4. Al-Husayn from Muhammad has narrated from Mu’alla’ ibn Muhammad from al-Hassan ibn Ali from Aban (from Muhammad) who has said the following
“I once asked abu Ja‘far (a.s.), about a borrowed item; if it was destroyed or was stolen. He (the Imam) said, ‘If the borrower is trustworthy he is not held liable.’ I then asked him (the Imam) about the case of a man who gave certain amount of assets to another person to use in business in which the worker had no share in the profit and the asset was destroyed or stolen; if this person was held responsible. He (the Imam) said, ‘The man is not responsible for the loss after being found trustworthy.’”
4- الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ مُعَلَّى بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ عَنْ أَبَانٍ [عَنْ مُحَمَّدٍ] عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) قَالَ
سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ الْعَارِيَّةِ يَسْتَعِيرُهَا الإنْسَانُ فَتَهْلِكُ أَوْ تُسْرَقُ فَقَالَ إِذَا كَانَ أَمِيناً فَلا غُرْمَ عَلَيْهِ قَالَ وَسَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ الَّذِي يَسْتَبْضِعُ الْمَالَ فَيَهْلِكُ أَوْ يُسْرَقُ أَعَلَى صَاحِبِهِ ضَمَانٌ فَقَالَ لَيْسَ عَلَيْهِ غُرْمٌ بَعْدَ أَنْ يَكُونَ الرَّجُلُ أَمِيناً.
