أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو سَعِيدِ بْنُ أَبِي عَمْرٍو، أنبأ أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ، ثنا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْحَمِيدِ الْحَارِثِيُّ، ثنا أَبُو أُسَامَةَ، عَنِ الْوَلِيدِ بْنِ كَثِيرٍ، حَدَّثَنِي عَمْرُو بْنُ شُعَيْبٍ، عَنْ عَمْرٍو وَعَاصِمٍ ابْنَىْ سُفْيَانَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ رَبِيعَةَ، أَنَّ سُفْيَانَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللهِ وَجَدَ عَيْبَةً، فَأَتَى بِهَا ⦗٣١٠⦘ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ، فَقَالَ: " عَرِّفْهَا سَنَةً، فَإِنْ عُرِفَتْ فَذَاكَ، وَإِلَّا فَهِيَ لَكَ، فَلَمْ تُعْرَفْ " فَلَقِيَهُ بِهَا الْقَابِلَ فِي الْمَوْسِمِ فَذَكَرَهَا لَهُ، فَقَالَ عُمَرُ: " هِيَ لَكَ؛ فَإِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَمَرَنَا بِذَلِكَ "، قَالَ: لَا حَاجَةَ لِي فِيهَا، فَقَبَضَهَا عُمَرُ فَجَعَلَهَا فِي بَيْتِ الْمَالِ وَرُوِّينَا عَنْ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهَا أَنَّ امْرَأَةً سَأَلَتْهَا عَنِ اللُّقَطَةِ، فَقَالَتْ: اسْتَمْتِعِي بِهَا.
Sayyiduna Sufyan bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) found a bag and brought it to Sayyiduna Umar bin al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him). Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "Announce it for a year; if it is recognised, well and good, otherwise it is yours." It was not recognised, so he met him with it the following year during the (Hajj) season and mentioned it to him. Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "It is yours, for the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) commanded us to do so." He said: "I have no need of it." So Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) took it and placed it in the public treasury (bayt al-mal).
It has also been narrated to us from Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) that a woman asked her about a found item, and Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) said: "Make use of it."
