حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ كَثِيرٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَخْبَرَنَا شُعْبَةُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ سَلَمَةَ بْنِ كُهَيْلٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ سُوَيْدِ بْنِ غَفَلَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ غَزَوْتُ مَعَ زَيْدِ بْنِ صُوحَانَ وَ سَلْمَانَ بْنِ رَبِيعَةَ فَوَجَدْتُ سَوْطًا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَا لِيَ:‏‏‏‏ اطْرَحْهُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقُلْتُ:‏‏‏‏ لَا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَلَكِنْ إِنْ وَجَدْتُ صَاحِبَهُ وَإِلَّا اسْتَمْتَعْتُ بِهِ فَحَجَجْتُ فَمَرَرْتُ عَلَى الْمَدِينَةِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَسَأَلْتُ أُبَيَّ بْنَ كَعْبٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ:‏‏‏‏ وَجَدْتُ صُرَّةً فِيهَا مِائَةُ دِينَارٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَأَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ:‏‏‏‏ عَرِّفْهَا حَوْلًا ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَعَرَّفْتُهَا حَوْلًا ثُمَّ أَتَيْتُهُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ:‏‏‏‏ عَرِّفْهَا حَوْلًا ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَعَرَّفْتُهَا حَوْلًا ثُمَّ أَتَيْتُهُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ:‏‏‏‏ عَرِّفْهَا حَوْلًا ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَعَرَّفْتُهَا حَوْلًا ثُمَّ أَتَيْتُهُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقُلْتُ:‏‏‏‏ لَمْ أَجِدْ مَنْ يَعْرِفُهَا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ:‏‏‏‏ احْفَظْ عَدَدَهَا وَوِكَاءَهَا وَوِعَاءَهَا فَإِنْ جَاءَ صَاحِبُهَا وَإِلَّا فَاسْتَمْتِعْ بِهَا ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَقَالَ:‏‏‏‏ وَلَا أَدْرِي أَثَلَاثًا قَالَ عَرِّفْهَا أَوْ مَرَّةً وَاحِدَةً.

I fought along with Zayd Ibn Suhan and Sulayman ibn Rabiah. I found a whip. They said to me: Throw it away. I said: No; if I find its owner (I shall give it to him); if not, I shall use it. Then I performed hajj; and when I reached Madina, I asked Ubayy Ibn Kab رضی اللہ عنہ . He said: I found a purse which contained one hundred dinars; so I came to the Prophet صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم. He said to me: Make the matter known for a year. I made it known for a year and then came to him. He then said to me: Make the matter known for a year. So I made it known for a year. I then (again) came to him. He said to me: Make the matter known for a year. Then I came to him and said: I did not find anyone who realises it. He said: Remember, its number, its container and its tie. If its owner comes, (give it to him), otherwise use it yourself. He (the narrator Shubah) said: I do not know whether he said the word make the matter known three times or once.
