سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) فَقُلْتُ أَمَرَنِي أَخِي أَنْ أَسْأَلَكَ عَنْ مَالِ يَتِيمٍ فِي حَجْرِهِ يَتَّجِرُ بِهِ فَقَالَ إِنْ كَانَ لِأَخِيكَ مَالٌ يُحِيطُ بِمَالِ الْيَتِيمِ إِنْ تَلِفَ أَوْ أَصَابَهُ شَيْءٌ غَرِمَهُ لَهُ وَ إِلَّا فَلَا يَتَعَرَّضْ لِمَالِ الْيَتِيمِ .
Translation
A number of our companions, from Sahl Bin Ziyad, from Ali Bin Asbat, from Asbaat Bin Salim who said, ‘I asked Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> saying, ‘My brother instructed me to ask you<sup>asws</sup> about wealth of an orphan in his lap (care), he trades with it’. So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘If there was (sufficient) wealth for your brother which overcomes the wealth of the orphan if losses are incurred or if something hits it which is a damage for him (fine), or else so he should not expose the wealth of the orphan (to the losses)’.
