Hadith 1703

حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ ، حَدَّثَنَا سَلَمَةُ بْنُ كُهَيْلٍ ، بِإِسْنَادِهِ وَمَعْنَاهُ ، قَالَ فِي التَّعْرِيفِ : " قَالَ : عَامَيْنِ أَوْ ثَلَاثَةً ، وَقَالَ : اعْرِفْ عَدَدَهَا وَوِعَاءَهَا وَوِكَاءَهَا " ، زَادَ : " فَإِنْ جَاءَ صَاحِبُهَا فَعَرَفَ عَدَدَهَا وَوِكَاءَهَا فَادْفَعْهَا إِلَيْهِ " . قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ : لَيْسَ يَقُولُ هَذِهِ الْكَلِمَةَ إِلَّا حَمَّادٌ فِي هَذَا الْحَدِيثِ ، يَعْنِي فَعَرَفَ عَدَدَهَا .
The above mentioned tradition has also been transmitted by Salamah. Bin Kuhail through a different chain to the same effect. The version has ; about making the matter known he said ; “ two years or three. ” He said: Remember its number, its container and its string. The version adds: If its owner comes, and tells its number and its string, then give it to him. Abu Dawud said: None of the narrators said this word in this tradition except Hammad ; That is, “ If he tells its number. ”
