رَجُلٍ يَرْهَنُ عِنْدَ صَاحِبِهِ رَهْناً لَا بَيِّنَةَ بَيْنَهُمَا فِيهِ فَادَّعَى الَّذِي عِنْدَهُ الرَّهْنُ أَنَّهُ بِأَلْفٍ فَقَالَ صَاحِبُ الرَّهْنِ إِنَّمَا هُوَ بِمِائَةٍ قَالَ الْبَيِّنَةُ عَلَى الَّذِي عِنْدَهُ الرَّهْنُ أَنَّهُ بِأَلْفٍ وَ إِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ بَيِّنَةٌ فَعَلَى الرَّاهِنِ الْيَمِينُ .


Translation

Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Muhammad Bin Al Husayn, from Ali Bin Al Hakam, from Al A’ala Bin Razeyn, from Muhammad Bin Muslim, (It has been narrated) from Abu Ja’far<sup>asws</sup> regarding a man who mortgaged something with his companions. There was no proof between the two of them with regards to it. So the one with whom was the mortgaged item claimed that it was with a thousand, and the owner of the mortgaged item said, ‘But rather, it is with one hundred’. He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘(The burden) of proof is upon the one with whom is the mortgaged item that it is with a thousand; and if there does not happen to be a proof for him, so it is upon the depositor to swear the oath’.
