حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَی بْنُ يَحْيَی التَّمِيمِيُّ قَالَ قَرَأْتُ عَلَی مَالِکٍ عَنْ رَبِيعَةَ بْنِ أَبِي عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ عَنْ يَزِيدَ مَوْلَی الْمُنْبَعِثِ عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ الْجُهَنِيِّ أَنَّهُ قَالَ جَائَ رَجُلٌ إِلَی النَّبِيِّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَسَأَلَهُ عَنْ اللُّقَطَةِ فَقَالَ اعْرِفْ عِفَاصَهَا وَوِکَائَهَا ثُمَّ عَرِّفْهَا سَنَةً فَإِنْ جَائَ صَاحِبُهَا وَإِلَّا فَشَأْنَکَ بِهَا قَالَ فَضَالَّةُ الْغَنَمِ قَالَ لَکَ أَوْ لِأَخِيکَ أَوْ لِلذِّئْبِ قَالَ فَضَالَّةُ الْإِبِلِ قَالَ مَا لَکَ وَلَهَا مَعَهَا سِقَاؤُهَا وَحِذَاؤُهَا تَرِدُ الْمَائَ وَتَأْکُلُ الشَّجَرَ حَتَّی يَلْقَاهَا رَبُّهَا قَالَ يَحْيَی أَحْسِبُ قَرَأْتُ عِفَاصَهَا
صحیح مسلم · Hadith 4498
Hammim b. Munabbih said: Abu Huraira reported (so many) ahadith of Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ), and one of them is this: A person bought from another person a piece of land, and the person who had, bought that land found in it an earthen ware which contained gold. The person who had bought the land said (to the seller of the land): Take your gold from me, for I bought only the land from you and not the gold. The man who had sold the land said: I sold the land to you and whatever was in it. They referred the matter to a person. One who was made as a judge said to them: Have you any issue? One of them said: I have a boy, and the other said: I have a young daughter He (the judge) said: Marry this young boy with the girl, and spend something on yourselves and also give (some) charity out of it.
