وَ أُتِيَ عَلِيٌّ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ بِصَاحِبِ حَمَّامٍ وُضِعَتْ عِنْدَهُ اَلثِّيَابُ فَضَاعَتْ فَلَمْ يُضَمِّنْهُ وَ قَالَ "إِنَّمَا هُوَ أَمِينٌ".

Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib (a.s) was presented with the case of a bathhouse attendant with whom clothes were deposited, but they were lost. Imam (a.s) did not hold him liable and said: "He is merely a trustee."
