حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ ، عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ سَلَمَةَ ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ ، وَرَبِيعَةَ ، بِإِسْنَادِ قُتَيْبَةَ وَمَعْنَاهُ ، وَزَادَ فِيهِ : " فَإِنْ جَاءَ بَاغِيهَا فَعَرَفَ عِفَاصَهَا وَعَدَدَهَا فَادْفَعْهَا إِلَيْهِ " ،وقَالَ حَمَّادٌ أَيْضًا : عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ شُعَيْبٍ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، عَنْ جَدِّهِ ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، مِثْلَهُ . قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُد : وَهَذِهِ الزِّيَادَةُ الَّتِي زَادَ حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ فِي حَدِيثِ سَلَمَةَ بْنِ كُهَيْلٍ وَ يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ وَ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ وَ رَبِيعَةَ : " إِنْ جَاءَ صَاحِبُهَا فَعَرَفَ عِفَاصَهَا وَوِكَاءَهَا فَادْفَعْهَا إِلَيْهِ " لَيْسَتْ بِمَحْفُوظَةٍ ، فَعَرَفَ عِفَاصَهَا وَوِكَاءَهَا ، وَحَدِيثُ عُقْبَةَ بْنِ سُوَيْدٍ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، أَيْضًا ، قَالَ : " عَرِّفْهَا سَنَةً " ، وَحَدِيثُ عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ أَيْضًا ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، قَالَ : " عَرِّفْهَا سَنَةً " .
The above mentioned tradition has also been transmitted by Yahya bin Saeed and Rabiah through the chain of narrators mentioned by Qutaibah to the same effect. This version adds; if its seeker comes, and recognizes its container and its number, then give it to him. Hammad also narrated it from `Ubaid Allah bin Umar from Amr bin Shuaib, from his father, from his grandfather, from the Prophet ﷺ something similar. Abu Dawud said: This addition made by Hammad bin Salamah bin Kuhail, Yahya bin Saeed, `Ubaid Allah bin Umar and Rabiah; “if its owner comes and recognizes its container, and its string, ” is not guarded. The version narrated by Uqbah bin Suwaid on the authority of his father from the Prophet ﷺ has also the words: “make it known for a year”. The version of Umar bin al-Khattab has also been transmitted from the Prophet ﷺ. This version has: “Make it known for a year”.

Shaykh Umar Farooq Saeedi
1708. Commentary: The statement of Imam Abu Dawud rahimahullah that the aforementioned addition in the narration of Zayd bin Khalid al-Juhani is not preserved in the narration of Hammad bin Salamah is an error. Sufyan al-Thawri and Zayd bin Abi Unaysah are in agreement with him regarding this addition, as is mentioned in Sahih Muslim. (Munziri) (Sahih Muslim, al-Luqatah, Hadith: 1733) Imam al-Bukhari rahimahullah has narrated the report of Zayd bin Khalid with these very words through another chain. (Kitab fi al-Luqatah: Chapter: If the owner of the lost property is not found after a year, then it belongs to the one who found it.) Furthermore, words conveying the same meaning are present and preserved in the narration from Ubayy bin Ka‘b radi Allahu anhu in Abu Dawud’s Kitab al-Luqatah. This narration of Ubayy bin Ka‘b is also found in Sahih al-Bukhari.
