Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah

Hazrat Hakam states that a man bought something from someone, and before taking possession, it was destroyed while still with the seller. In this case, if the seller had said, "Take your goods," then the loss will be the customer's. But if the seller had said, "I will not give this to you until you bring me its price," then the loss will be the seller's.

Hazrat Dawood says that I asked Hazrat Aamir: If a person bought something from someone and, after preparing it, left it in the seller’s house, and did not consider the goods as collateral, then what is the ruling if the goods are burned? He replied that this is the seller’s loss.

Ibrahim says that if a man bought something and the buyer said, "Hand it over to me," and the seller said, "I will not give it to you until you bring the price," then this transaction will be considered as a pledge. If it is destroyed, it will be from the seller's property. And if the seller said to the buyer, "Take it into your possession," and the buyer said, "I will not take possession until I bring the price," then this will be under the ruling of a deposit. If it is destroyed, it will be destroyed from the buyer's property. Ibn Aun says that I mentioned this to Muhammad, and he said, "In my opinion, he spoke the truth."

Hazrat Dawood bin Abi Hind says that a man bought some goods from another man on the condition of payment at a fixed time and left it with the seller. At night, a fire broke out in the house and some of the goods were burnt. I asked Hazrat Sha’bi about this, and he said that the loss is borne by the one in whose possession it was.
