أَخْبَرَنَاهُ أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ فُورَكٍ، أنبأ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، ثنا يُونُسُ بْنُ حَبِيبٍ، ثنا أَبُو دَاوُدَ، ثنا شُعْبَةُ، أَخْبَرَنِي سَلَمَةُ بْنُ كُهَيْلٍ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ سُوَيْدَ بْنَ غَفَلَةَ يَقُولُ: غَزَوْتُ أَنَا وَزَيْدُ بْنُ صُوحَانَ وَسَلْمَانُ بْنُ رَبِيعَةَ، فَوَجَدْتُ سَوْطًا فَأَخَذْتُهُ، فَقَالَا لِي: أَلْقِهِ، فَقُلْتُ: لَا، وَلَكِنِّي أُعَرِّفُهُ، فَإِنْ وَجَدْتُ مَنْ يَعْرِفُهُ وَإِلَّا اسْتَمْتَعْتُ بِهِ، فَأَبَيْتُ عَلَيْهِمَا، فَلَمَّا رَجَعْنَا مِنْ غَزَاتِنَا قُضِيَ لِي أَنِّي حَجَجْتُ، فَأَتَيْتُ الْمَدِينَةَ فَلَقِيتُ أُبِيَّ بْنَ كَعْبٍ فَأَخْبَرْتُهُ بِشَأْنِ السَّوْطِ وَبِقَوْلِهِمَا، فَقَالَ أُبِيُّ بْنُ كَعْبٍ: وَجَدْتُ صُرَّةً فِيهَا مِائَةُ دِينَارٍ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَأَتَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَذَكَرْتُ ذَلِكَ لَهُ، فَقَالَ: " عَرِّفْهَا حَوْلًا "، فَعَرَّفْتُهَا فَلَمْ أَجِدْ مَنْ يَعْرِفُهَا ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ، فَقَالَ: " احْفَظْ عَدَدَهَا وَوِكَاءَهَا وَوِعَاءَهَا، فَإِنْ جَاءَ صَاحِبُهَا وَإِلَّا فَاسْتَمْتِعْ بِهَا " قَالَ شُعْبَةُ: فَلَقِيتُ سَلَمَةَ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ، فَقَالَ: لَا أَدْرِي ثَلَاثَةَ أَحْوَالٍ أَوْ حَوْلًا وَاحِدًا، فَأَعْجَبَنِي هَذَا الْحَدِيثُ فَقُلْتُ لِأَبِي صَادِقٍ: تَعَالَ فَاسْمَعْهُ مِنْهُ وَرَوَاهُ بَهْزُ بْنُ أَسَدٍ عَنْ شُعْبَةَ، عَنْ سَلَمَةَ. قَالَ شُعْبَةُ: فَسَمِعْتُهُ بَعْدَ عَشْرِ سِنِينَ يَقُولُ: عَرِّفْهَا عَامًا وَاحِدًا..
Salamah bin Kuhayl (may Allah have mercy on him) said: I heard Suwayd bin Ghafalah (may Allah have mercy on him) say: I was on a military expedition and I found a whip and took it. Zayd bin Suhan and Salman bin Rabi'ah (may Allah be pleased with them both) said to me: Throw it away. I refused. We completed the expedition, then I performed Hajj, and I passed through Madinah and met Ubayy bin Ka'b (may Allah be pleased with him). I mentioned this story, and he said to me: In the time of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) I found a purse of a hundred dinars. I took it to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and he (peace and blessings be upon him) said to me: "Announce it for a year." I announced it for a year but found no one who would recognise it. Then I came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Announce it for a year." I did so, then came back to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Announce it for another year." I did so, then came back to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) a fourth time, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Count them and remember its tie well. If its owner comes, give it to him; otherwise make use of it." Salamah (may Allah have mercy on him) said: I do not know whether he (peace and blessings be upon him) told him to announce it three times or once.
