَجُلٌ تَائِبٌ وَ اَللَّهُ "يُحِبُّ اَلتَّوّٰابِينَ" ".

Hadith 878
Hadith.4092 - Ishaq ibn Ammar asked Abu Abdullah (as) about a man who entrusted another man with one thousand dirhams, but the money was lost. The trustee claimed that the amount was a loan, while the depositor insisted it was a deposit (wadi'ah). Imam (as) said: "The money is binding upon him (the trustee) unless he provides evidence that it was a deposit."
4092 - وَ سَأَلَ إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ عَمَّارٍ أَبَا عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ : عَنْ رَجُلٍ اِسْتَوْدَعَ رَجُلاً أَلْفَ دِرْهَمٍ فَضَاعَتْ فَقَالَ
لَهُ اَلرَّجُلُ إِنَّمَا كَانَتْ عَلَيْهِ قَرْضاً وَ قَالَ اَلْآخَرُ إِنَّمَا كَانَتْ وَدِيعَةً فَقَالَ "اَلْمَالُ لاَزِمٌ لَهُ إِلاَّ أَنْ يُقِيمَ اَلْبَيِّنَةَ إِنَّمَا كَانَتْ وَدِيعَةً".

Hadith 879
Hadith.4093 - A man said to Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as): "I entrusted a man with wealth, or I deposited it with him, but he betrayed me and denied having my wealth." Imam (as) said: "The trustworthy one did not betray you, but rather, you entrusted a traitor."
4093 - وَ قَالَ رَجُلٌ لِلصَّادِقِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ إِنِّي اِئْتَمَنْتُ رَجُلاً عَلَى مَالٍ أَوْدَعْتُهُ إِيَّاهُ عِنْدَهُ فَخَانَنِي فِيهِ وَ أَنْكَرَ مَالِي فَقَالَ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ "لَمْ يَخُنْكَ اَلْأَمِينُ وَ لَكِنَّكَ اِئْتَمَنْتَ اَلْخَائِنَ".
