Hadith 3087

حَدَّثَنَا جَعْفَرُ بْنُ مُسَافِرٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي فُدَيْكٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا الزَّمْعِيُّ ، عَنْ عَمَّتِهِ قُرَيْبَةَ بِنْتِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ وَهْبٍ ، عَنْ أُمِّهَا كَرِيمَةَ بِنْتِ الْمِقْدَادِ ،عَنْ ضُبَاعَةَ بِنْتِ الزُّبَيْرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ بْنِ هَاشِمٍ ، أَنَّهَا أَخْبَرَتْهَا ، قَالَتْ : ذَهَبَ الْمِقْدَادُ لِحَاجَتِهِ بِبَقِيعِ الْخَبْخَبَةِ ، فَإِذَا جُرَذٌ يُخْرِجُ مِنْ جُحْرٍ دِينَارًا ، ثُمَّ لَمْ يَزَلْ يُخْرِجُ دِينَارًا دِينَارًا حَتَّى أَخْرَجَ سَبْعَةَ عَشَرَ دِينَارًا ، ثُمَّ أَخْرَجَ خِرْقَةً حَمْرَاءَ يَعْنِي فِيهَا دِينَارٌ ، فَكَانَتْ ثَمَانِيَةَ عَشَرَ دِينَارًا ، فَذَهَبَ بِهَا إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَأَخْبَرَهُ وَقَالَ لَهُ : خُذْ صَدَقَتَهَا ، فَقَالَ لَهُ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " هَلْ هَوَيْتَ إِلَى الْجُحْرِ ؟ قَالَ : لَا ، فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : بَارَكَ اللَّهُ لَكَ فِيهَا " .
Narrated Dubaah daughter of az-Zubayr ibn Abdul Muttalib: Al-Miqdad went to Baqi' al-Khabkhabah for a certain need. He found a mouse taking out a dinar from a hole. It then continued to take out dinars one by one until it took out seventeen dinars. It then took out a red purse containing a dinar. There were thus eighteen dinars. He took them to the Prophet ﷺ, informed him and said to him: Take its sadaqah. The Prophet ﷺ asked him: Did you extend your hand toward the hole? He replied: No. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ then said: May Allah bless you in it.

Explanation & Benefits
Shaykh Umar Farooq Saeedi
Benefits and Issues:
This narration is weak in its chain of transmission.
The commentators of hadith write:
Whoever has not dug a place,
that is not rikaz (buried treasure), but rather is like lost property (luqta).
And in this, the fifth portion does not have to be paid.
Rather, it should first be announced.
After that, it may be used for one’s own purposes.
(Khattabi)
