يَرْجِعُ عَلَيْهِ بِفَضْلِ مَا رَهَنَهُ وَ إِنْ كَانَ أَنْقَصَ مِمَّا رَهَنَهُ عَلَيْهِ رَجَعَ عَلَى الرَّاهِنِ بِالْفَضْلِ وَ إِنْ كَانَ الرَّهْنُ يَسْوَي مَا رَهَنَهُ عَلَيْهِ فَالرَّهْنُ بِمَا فِيهِ.

Hadith.4101 - He (narrator) said: I asked him about a man who deposited collateral (rahn) with another man against a debt of one thousand dirhams, while the value of the collateral was two thousand dirhams, but the collateral was lost. Imam (as) said: "The creditor shall reclaim from the debtor the surplus value of what was pledged. If the value of the collateral was less than the debt, the creditor shall reclaim the remaining balance from the debtor. However, if the value of the collateral equaled the debt, then the collateral suffices as payment for the debt."
