Hadith 154
وَعَنْ حَكِيمِ بْنِ حِزَامٍ ‏- رضى الله عنه ‏- { أَنَّهُ كَانَ يَشْتَرِطُ عَلَى اَلرَّجُلِ إِذَا أَعْطَاهُ مَالًا مُقَارَضَةً: أَنْ لَا تَجْعَلَ مَالِي فِي كَبِدٍ رَطْبَةٍ, وَلَا تَحْمِلَهُ فِي بَحْرٍ, وَلَا تَنْزِلَ بِهِ فِي بَطْنِ مَسِيلٍ, فَإِنْ فَعَلْتَ شَيْئًا مِنْ ذَلِكَ فَقَدَ ضَمِنْتَ مَالِي } رَوَاهُ اَلدَّارَقُطْنِيُّ, وَرِجَالُهُ ثِقَاتٌ 1‏ .‏
al-Hakim bin Hazim (RA):

He used to make a condition on the man to whom he gave his property in al-Muqaradah (to trade with, and the profit being shared between them), that: "You should not trade with my property in living beings, and do not transport it by sea, and do not settle with it at the bottom of a river-bed; and if you do any of the aforesaid acts you should then guarantee my property." [ad-Daraqutni reported it and its narrators are reliable (thiqah)].
