إِذَا اخْتَلَفَا فِي الرَّهْنِ فَقَالَ أَحَدُهُمَا رَهَنْتَهُ بِأَلْفِ دِرْهَمٍ وَ قَالَ الْآخَرُ بِمِائَةِ دِرْهَمٍ فَقَالَ يُسْأَلُ صَاحِبُ الْأَلْفِ الْبَيِّنَةَ فَإِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ بَيِّنَةٌ حَلَفَ صَاحِبُ الْمِائَةِ وَ إِنْ كَانَ الرَّهْنُ أَقَلَّ مِمَّا رُهِنَ أَوْ أَكْثَرَ وَ اخْتَلَفَا فَقَالَ أَحَدُهُمَا هُوَ رَهْنٌ وَ قَالَ الْآخَرُ هُوَ عِنْدَكَ وَدِيعَةٌ فَقَالَ يُسْأَلُ صَاحِبُ الْوَدِيعَةِ الْبَيِّنَةَ فَإِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ بَيِّنَةٌ حَلَفَ صَاحِبُ الرَّهْنِ .
Translation
Humeyd Bin Ziyad, from Al Hassan Bin Muhammad, from someone else, from Aban, from Ibn Abu Yafour, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> having said: ‘When there is a differing regarding the mortgage, so one of the two says, ‘I mortgaged it with a thousand Dirhams’, and the other one says, ‘It was with one hundred Dirhams’, so he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘The owner of the thousand would be asked for the proof. So if there does not happen to be any proof for him, the owner of the one hundred would be made to swear an oath. And if it was such that the mortgage item was less than the security held, or more, and they both differed, so one of the two says, ‘It is a security deposit’, and the other one says, ‘It was a trust with you’, so he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘The owner of the entrustment would be asked for the proof. So if there does not happen to be any proof for him, the owner of the mortgage would be made to swear an oath’.
