Narrated by اسم مبهم
Narrated Yusuf ibn Malik al-Makki: 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 ﷺ say: Pay the deposit to him who deposited it with you, and do not betray him who betrays you.

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
