حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو كَامِلٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَنَّ يَزِيدَ بْنَ زُرَيْعٍ حَدَّثَهُمْ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا حُمَيْدٌ يَعْنِي الطَّوِيلَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ يُوسُفَ بْنِ مَاهَكَ الْمَكِّيِّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ كُنْتُ أَكْتُبُ لِفُلَانٍ نَفَقَةَ أَيْتَامٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏كَانَ وَلِيَّهُمْ فَغَالَطُوهُ بِأَلْفِ دِرْهَمٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَأَدَّاهَا إِلَيْهِمْ فَأَدْرَكْتُ لَهُمْ مِنْ مَالِهِمْ مِثْلَيْهَا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ قُلْتُ:‏‏‏‏ أَقْبِضُ الْأَلْفَ الَّذِي ذَهَبُوا بِهِ مِنْكَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ لَا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏يَقُولُ:‏‏‏‏ أَدِّ الْأَمَانَةَ إِلَى مَنِ ائْتَمَنَكَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَلَا تَخُنْ مَنْ خَانَكَ .

I used to write (the account of) the expenditure incurred on orphans who were under the guardianship of so-and-so. They cheated him by one thousand dirhams and he paid these (this amount) to them. I then got double the property which they deserved. I said (to the man: Take one thousand (dirhams) which they have taken from you (by cheating). He said: No, my father has told me that he heard the Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم say: Pay the deposit to him who deposited it with you, and do not betray him who betrays you.
