حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَی بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ حَدَّثَنَا سَلَمَةُ بْنُ کُهَيْلٍ بِإِسْنَادِهِ وَمَعْنَاهُ قَالَ فِي التَّعْرِيفِ قَالَ عَامَيْنِ أَوْ ثَلَاثَةً وَقَالَ اعْرِفْ عَدَدَهَا وَوِعَائَهَا وَوِکَائَهَا زَادَ فَإِنْ جَائَ صَاحِبُهَا فَعَرَفَ عَدَدَهَا وَوِکَائَهَا فَادْفَعْهَا إِلَيْهِ قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُد لَيْسَ يَقُولُ هَذِهِ الْکَلِمَةَ إِلَّا حَمَّادٌ فِي هَذَا الْحَدِيثِ يَعْنِي فَعَرَفَ عَدَدَهَا
سنن ابودوٗد · Hadith 1703
The above mentioned tradition has also been transmitted by Salamah. Bin Kuhail through a different chain to the same effect. The version has ; about making the matter known he said ; “ two years or three. ” He said: Remember its number, its container and its string. The version adds: If its owner comes, and tells its number and its string, then give it to him. Abu Dawud said: None of the narrators said this word in this tradition except Hammad ; That is, “ If he tells its number. ”
