1124 صحيح حديث أُبَيِّ بْنِ كَعْبٍ رضي الله عنه، قَالَ: وَجَدْتُ صُرَّةً عَلَى عَهْدِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فِيهَا مِائَةُ دِينَارٍ، فَأَتَيْتُ بِهَا النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَقَالَ: عَرِّفْهَا حَوْلاً فَعَرَّفْتُهَا حَوْلاً، ثمَّ أَتَيْتُ، فَقَالَ: عَرِّفهَا حَوْلاً فَعَرَّفْتُهَا حَوْلاً، ثُمَّ أَتَيْتُهُ، فَقَالَ: عَرِّفْهَا حَوْلاً فَعَرَّفْتُهَا حَوْلاً، ثُمَّ أَتَيْتُهُ الرَّابِعَةَ فَقَالَ: اعْرِفْ عِدَّتَهَا وَوِكَاءَهَا وَوِعَاءَهَا، فَإِنْ جَاءَ صَاحِبُهَا، وَإِلاَّ اسْتَمْتِعْ بِهَا
Hazrat Ubayy bin Ka'b (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that during the time of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), I found a pouch in which there were one hundred dinars. I took it to the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him). He said, "Announce it for one year." I announced it for one year and then presented myself (saying the owner has still not been found). The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said, "Announce it for another year." I announced it for another year and then presented myself. This time too, he said, "Announce it for another year." I again announced it for a year, and when I presented myself the fourth time, the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said, "Keep in mind the amount of money, the string of the pouch, and its appearance. If its owner comes, give it to him; otherwise, spend it on your needs."
