3. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr from Jamil from Zurarah who has said the following: “This is concerning my question before abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), about the borrowed item; if the borrower was held liable for it. He (the Imam) said, ‘If whatever you borrow is destroyed, you are not held liable except gold and silver; which bring liability unless it is stipulated that even on being destroyed you are not held liable. You are held liable for all that you borrow and it is stipulated that you are liable. Gold and silver bring liability, even if no stipulation is set.’”

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.’”
