al-Sharif al-Radi (d. 406 AH) · Thaqalayn library edition, reproduced verbatim
وَلَا تَأْخُذَنَّ عَوْداً، وَلَا هَرِمَةً، وَلَا مَكْسُورَةً، وَلَا مَهْلُوسَةً، وَلَا ذَاتَ عَوَارٍ. وَلَا تَأْمَنَنَّ عَلَيْهَا إِلَّا مَنْ تَثِقُ بِدِينِهِ، رَافِقاً بِمَالِ الْمُسْلِمِينَ حَتَّى يُوَصِّلَهُ إِلَى وَلِيِّهِمْ فَيَقْسِمَهُ بَيْنَهُمْ. وَلَا تُوَكِّلْ بِهَا إِلَّا نَاصِحاً شَفِيقاً، وَأَمِيناً حَفِيظاً، غَيْرَ مُعْنِفٍ وَلَا مُجْحِفٍ، وَلَا مُلْغِبٍ وَلَا مُتْعِبٍ. ثُمَّ احْدُرْ إِلَيْنَا مَا اجْتَمَعَ عِنْدَكَ، نُصَيِّرْهُ حَيْثُ أَمَرَ اللهُ بِهِ.
Do not take an old, decrepit, broken-limbed, sick or unsound animal. Do not entrust the animals (for custody) except to one whom you trust to take care of Muslims’ property till he hands it over to their chief who will distribute it. Do not entrust it to anyone except he who is a well wisher, God-fearing, trustworthy and watchful, and who is not harsh on Muslims’ property, nor makes them run too much, nor tires them, nor labours them. Then send to us all that you have collected and we shall deal with it as Allāh has ordered.
