Jami at-Tirmidhi 1266 (Book 14, Hadith 68) #26841
Responsibility of Borrowed Things

SUMMARY: The Prophet ﷺ taught that the possessor of a borrowed thing is liable for it until it is returned.

Narrated Qatadah: From Al-Hasan, from Samurah, that the Prophet said: "Upon the hand is what it took, until it is returned". Qatadah said: "Then Al-Hasan forgot, so he said: 'It is something you entrusted, he is not liable for it'. " Meaning the borrowed property. Abu 'Eisa said: This Hadith is Hasan Sahih. Some of the people pf knowledge, among the Companions of the Prophet and others, followed this Hadith. They said that the possessor of the borrowed thing is liable. This is the view of Ash-Shafi'i and Ahmad. Some of the people of knowledge among the Companions and others said that the possessor of the borrowed this is not liable unless there is dispute. This is the view of Sufyan Ath-Thawri and the people of Al-Kufah, and it is the view of Ishaq.
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي عَدِيٍّ، عَنْ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ، عَنْ سَمُرَةَ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ قَالَ ‏ "‏ عَلَى الْيَدِ مَا أَخَذَتْ حَتَّى تُؤَدِّيَ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ قَتَادَةُ ثُمَّ نَسِيَ الْحَسَنُ فَقَالَ هُوَ أَمِينُكَ لاَ ضَمَانَ عَلَيْهِ ‏.‏ يَعْنِي الْعَارِيَةَ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ ‏.‏ وَقَدْ ذَهَبَ بَعْضُ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ وَغَيْرِهِمْ إِلَى هَذَا وَقَالُوا يَضْمَنُ صَاحِبُ الْعَارِيَةِ ‏.‏ وَهُوَ قَوْلُ الشَّافِعِيِّ وَأَحْمَدَ ‏.‏ وَقَالَ بَعْضُ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ وَغَيْرِهِمْ لَيْسَ عَلَى صَاحِبِ الْعَارِيَةِ ضَمَانٌ إِلاَّ أَنْ يُخَالِفَ ‏.‏ وَهُوَ قَوْلُ الثَّوْرِيِّ وَأَهْلِ الْكُوفَةِ وَبِهِ يَقُولُ إِسْحَاقُ

QUICK LESSONS:
Take care of things you borrow and always return them in good condition

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith teaches us about the responsibility we have when we borrow something from someone else. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said that whoever takes something on loan must take care of it until they return it to its rightful owner. This means that if something happens to the item while in our possession, then we are responsible for replacing or repairing it. Some scholars believe that this responsibility only applies if there is a dispute between the borrower and lender, while others believe that this responsibility applies regardless of any disputes. Either way, this hadith reminds us to be careful with things we borrow and to always return them in good condition.
