A man who gives someone something and it gets lost

Fudayl said: A man gave me a dinar so that I could buy wheat for him, and it was lost (perished) in my hands. I said to the wheat-seller: "Weigh out more wheat for me in its place." I mentioned this to Ibrahim, and he said: "That was not binding on you."

Imran al-Khayyat said: A woman gave me dirhams so that I could buy something for her with them, and a mithqal of them was lost. I mentioned this to Ibrahim, and he said: "Give dirhams in its place (in exchange for it)."

Al-Hasan said: There is no liability on a messenger.

Sayyiduna Ali and Sayyiduna Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: There is no liability on the one with whom a trust is deposited.
