Ownership of buried treasure explained
Hadith 896
وَبِهَذَا، عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: " اشْتَرَى رَجُلٌ مِنْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ مِنْ آخَرَ أَرْضًا فَأَصَابَ فِيهَا جَرَّةً مِنْ ذَهَبٍ مَخْتُومَةً، فَقَالَ لِلَّذِي بَاعَ الْأَرْضَ: خُذْ جَرَّتَكَ هَذِهِ فَإِنِّي إِنَّمَا ابْتَعْتُ الْأَرْضَ وَلَمْ أَبْتَعِ الذَّهَبَ، فَقَالَ الْآخَرُ: أَتَرُدُّ عَلَيَّ مَالًا قَدْ نَزَعَهُ اللَّهُ مِنِّي؟ فَاخْتَصَمَا إِلَى قَاضٍ، فَقَالَ: أَلَكُمَا أَوْلَادٌ؟ فَقَالَا: نَعَمْ، قَالَ: هَذَا لِي غُلَامٌ، وَقَالَ الْآخَرُ: لِي جَارِيَةٌ، قَالَ: فَأَنْكِحُوا أَحَدَهُمَا الْآخَرَ وَأَعْطُوهُمَا الْمَالَ فَلْيَسْتَعِينَا مِنْهُ وَلْيَتَصَدَّقَا ".
It is narrated with this chain: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: "A man from the Children of Israel bought land from another man, and he found in it a pot of gold which was sealed. So he said to the seller of the land: Take your pot, for I bought the land, I did not buy the gold. The other man said: Do you want to return to me the wealth which Allah has taken from me? So they both brought the case before a judge. The judge said: Do either of you have children? They said: Yes. One said: I have a son, and the other said: I have a daughter. He said: Then marry one to the other, and give this wealth to both of them, so they may spend it on themselves and also give charity from it."
