Hadith.4096 - Safwan ibn Yahya narrated from Ishaq ibn Ammar, who said:
I asked Abu Ibrahim (Imam Musa ibn Jafar Al-Kadhim ) about a man who takes a slave as collateral (rahn), and the slave suffers an injury, such as losing an eye or any reduction in his physical condition. Who bears the loss for such a deficiency?
Imam
replied: "It is upon his master."
I said: "The people say that if you give a slave as collateral and he falls ill, loses an eye, or suffers a physical defect, the man's wealth should decrease in proportion to the loss in the slave."
Imam
said: "What do you think, if the slave committed murder, who would bear the liability for his crime?"
I replied: "His liability would remain upon him."
