Hadith 891
۞
Hadith.4105 - Safwan ibn Yahya narrated from Ishaq ibn Ammar, who said
"I asked Abu Ibrahim (Imam Musa ibn Jafar Al-Kadhim (as)) about a man who has a pledged item (rahn) in his possession but does not know to whom it belongs.
Imam (as) said: 'I do not recommend that he sell it until its owner comes.'
I said: 'He does not know to whom it belongs.'
Imam (as) replied: 'Does it have any excess value or deficiency?'
I said: 'What if it has excess or deficiency, what should he do?'
Imam (as) said: 'If it has a deficiency, it is easier; he may sell it and be rewarded for what remains. However, if it has excess value, that is more difficult; he should sell it and hold the surplus until its owner comes.' "
4105 - وَ رَوَى صَفْوَانُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ إِسْحَاقَ بْنِ عَمَّارٍ قَالَ
سَأَلْتُ أَبَا إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَنْ رَجُلٍ يَكُونُ عِنْدَهُ اَلرَّهْنُ فَلاَ يَدْرِي لِمَنْ هُوَ مِنَ اَلنَّاسِ فَقَالَ "مَا أُحِبُّ أَنْ يَبِيعَهُ حَتَّى يَجِيءَ صَاحِبُهُ" قُلْتُ لاَ يَدْرِي لِمَنْ هُوَ مِنَ اَلنَّاسِ فَقَالَ "فِيهِ فَضْلٌ أَوْ نُقْصَانٌ" قُلْتُ فَإِنْ كَانَ فِيهِ فَضْلٌ أَوْ نُقْصَانٌ مَا يَصْنَعُ قَالَ "إِنْ كَانَ فِيهِ نُقْصَانٌ فَهُوَ أَهْوَنُ يَبِيعُهُ فَيُؤْجَرُ بِمَا بَقِيَ وَ إِنْ كَانَ فِيهِ فَضْلٌ فَهُوَ أَشَدُّهُمَا عَلَيْهِ يَبِيعُهُ وَ يُمْسِكُ فَضْلَهُ حَتَّى يَجِيءَ صَاحِبُهُ".
