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'."

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" ".
