Loss of Deposit Money

Question
A person has a deposit for another person and has placed this money in a safe place for keeping funds, but this money has been lost. Is the depositor liable?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: If he has preserved it in the same way he preserves his wealth, and he has not fallen short in that, then there is no liability on him, and God knows best.
