Hadith 731

أَخْبَرَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ أَبِي خَالِدٍ، عَنِ الشَّعْبِيِّ قَالَ: جَاءَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى عَلِيٍّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ فَقَالَ: إِنِّي وَجَدْتُ أَلْفًا وَخَمْسَ مِائَةِ دِرْهَمٍ فِي خَرِبَةٍ بِالسَّوَادِ، فَقَالَ عَلِيٌّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ: أَمَا لَأَقْضِيَنَّ فِيهَا قَضَاءً بَيِّنًا، إِنْ كُنْتَ وَجَدْتَهَا فِي قَرْيَةٍ يُؤَدِّي خَرَاجَهَا قَرْيَةٌ أُخْرَى فَهِيَ لِأَهْلِ تِلْكَ الْقَرْيَةِ، وَإِنْ كُنْتَ وَجَدْتَهَا فِي قَرْيَةٍ لَيْسَ يُؤَدِّي خَرَاجَهَا قَرْيَةٌ أُخْرَى فَلَكَ أَرْبَعَةُ أَخْمَاسٍ، وَلَنَا الْخُمُسُ، ثُمَّ الْخُمُسُ لَكَ.
It is narrated from Sha'bi (may Allah have mercy on him) who states that a man came to Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) and said: I have found fifteen hundred dirhams in an uninhabited place in the region of Sawad. Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I will give a very clear ruling on this. If you found it in such an uninhabited place that is adjacent to another settlement, then this money belongs to the people of that settlement. And if you found it in such a settlement whose uninhabited area is not adjacent to another, then four-fifths are for you and one-fifth is for us, then another fifth is for you.
