Chapter 22 · The Chapter on Lost Propertyحَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ ثَابِتٍ الْجَحْدَرِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا يَعْقُوبُ بْنُ إِسْحَاق الْحَضْرَمِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْم بْنُ حَيَّانَ، سَمِعْتُ أَبِييُحَدِّثُ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: كَانَ فِيمَنْ كَانَ قَبْلَكُمْ رَجُلٌ اشْتَرَى عَقَارًا، فَوَجَدَ فِيهَا جَرَّةً مِنْ ذَهَبٍ، فَقَالَ: اشْتَرَيْتُ مِنْكَ الْأَرْضَ وَلَمْ أَشْتَرِ مِنْكَ الذَّهَبَ، فَقَالَ الرَّجُلُ: إِنَّمَا بِعْتُكَ الْأَرْضَ بِمَا فِيهَا فَتَحَاكَمَا إِلَى رَجُلٍ، فَقَالَ: أَلَكُمَا وَلَدٌ فَقَالَ أَحَدُهُمَا: لِي غُلَامٌ، وَقَالَ الْآخَرُ: لِي جَارِيَةٌ، قَالَ: فَأَنْكِحَا الْغُلَامَ الْجَارِيَةَ وَلْيُنْفِقَا عَلَى أَنْفُسِهِمَا مِنْهُ وَلْيَتَصَدَّقَا .

“I heard my father narrate from Abu Hurairah رضی اللہ عنہ that the Prophet (ﷺ) said: 'Among those who came before you there was a man who bought some property and found therein a jar of gold. He said: “I bought land from you, but I did not buy the gold from you.” The man said: “Rather I sold you the land with whatever is in it.” They referred their case to (a third) man who said: “Do you have children?” One of them said: “I have a boy.” The other said: “I have a girl.” He said: “Marry the boy to the girl, and let them spend on themselves from it and give in charity.”
