حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ عَمَّارٍ، حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ عَيَّاشٍ، حَدَّثَنَا شُرَحْبِيلُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا أُمَامَةَ، يَقُولُ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَقُولُ " الْعَارِيَةُ مُؤَدَّاةٌ وَالْمِنْحَةُ مَرْدُودَةٌ " .

Hisham ibn Ammar narrated to us: Ismail ibn Ayyash narrated to us: Shurahbil ibn Muslim said: I heard Abu Umamah say that he heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: “A borrowed item must be returned, and an animal lent for its milk must be returned.”
Notes and open questions — unreviewed
The Arabic distinguishes a general borrowed object (ariyah) from a milking animal lent for its milk (manihah); both return obligations are preserved.
