Hadith 803
۞
Hadith.3920 - Hammad narrated from Al-Halabi, from Abu Abdillah (as), regarding a camel driver who carries oil and claims that it was lost, spilled, or taken by robbers.
Imam (as) said
"If he brings trustworthy evidence that it was stolen, lost, or taken, then he is not liable. Otherwise, he is responsible for compensating it."
And regarding a man who transported food for another man in his boat, but the quantity decreased,
Imam (as) said: "He is liable."
I said to him: "Sometimes the quantity increases."
Imam (as) said: "Do you know that he added anything to it?"
I said: "No."
Imam (as) said: "Then it belongs to you."
3920 - رَوَى حَمَّادٌ عَنِ اَلْحَلَبِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ : فِي جَمَّالٍ يَحْمِلُ مَعَهُ اَلزَّيْتَ فَيَقُولُ قَدْ ذَهَبَ أَوْ أُهْرِقَ أَوْ قُطِعَ عَلَيْهِ اَلطَّرِيقُ "فَإِنْ جَاءَ عَلَيْهِ بِبَيِّنَةٍ عَادِلَةٍ أَنَّهُ قُطِعَ عَلَيْهِ أَوْ ذَهَبَ فَلَيْسَ عَلَيْهِ شَيْءٌ وَ إِلاَّ ضَمِنَ" وَ
فِي رَجُلٍ حَمَلَ مَعَهُ رَجُلٌ فِي سَفِينَتِهِ طَعَاماً فَنَقَصَ قَالَ "هُوَ ضَامِنٌ" قُلْتُ لَهُ إِنَّهُ رُبَّمَا زَادَ قَالَ "تَعْلَمُ أَنَّهُ زَادَ فِيهِ شَيْئاً" قُلْتُ لاَ قَالَ "هُوَ لَكَ".
