佛說目連問戒律中五百輕重事經 2.112

2.112

問：「弟子遠行寄師物、或師寄弟子，過期不還，或經年歲，可取用不？」答：「若去時無言，不得用。若知在，是有主物。若死，是四方僧物。」

Question: "If a disciple goes on a long journey and entrusts goods to his master, or a master entrusts them to a disciple, and the agreed time passes without return, or years go by, may one take and use them?" Answer: "If at departure nothing was said, they may not be used. If he is known to be alive, they are property that has an owner. If he is dead, they are property of the saṃgha of the four quarters."
