608 - حَدَّثَنَا الْحُمَيْدِيُّ قَالَ: ثنا سُفْيَانُ، قَالَ: سَمِعْنَاهُ مِنْ دَاوُدَ بْنِ شَابُورَ، وَيَعْقُوبَ بْنِ عَطَاءٍ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ شُعَيْبٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ جَدِّهِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّي اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي كَنْزٍ وَجَدَهُ رَجُلٌ: «إِنْ كُنْتَ وَجَدْتَهُ فِي قَرْيَةٍ مَسْكُونَةٍ، أَوْ فِي سَبِيلٍ مَيْتَاءَ فَعَرِّفْهُ، وَإِنْ كُنْتَ وَجَدْتَهُ فِي خَرِبَةٍ جَاهِلِيَّةٍ، أَوْ فِي قَرْيَةٍ غَيْرِ مَسْكُونَةٍ، أَوْ غَيْرِ سَبِيلِ مَيْتَاءَ فَفِيهِ، وَفِي الرِّكَازِ الْخُمْسُ»
Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Amr (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: A man found a treasure, so regarding it the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "If you found it in a residential area, then you should keep announcing it. But if you found it in the ruins of the pre-Islamic era, or in a non-residential area, or on a path away from the common thoroughfare, then in that case, payment of 'khums' (one-fifth) will be obligatory on it, just as it is on 'rikaz' (buried treasure)."
