It is narrated from Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) that in the time of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) a man bought a slave from another man. The slave remained with him for as long as Allah willed; then he returned him because of a defect that he found in him. When the slave was returned, the seller said: O Messenger of Allah, he has been benefiting (earning income) from my slave for all this time. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The benefit belongs to the one who bears responsibility for loss (that is, the income belongs to the one in whose possession the item was at risk of perishing)."

It is narrated from Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) that in the time of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) a man bought a slave who had a defect of which he was unaware. He made use of the slave (or earned income from him); then when he learned of the defect, he returned him. Then the two parties took their dispute to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and the seller said: O Messenger of Allah, he has benefited from him for a long time. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The income is in return for the liability (responsibility for loss)." The chain of this hadith is sahih (authentic), but the two Shaykhs did not record it. Ibn Abi Dhi'b has also narrated it in abridged form through Makhlad bin Khufaf from Sayyidah Aishah.

It is narrated from Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Indeed, the benefit (income) is in return for the liability (responsibility for loss)." The wording of the narration of Asim is that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) ruled that the income is in return for the liability. Sufyan al-Thawri, Ibn al-Mubarak and Yahya bin Sa'id have narrated it from Ibn Abi Dhi'b.
