حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ الْجَهْمِ الْأَنْمَاطِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَيُّوبُ بْنُ سُوَيْدٍ ، عَنِ الْمُثَنَّى ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ شُعَيْبٍ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، عَنْ جَدِّهِ ، قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " مَنْ أُودِعَ وَدِيعَةً فَلَا ضَمَانَ عَلَيْهِ " .
´It was narrated from 'Amr bin Shu'aib, from his father, that his grandfather said:` “The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: 'Whoever is entrusted with an item for safekeeping, is not responsible for it (so long as he is not negligent).' ”

Benefits and Issues:
➊ That which is given to someone for safekeeping is called a "wadi‘ah" (deposit/trust).
➋ Safeguarding someone’s trust (amanah) and not betraying it intentionally is a characteristic of the believers.
➌ If something is lost due to the negligence of the one entrusted with it, then its replacement should be paid. However, if his negligence had no part in its loss, then he will not be held responsible.
➍ Some researchers have classified the mentioned narration as hasan (good).
