وَبِإِسْنَادِهِ وَبِإِسْنَادِهِ عَنِ الْجَارُودِ أَبِي الْمُنْذِرِ الْفَنَدِيِّ ، قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ : "إِذَا وَجَدْتَ الضَّالَّةَ فَلا تُغَيِّبْ وَلا تَكْتُمْ ، فَإِنْ عُرِفَتْ فَأَدِّهَا ، وَإِلا فَهُوَ مَالُ اللَّهِ يُؤْتِيهُ مَنْ يَشَاءُ "، لَمْ يَرْوِ هَذَيْنِ الْحَدِيثَيْنِ عَنْ هِلالِ بْنِ حِقٍّ قَاضِي الْبَصْرَةِ ، إِلا مُعْتَمِرُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ ، تَفَرَّدَ بِهِمَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى بْنِ مَيْمُونٍ
Sayyiduna Jarud Abu al-Munzir al-Qandi رضي الله عنه reports: The Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وسلم said: "When you find a lost item, do not conceal it, nor hide it. If it is recognized, return it to its owner; otherwise, Allah gives His wealth to whom He wills."
