قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ: "هَكَذَا حَدَّثَنَاهُ أَبُو مَعْمَرٍ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ سَعْدٍ، وَقَالَ فِيهِ: عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ الْأَسْوَدِ، وَخَالَفَ أَبُو مَعْمَرٍ رِوَايَةَ مَنْ رَوَاهُ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ سَعْدٍ، لِأَنَّهُ رَوَاهُ عَدَدٌ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ سَعْدٍ، وَقَالُوا فِيهِ: عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ الْأَسْوَدِ " (١)، حَدِيثُ سُوَيْدِ بْنِ غَفَلَةَ، عَنْ أُبَيِّ بْنِ كَعْبٍ، ٢١١٦٦ - حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، وَحَدَّثَنَا، عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ نُمَيْرٍ، أَخْبَرَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ سَلَمَةَ بْنِ كُهَيْلٍ، حَدَّثَنِي سُوَيْدُ بْنُ غَفَلَةَ، قَالَ: خَرَجْتُ مَعَ زَيْدِ بْنِ صُوحَانَ وَسَلْمَانَ بْنِ رَبِيعَةَ، حَتَّى إِذَا كُنَّا بِالْعُذَيْبِ، الْتَقَطْتُ سَوْطًا، فَقَالَا لِي: أَلْقِهِ، فَأَبَيْتُ، فَلَمَّا قَدِمْتُ الْمَدِينَةَ لَقِيتُ أُبَيَّ بْنَ كَعْبٍ، فَذَكَرْتُ ذَلِكَ لَهُ، فَقَالَ: الْتَقَطْتُ مِائَةَ دِينَارٍ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَسَأَلْتُهُ، فَقَالَ: "عَرِّفْهَا سَنَةً " فَعَرَّفْتُهَا سَنَةً، فَلَمْ أَجِدْ أَحَدًا يَعْرِفُهَا. قَالَ: فَقَالَ: "اعْرِفْ عَدَدَهَا وَوِعَاءَهَا وَوِكَاءَهَا، ثُمَّ عَرِّفْهَا سَنَةً، فَإِنْ جَاءَ صَاحِبُهَا، وَإِلَّا فَهِيَ، ، كَسَبِيلِ مَالِكَ " وَهَذَا لَفْظُ وَكِيعٍ. وَقَالَ ابْنُ نُمَيْرٍ، فِي حَدِيثِهِ: فَقَالَ: "عَرِّفْهَا " فَعَرَّفْتُهَا حَوْلًا، ثُمَّ أَتَيْتُهُ، فَقَالَ: "عَرِّفْهَا " فَعَرَّفْتُهَا حَوْلًا، ثُمَّ أَتَيْتُهُ، فَقَالَ: "عَرِّفْهَا " فَعَرَّفْتُهَا حَوْلًا، ثُمَّ أَتَيْتُهُ، فَقَالَ: "اعْلَمْ عِدَّتَهَا وَوِعَاءَهَا وَوِكَاءَهَا، فَإِنْ جَاءَ أَحَدٌ يُخْبِرُكَ بِعِدَّتِهَا وَوِعَائِهَا وَوِكَائِهَا، فَأَعْطِهَا إِيَّاهُ، وَإِلَّا فَاسْتَمْتِعْ بِهَا " (١)، ،

Translation

English translation

It is narrated from Suwaid (may Allah be pleased with him) that once I went out with Zaid bin Suhan and Salman bin Rabee’ah. When we reached the place of ‘Adheeb, I found a whip lying on the way. Both of them said to me, “Throw it away,” but I refused. Upon reaching Madinah Munawwarah, I met Ubayy bin Ka’b (may Allah be pleased with him) and mentioned this incident to him. He said that during the blessed era of the Holy Prophet (ﷺ), I once found one hundred dinars lying on the way. I asked the Holy Prophet (ﷺ) about it, and he said, “Announce it for one year.” I kept announcing for one year, but I did not find anyone who could identify it. (I then presented myself again, and) the Holy Prophet (ﷺ) again ordered me to announce it for another year. (Finally,) he said, “Keep in mind its amount, its wrapper, and its binding well, and announce it for another year. If its owner comes, very good; otherwise, you may benefit from it.”
