وحَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، ح وحَدَّثَنِي أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ نَافِعٍ، وَاللَّفْظُ لَهُ، حَدَّثَنَا غُنْدَرٌ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ سَلَمَةَ بْنِ كُهَيْلٍ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ سُوَيْدَ بْنَ غَفَلَةَ، قَالَ: خَرَجْتُ أَنَا وَزَيْدُ بْنُ صُوحَانَ، وَسَلْمَانُ بْنُ رَبِيعَةَ، غَازِينَ، فَوَجَدْتُ سَوْطًا فَأَخَذْتُهُ، فَقَالَا لِي: دَعْهُ، فَقُلْتُ: لَا، وَلَكِنِّي أُعَرِّفُهُ، فَإِنْ جَاءَ صَاحِبُهُ، وَإِلَّا اسْتَمْتَعْتُ بِهِ، قَالَ: فَأَبَيْتُ عَلَيْهِمَا، فَلَمَّا رَجَعْنَا مِنْ غَزَاتِنَا، قُضِيَ لِي أَنِّي حَجَجْتُ، فَأَتَيْتُ الْمَدِينَةَ، فَلَقِيتُ أُبَيَّ بْنَ كَعْبٍ، فَأَخْبَرْتُهُ بِشَأْنِ السَّوْطِ وَبِقَوْلِهِمَا، فَقَالَ: إِنِّي وَجَدْتُ صُرَّةً فِيهَا مِائَةُ دِينَارٍ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَأَتَيْتُ بِهَا رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَالَ: «عَرِّفْهَا حَوْلًا»، قَالَ: فَعَرَّفْتُهَا فَلَمْ أَجِدْ مَنْ يَعْرِفُهَا، ثُمَّ أَتَيْتُهُ، فَقَالَ: «عَرِّفْهَا حَوْلًا»، فَعَرَّفْتُهَا، فَلَمْ أَجِدْ مَنْ يَعْرِفُهَا، ثُمَّ أَتَيْتُهُ، فَقَالَ: «عَرِّفْهَا حَوْلًا»، فَعَرَّفْتُهَا فَلَمْ أَجِدْ مَنْ يَعْرِفُهَا، فَقَالَ: «احْفَظْ عَدَدَهَا، وَوِعَاءَهَا، وَوِكَاءَهَا، فَإِنْ جَاءَ صَاحِبُهَا وَإِلَّا، فَاسْتَمْتِعْ بِهَا»، فَاسْتَمْتَعْتُ بِهَا، فَلَقِيتُهُ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ بِمَكَّةَ، فَقَالَ: لَا أَدْرِي بِثَلَاثَةِ أَحْوَالٍ أَوْ حَوْلٍ وَاحِدٍ.

I went out, and also Zaid bin Suhan and Salman bin Rabi'a for Jihad, and I found a whip and took it up. They said to me: Leave it. I said: No. but I will make announcement of it and if its owner comes (then I will return that), otherwise I will use it, and I refused them. When we returned from Jihad. by a good fortune for me, I performed Pilgrimage. I came to Medina and met Ubayy bin Ka'b رضی اللہ عنہ, and related to him the affair of the whip and their opinion (the opinion of Zaid bin Suhan and Salman b. Rabi'a) about it (i.e. I should throw it). Thereupon he said: I found a money bag during the lifetime of Allah's Messenger ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌ ) which contained one hundred dinars. I came to him along with it, and he said: Make an announcement of it for one year; so I announced it, but did not find anyone who could (claim it after) recognizing it. I again came to him and he said: Make announcement for one year. So I made announcement of it, but I found none who could recognize it. I came to him he said: Make announcement of it for one year. I made announcement of that but did not find one who could recognize it, whereupon he said: Preserve (in your mind) its number, its bag and its strap, and if its owner comes (then return that to him), otherwise make use of it. So I made use of that. I (Shu'ba) met him (Salama bin Kuhail) after this in Mecca, and he said: I do not know whether he said three years or one year.
