Chapter 11- Al·'Ariya(Lending something For use)

913. Sarnurah bin Jundub narrated that the Messenger of Allah said, "The hand (the person) which borrowed bears responsibfltty for the taken item, until it is returned." Related by Ahmad and the four Imams. Al-Hakim graded it as Sahih.






914. Abu Hurairah narrated that the Messenger of AIlah said, "Render back the trusts to those who trusted you, and do not betray those who betrayed you." Related by At-Tirmidhi and Abu Dawud who graded it as Hasan.






915. Ya'li bin Umaiyah narrated that the Messenger of Allah said to me, "When my messengers come to you, give them thirty coats of mail." I asked, '0 Messenger of Allah! Is it a lent item with a guarantee of its return (Madmunah) (281) or just a lent item that will be returned (Mu'addah) (in this case he is not financially liable for its loss or destruction.' The Messenger of Allah said, "No, it is a lent item that will be returned." (282) Related by Ahmad, Abu Dawud, An-Nasa'i. Ibn Hibban graded it as Sahih.

281. For which he (the person lent to) is financially liable if it is destroyed due to negligence or being used for other than what the lender permitted.

282. Some scholars take this hadith as evidence that the person who borrows an item for a certain period of time is not financially liable for its destruction but is only responsible to give it back as long as it is safe. But most scholars are of the opinion that if a lent item is lost or destroyed due to misuse then the person who borrowed it must pay its price which
is the -'Ariya Madmunah.






916. Safwan bin Umaiyah narrated. 'The Messenger of Allah borrowed coats of mail from him on the Day of Hunain. Safwan asked him, 'Are you taking them by force 0 Muhammad?' The Messenger of Allah replied, "No, it is a loan with a guarantee of its return (Madmunah)." Related by Abu Dawud, Ahmad and An-Nasa'i. Al-Hakim graded it as Sahih.
