Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 22040 — A man who owes a debt to another
٢٢٠٤٠ - حدثنا أبو بكر قال: حدثنا شريك عن عامر (بن) (١) شقيق عن أبي وائل قال: اشترى عبد اللَّه جارية بسبعمائة درهم فغاب صاحبها (فعرفها) (٢) سنة (أو) (٣) قال: حولا -ثم خرج إلى المسجد وجعل يتصدق ويقول: اللهم فله، فإن ⦗٤٤٥⦘ (أبى) (٤) (فعليّ وإلي) (٥)، ثم قال: هكذا فاصنعوا باللقطة أو بالضالة (٦).
Abu Wa'il said: Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) bought a slave girl for seven hundred dirhams. The payment had not yet been made when the owner of the slave girl disappeared. Sayyiduna Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) kept having it announced for a year. Then he went to the mosque and began to give her price in charity, saying all the while: "O Allah, this is on his behalf; and if he refuses, then it will be on me and to my account." Then he said: "Do likewise with every lost item or stray animal."
