2400 - حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ الْمُسْتَمِرِّ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، ح وحَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ حَكِيمٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي عَدِيٍّ، جَمِيعًا عَنْ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ، عَنْ سَمُرَةَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، قَالَ: «عَلَى الْيَدِ مَا أَخَذَتْ حَتَّى تُؤَدِّيَهُ»

Commentary
Debt, something borrowed, and entrusted things, must be returned after use. Their return is an obligation. Orders to return these things are there in the Noble Qur'an and Sound Traditions. It is mentioned in the Noble Qur'an, Surah Al-Mu'minun, Verse 8: "Those who are faithfully true to their trusts and to their covenants." (Those are indeed successful.)
