He does not make good what is lost while in possession of others. The fruit of the date palms under pledge is the property of the pledger, so are the proceeds of houses. A child born to a slave woman while she constitutes a pledge, is also a pledge. The property of a slave cannot be a pledge except where such a thing is stipulated. And in respect of pledges, what is lost while in the custody of a person trusted is borne by the person who made the pledge.
Articles borrowed are to be taken back to their true owners.
A borrower shall be under an obligation to make good what got lost in his possession of consumable articles, but not of things he cannot consume such as a slave or an animal. Of the latter he is only liable to make good what is lost when he exceeded all reasonable limits. If a keeper of a depository claimed to have returned the article entrusted to him, he is to be believed. But if witnesses were called to see the articles entrusted to him, then he cannot be free from liability to make good any loss or damage, until he in his turn calls in witnesses to see him return his charge to its rightful owner. If a keeper claims that the articles put under his charge have perished, he is to be believed also, under any circumstances.
