[Bava Batra 52a:1](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Bava%20Batra/r/52a:1)

קִבֵּל מִן הַקָּטָן – יַעֲשֶׂה לוֹ סְגוּלָּה, וְאִם מֵת – יַחֲזִיר לְיוֹרְשָׁיו.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
If one **accepted** a deposit **from a minor,** he cannot return it to him, as a minor is unable to properly safeguard the item. Instead, **he must make a safe investment [*segulla*] for him, and if** the minor **dies,** he **must return** it **to his heirs.**

וְכוּלָּן שֶׁאָמְרוּ בִּשְׁעַת מִיתָתָן: ״שֶׁל פְּלוֹנִי הֵן״, יַעֲשֶׂה כְּפֵירוּשָׁן. וְאִם לָאו, יַעֲשֶׂה פֵּירוּשׁ לְפֵירוּשָׁן.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**And** with regard to **all these** people, **who said at the time of their death** that the deposited item **belongs to so-and-so,** the bailee **should act as they** had **explained, and if** their explanation was **not** credible, the bailee **should form an explanation of their explanation,** i.e., ignore what they said.

דְּבֵיתְהוּ דְּרַבָּה בַּר בַּר חָנָה, כִּי קָא שָׁכְבָה, אֲמַרָה: ״הָנֵי כֵּיפֵי, דְּמָרְתָא וּבְנֵי בְרַתָּא״. אֲתָא לְקַמֵּיהּ דְּרַב, אֲמַר לֵיהּ: אִי מְהֵימְנָא לָךְ – עֲשֵׂה כְּפֵירוּשָׁהּ, וְאִי לָא – עֲשֵׂה פֵּירוּשׁ לְפֵירוּשָׁהּ.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
The Gemara relates: **When the wife of Rabba bar bar Ḥana was dying she said: These rings** that are in my possession **belong to Marta and the sons of her daughter.** Rabba bar bar Ḥana **came before Rav** to ask what he should do. Rav **said to him: If she is credible in your** eyes, **act as she** had **explained, and if not, form an explanation of her explanation,** i.e., ignore what she said, and as her heir, keep them for yourself.

וְאִיכָּא דְּאָמְרִי, הָכִי אֲמַר לֵיהּ: אִי אֲמִידָא לָךְ, עֲשֵׂה כְּפֵירוּשָׁהּ, וְאִי לָא – עֲשֵׂה פֵּירוּשׁ לְפֵירוּשָׁהּ.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**And there are** those **who say** that **this is what** Rav **said to him: If you assess** that it is likely that the rings were deposited with her, **act as she** had **explained, and if not, form an explanation of her explanation.**

מִן הַקָּטָן – יַעֲשֶׂה לוֹ סְגוּלָּה. מַאי ״סְגוּלָּה״? רַב חִסְדָּא אָמַר: סֵפֶר תּוֹרָה. רַבָּה בַּר רַב הוּנָא אָמַר: דִּיקְלָא דְּאָכֵל מִינֵּיהּ תַּמְרֵי.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
The *baraita* stated that if the bailee took a deposit **from a minor, he must make a safe investment for him.** The Gemara asks: **What** is meant by **a safe investment? Rav Ḥisda says:** The bailee should purchase **a Torah scroll** for the minor. **Rabba bar Rav Huna says:** He should purchase **a date palm, from which** the minor **will consume dates.**

וְלֹא לָאָב בְּנִכְסֵי הַבֵּן, וְלֹא לַבֵּן בְּנִכְסֵי הָאָב. אָמַר רַב יוֹסֵף: אֲפִילּוּ חָלְקוּ. רָבָא אָמַר: חָלְקוּ – לֹא.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
§ The mishna teaches: **And a father does not have** the ability to establish the presumption of ownership **with regard to a son’s property, and a son does not have** the ability to establish the presumption of ownership **with regard to a father’s property. Rav Yosef says: Even** if **they separated** and the son is no longer dependent on his father, the presumption of ownership still cannot be established by a father or son with regard to the other’s property. **Rava says:** If **they separated,** that is **not** the *halakha*, and the presumption of ownership can be established.

אָמַר רַב יִרְמְיָה מִדִּפְתִּי: עֲבַד רַב פַּפִּי עוֹבָדָא ״חָלְקוּ – לֹא״, כְּרָבָא. אָמַר רַב נַחְמָן בַּר יִצְחָק, אִישְׁתַּעִי לִי רַב חִיָּיא מֵהוֹרְמִיז אַרְדְּשִׁיר, דְּאִישְׁתַּעִי לֵיהּ רַב אַחָא בַּר יַעֲקֹב, מִשְּׁמֵיהּ דְּרַב נַחְמָן בַּר יַעֲקֹב: חָלְקוּ לֹא. וְהִלְכְתָא: חָלְקוּ לֹא. תַּנְיָא נָמֵי הָכִי: בֵּן שֶׁחָלַק, וְאִשְׁתּוֹ שֶׁנִּתְגָּרְשָׁה – הֲרֵי הֵן כִּשְׁאָר כׇּל אָדָם.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**Rav Yirmeya of Difti said: Rav Pappi performed an action** and ruled that if **they separated,** that is **not** the *halakha*, **in accordance with** the opinion of **Rava. Rav Naḥman bar Yitzḥak said** that **Rav Ḥiyya, from** the city of **Hurmiz Ardeshid, told me that Rav Aḥa bar Yaakov told him in the name of Rav Naḥman bar Yaakov:** If **they separated,** that is **not** the *halakha*. The Gemara notes: **And** this is the ***halakha*:** If **they separated,** that is **not** the *halakha*, and the presumption of ownership can be established. **This is also taught** in a *baraita*: **A son who separated** himself from his father’s finances **and a wife who became divorced are like all other people** with regard to establishing the presumption of ownership.

אִיתְּמַר: אֶחָד מִן הָאַחִין שֶׁהָיָה נוֹשֵׂא וְנוֹתֵן בְּתוֹךְ הַבַּיִת, וְהָיוּ אוֹנוֹת וּשְׁטָרוֹת יוֹצְאִין עַל שְׁמוֹ, וְאָמַר: שֶׁלִּי הֵם, שֶׁנָּפְלוּ לִי מִבֵּית אֲבִי אִמָּא – אָמַר רַב: עָלָיו לְהָבִיא רְאָיָה. וּשְׁמוּאֵל אָמַר: עַל הָאַחִין לְהָבִיא רְאָיָה. אָמַר שְׁמוּאֵל: מוֹדֶה לִי אַבָּא, שֶׁאִם מֵת – עַל הָאַחִין לְהָבִיא רְאָיָה.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
§ It **was stated:** There was a case of **one of the brothers** in a family **who was engaging in commerce in the house,** managing the family finances after the death of their father, **and there were bills of sale [*onot*] and** other **documents circulating with his name** appearing as the owner of the property and as a lender, **and** that brother **said:** The money and property **are mine, as they fell to me as an inheritance from the house of** the **father of** my **mother,** who is not the mother of the other brothers, **Rav says:** It is **upon him to bring proof** of ownership; otherwise the property is divided equally among the brothers. **And Shmuel says:** It is **upon the brothers to bring proof** that the money or property belonged to their common father and consequently now belongs to all of them. **Shmuel says: Abba,** i.e., Rav, **concedes to me that if** that brother **dies,** it is **upon the brothers to bring proof** in order to collect money from the deceased brother’s heirs.

מַתְקֵיף לַהּ רַב פָּפָּא: כְּלוּם טָעֲנִינַן לְהוּ לְיַתְמֵי, מִידֵּי דְּלָא טְעַן לְהוּ אֲבוּהוֹן? וְהָא רָבָא אַפֵּיק זוּגָא דְסַרְבָּלָא וְסִפְרָא דְאַגָּדְתָּא מִיַּתְמֵי, בְּלֹא רְאָיָה, בִּדְבָרִים הָעֲשׂוּיִם לְהַשְׁאִיל וּלְהַשְׂכִּיר –

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**Rav Pappa objects to** Shmuel’s addendum: Do **we claim on behalf of orphans anything that their father** could **not claim for them? But didn’t Rava remove a pair** of scissors used **for** cutting **garments and a book of *aggada* from orphans without** requiring the prior owner who had asked the orphans to return these items to bring **proof** of ownership, and he would rule the same **in** the case of all **items** with regard to **which it is common** for them **to be lent,** and the one in possession has no presumption of ownership?
