أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو سَعِيدِ بْنُ أَبِي عَمْرٍو، ثنا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ الْأَصَمُّ، أنبأ الرَّبِيعُ قَالَ: قَالَ الشَّافِعِيُّ حِكَايَةً، عَنْ رَجُلٍ، عَنْ شُعْبَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي قَيْسٍ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ هُزَيْلًا يَقُولُ: رَأَيْتُ عَبْدَ اللهِ يَعْنِي ابْنَ مَسْعُودٍ أَتَاهُ رَجُلٌ بِصُرَّةٍ مَخْتُومَةٍ، فَقَالَ: قَدْ عَرَّفْتُهَا وَلَمْ أَجِدْ مَنْ يَعْرِفُهَا، قَالَ: " اسْتَمْتِعْ بِهَا " قَالَ الشَّافِعِيُّ: وَهَكَذَا السُّنَّةُ الثَّابِتَةُ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، وَرَوَوْا حَدِيثًا عَنْ عَامِرٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ أَنَّهُ اشْتَرَى جَارِيَةً، فَذَهَبَ صَاحِبُهَا فَتَصَدَّقَ بِثَمَنِهَا وَقَالَ: اللهُمَّ عَنْ صَاحِبِهَا، فَإِنْ كَرِهَ فَلِي وَعَلَيَّ الْغُرْمُ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: وَهَكَذَا يُفْعَلُ بِاللُّقَطَةِ، فَخَالَفُوا السُّنَّةَ فِي اللُّقَطَةِ الَّتِي لَا حُجَّةَ مَعَهَا، وَخَالَفُوا حَدِيثَ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ الَّذِي يُوَافِقُ السُّنَّةَ، وَهُوَ عِنْدَهُمْ ثَابِتٌ، وَاحْتَجُّوا بِهَذَا الْحَدِيثِ، وَهُمْ يُخَالِفُونَهُ فِيمَا هُوَ فِيهِ بِعَيْنِهِ قَالَ الشَّيْخُ: وَقَدْ رُوِيَ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ مِنْ قَوْلِهِ مَا يُوَافِقُ قَوْلَ الْعِرَاقِيِّينَ.
Huzayl (may Allah have mercy on him) said: I saw Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) when a man came to him with a sealed purse and said: "I have announced it, but no one has recognised it." Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "Make use of it."
Imam al-Shafi'i (may Allah have mercy on him) said: This is what is established from the Sunnah of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). And they narrated a hadith from Amir, from his father Abdullah (may Allah have mercy on him), that Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) bought a slave-girl; her owner went away, so he gave her price in charity and said: 'Allahumma hadha 'an rabbiha' (O Allah, this is on behalf of her owner); "If he disapproves, then it is mine and its price is upon me." Then he said: "This is how a found item is to be dealt with." They opposed the Sunnah regarding found items, having no proof with them; and they opposed the hadith of Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) which agrees with the Sunnah and which is established in their view; and they took this hadith as evidence while they themselves oppose it in the very matter it concerns.
The Shaykh (al-Bayhaqi) said: It has been narrated from Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him), as his own statement, something that agrees with the view of the Iraqis.
