حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ الْخَلاَّلُ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ نُمَيْرٍ، وَيَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ الثَّوْرِيِّ، عَنْ سَلَمَةَ بْنِ كُهَيْلٍ، عَنْ سُوَيْدِ بْنِ غَفَلَةَ، قَالَ خَرَجْتُ مَعَ زَيْدِ بْنِ صُوحَانَ وَسَلْمَانَ بْنِ رَبِيعَةَ فَوَجَدْتُ سَوْطًا قَالَ ابْنُ نُمَيْرٍ فِي حَدِيثِهِ فَالْتَقَطْتُ سَوْطًا فَأَخَذْتُهُ قَالاَ دَعْهُ . فَقُلْتُ لاَ أَدَعُهُ تَأْكُلُهُ السِّبَاعُ لآخُذَنَّهُ فَلأَسْتَمْتِعَنَّ بِهِ . فَقَدِمْتُ عَلَى أُبَىِّ بْنِ كَعْبٍ فَسَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ ذَلِكَ وَحَدَّثْتُهُ الْحَدِيثَ فَقَالَ أَحْسَنْتَ أَنَا وَجَدْتُ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم صُرَّةً فِيهَا مِائَةُ دِينَارٍ . قَالَ فَأَتَيْتُهُ بِهَا فَقَالَ لِي " عَرِّفْهَا حَوْلاً " . فَعَرَّفْتُهَا حَوْلاً فَمَا أَجِدُ مَنْ يَعْرِفُهَا ثُمَّ أَتَيْتُهُ بِهَا فَقَالَ " عَرِّفْهَا حَوْلاً آخَرَ " . فَعَرَّفْتُهَا ثُمَّ أَتَيْتُهُ بِهَا فَقَالَ " عَرِّفْهَا حَوْلاً آخَرَ " . وَقَالَ " أَحْصِ عِدَّتَهَا وَوِعَاءَهَا وَوِكَاءَهَا فَإِنْ جَاءَ طَالِبُهَا فَأَخْبَرَكَ بِعِدَّتِهَا وَوِعَائِهَا وَوِكَائِهَا فَادْفَعْهَا إِلَيْهِ وَإِلاَّ فَاسْتَمْتِعْ بِهَا " . قَالَ هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ .
Suwaid bin Ghafalah said: "I Went Out With Zaid Bin Suhan And Salman Bin Rabi'Ah, And Found A Whip." In His Narration Ibn Numair (One Of The Narrators) Said: "I Found A Lost Whip And Took It. They Said: 'Leave It'. I Said: 'I Will Not Leave It To Be Eaten By Predators. I Will Take It To Make Use Of It.' So I Met Up With Ubayy Bin Ka'B And Asked Him About That. So He Narrated The Hadith, He Said: 'That Is Fine. I Found A Sack Containing One Hundred Dinar During The Lifetime Of The Messenger Of Allah (ﷺ)' He Said: 'So I Brought It To Him. He Said To Me: "Make A Public Announcement About It For One Year." So I Announced It For A Year But Did Not Find Anyone To Claim It. Then I Brought It To Him. He Said To Me: "Make A Public Announcement About It For Another Year." So I Announced It For A Year But Did Not Find Anyone To Claim It. Then I Brought It To Him. He Said: "Make A Public Announcement About If For Another Year." And He Said: "Remember Its Amount, Its Container And Its String. If Someone Comes Seeking It And Informs You Of Its Amount And Its String, Then Give It To Him, Otherwise Use It."
