Amr bin Shu'aib narrates from his father, from his grandfather, that the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: "There is no liability upon the one with whom a trust has been deposited."

Amr bin Shu'aib narrates from his father, who narrates from his grandfather, that the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: "A person who borrows something for temporary use is not liable to pay compensation, but if someone uses it deceitfully (then he will be liable to pay compensation). Similarly, a person with whom something is deposited as a trust is also not liable to pay compensation, but if he deceives (then he will also be liable to pay compensation)."

Ata bin Abi Rabah explained the words of the narration (a temporarily taken item will be returned) by stating that a tribe accepted Islam, and they had some items which they had taken from the polytheists for temporary use. These people said: Due to accepting Islam, these items of the polytheists which are with us or have come to us... When this was reported to the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), he said: "Islam does not permit you to take possession of anything that does not belong to you; a temporarily taken item must be returned." So then those people returned those items (of the polytheists) to them.

Qadi Shurayh narrates that the person who takes something on loan (for temporary use) and the person with whom something is deposited as a trust, are not liable to pay compensation, except if they are deceitful (then the ruling will be different).

Sayyiduna Nu’man bin Bashir (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that my father lifted me up and brought me to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said:“Bear witness that I have given Nu’man this much wealth from my property.”The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked:“Have you given the same gift to all your children as you have given to Nu’man?”He replied:“No.”So the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:“Then make someone else a witness instead of me. Would you not like that all (i.e., your children) treat you equally well?”He replied:“Yes, indeed!”The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:“Then do not do this.”Muhamil says: (In the narration, these words are present:)“Have you given the same gift to all your sons?”
