حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ حَدَّثَنِي أَحْمَدُ بْنُ أَيُّوبَ بْنِ رَاشِدٍ الْبَصْرِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَارِثِ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جُحَادَةَ، عَنْ سَلَمَةَ بْنِ كُهَيْلٍ، عَنْ سُوَيْدِ بْنِ غَفَلَةَ، عَنْ أُبَيِّ بْنِ كَعْبٍ، قَالَ: الْتَقَطْتُ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مِائَةَ دِينَارٍ، فَأَتَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ: "عَرِّفْهَا سَنَةً " فَعَرَّفْتُهَا سَنَةً، ثُمَّ أَتَيْتُهُ، فَقُلْتُ: قَدْ عَرَّفْتُهَا سَنَةً. قَالَ: "عَرِّفْهَا سَنَةً أُخْرَى " فَعَرَّفْتُهَا سَنَةً أُخْرَى، ثُمَّ أَتَيْتُهُ فِي الثَّالِثَةِ، فَقَالَ: "أَحْصِ عَدَدَهَا، ، ووِكَاءَهَا، وَاسْتَمْتِعْ بِهَا " (١)،

Translation

English translation

It is narrated from Suwaid (may Allah be pleased with him) that once Ubayy bin Ka'b (may Allah be pleased with him) said that during the blessed era of the Holy Prophet (ﷺ), I found one hundred dinars lying on the road. I asked the Holy Prophet (ﷺ) about it, so the Holy Prophet (ﷺ) said: Announce it for one year. I kept announcing it 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. (Eventually) he said: Keep in mind its quantity, its wrapper, and its binding well, and announce it for another year. If its owner comes, very good; otherwise, you may benefit from it. It is narrated from Suwaid (may Allah be pleased with him) that once I set out for Hajj with Zaid bin Suhan and Salman bin Rabee'ah... Then the narrator mentioned the entire hadith and at the end said: He said, keep in mind its quantity, its wrapper, and its binding well, and announce it for another year. If its owner comes, very good; otherwise, you may benefit from it.
