وَ رَوَى اَلْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ كَانَ أَمِيرُ اَلْمُؤْمِنِينَ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ يَقُولُ: فِي اَلضَّالَّةِ يَجِدُهَا اَلرَّجُلُ فَيَنْوِي أَنْ يَأْخُذَ لَهَا جُعْلاً فَتَنْفُقُ قَالَ "هُوَ ضَامِنٌ لَهَا فَإِنْ لَمْ يَنْوِ أَنْ يَأْخُذَ لَهَا جُعْلاً فَنَفَقَتْ فَلاَ ضَمَانَ عَلَيْهِ ".

Al-Husayn ibn Zayd narrated from Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (a.s) from his father, Imam Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Baqir (a.s), who said: Commander of the Faithful (a.s) used to say regarding lost property found by someone who intends to take a reward for returning it, but it dies (or perishes): "He is liable for it. However, if he did not intend to take a reward and it dies (or perishes), then he is not liable for it."
