Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 22259 — A mudarib who breaches the terms

Riyah bin Ubaydah (may Allah have mercy on him) said that merchandise was sent with a man. When he was on the road, he saw something being sold. He then called witnesses that he was liable for the merchandise, and he bought that thing with it. When he came to Madinah, he sold what he had bought and made a profit. Then Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) was asked about this. He said: The profit belongs to the owner of the capital.
