Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 22996 — Lost property: what is to be done
٢٢٩٩٦ - حدثنا أبو بكر قال: حدثنا زيد بن حباب عن عبد الرحمن بن شريح قال: حدثني أبو قبيل عن عبد اللَّه بن عمرو أن رجلًا قال: التقطت دينارًا، (فقال) (١): لا يأوي الضالة إلا ضال، قال: فأهوى (به) (٢) الرجل ليرمي به (فقال) (٣): لا تفعل، قال: فما أصنع (به) (٤)؟ قال: تُعرِّفه، فإن جاء صاحبه فرده ⦗١٢٦⦘ إليه وإلا فتصدق به (٥).
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Amr (may Allah be pleased with him) that a man said: I have found a dinar. He (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Only a person who has gone astray gives shelter to a lost item. The man bent to throw it away, and Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Amr (may Allah be pleased with him) said to him: Do not do that. He asked: Then what should I do with this dinar? He said: Announce it. If the owner is found, return it to him; otherwise, give it in charity on his behalf.
