Musnad Abi Ya'la 1073 — Sayyiduna Ali came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ
حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ وَكِيعٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَكْرٍ ، عَنِ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ ، أَخْبَرَنِي أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ ، أَنَّ شَرِيكَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ أَبِي نَمِرٍ حَدَّثَهُ عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ يَسَارٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - أَنَّ عَلِيًّا أَتَاهُ بِدِينَارٍ وَجَدَهُ فِي السُّوقِ ، فَقَالَ : « عَرِّفْهُ ثَلَاثًا » ، فَلَمْ يَجِدْ مَنْ يَعْرِفُهُ ، فَرَجَعَ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - فَأَخْبَرَهُ ، فَقَالَ : « كُلْهُ ، أَوْ : شَأْنَكَ بِهِ » . فَابْتَاعَ مِنْهُ بِثَلَاثَةِ دَرَاهِمَ شَعِيرًا ، وَبِثَلَاثَةِ دَرَاهِمَ تَمْرًا ، وَابْتَاعَ بِدِرْهَمٍ لَحْمًا ، وَبِدِرْهَمٍ زَيْتًا ، وَفَضَلَ عِنْدَهُ دِرْهَمٌ - وَكَانَ الصَّرْفُ أَحَدَ عَشَرَ بِدِينَارٍ - حَتَّى إِذَا كَانَ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ جَاءَ صَاحِبُهُ فَعَرَفَهُ ، فَقَالَ لَهُ عَلِيٌّ : أَمَرَنِي رَسُولُ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - بِأَكْلِهِ . فَانْطَلَقَ صَاحِبُهُ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - فَذَكَرَ ذَلِكَ لَهُ كُلَّهُ ، فَقَالَ لِعَلِيٍّ : « رُدَّهُ عَلَى الرَّجُلِ » . فَقَالَ : قَدْ أَكَلْتُهُ . قَالَ النَّبِيُّ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : « إِنْ جَاءَنَا شَيْءٌ أَدَّيْنَاهُ إِلَيْكَ » .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id al-Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) that Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) with a dinar which he had found lying in the market. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Announce it three times." So he announced it, but he found no one who recognised it (that is, who was its owner). Then he came back to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and informed him of the situation, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Eat it, or use it as you wish." So with it he bought barley for three dirhams, dates for three dirhams, meat for one dirham and oil for one dirham, and one dirham remained with him; at that time a dinar was exchanged for eleven dirhams. Some time later its owner came and identified it. Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said to him: "The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered me to eat it." Then its owner went to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and told him the whole story, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) said to Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him): "Return this amount to the man." He said: (O Messenger of Allah!) I have already eaten it. So the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said (to the owner): "If some wealth comes to us, we will pay this amount to you."
