أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْمَاعِيلَ الْفَقِيهُ بِالرِّيِّ ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْأَزْرَقِ ثنا حَجَّاجُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ وَأَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ أَنْبَأَ بِشْرُ بْنُ مُوسَى وَعَلِيُّ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ وَمُوسَى بْنُ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَبَّادٍ وَإِسْحَاقُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ مَيْمُونٍ الْحَرْبِيُّ قَالُوا ثنا هَوْذَةُ بْنُ خَلِيفَةَ ثنا ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ حَدَّثَنِي عِكْرِمَةُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ أَنَّ أُسَيْدَ بْنَ حُضَيْرِ بْنِ سِمَاكٍ حَدَّثَهُ قَالَ
كَتَبَ مُعَاوِيَةُ إِلَى مَرْوَانَ إِذَا سَرَقَ الرَّجُلُ فَوَجَدَ سَرِقَتَهُ فَهُوَ أَحَقُّ بِهَا حَيْثُ وَجَدَهَا قَالَ فَكَتَبَ إِلَيَّ بِذَلِكَ مَرْوَانُ وَأَنَا عَلَى الْيَمَامَةَ فَكَتَبْتُ إِلَى مَرْوَانَ أَنَّ نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ ﷺ «قَضَى إِذَا كَانَ عِنْدَ الرَّجُلِ غَيْرِ الْمُتَّهَمِ فَإِنْ شَاءَ سَيِّدُهَا أَخَذَهَا بِالثَّمَنِ وَإِنْ شَاءَ اتَّبَعَ سَارِقَهُ» ثُمَّ قَضَى بِذَلِكَ بَعْدَهُ أَبُو بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرُ وَعُثْمَانُ قَالَ فَكَتَبَ مَرْوَانُ إِلَى مُعَاوِيَةَ بِكِتَابِي فَكَتَبَ مُعَاوِيَةُ إِلَى مَرْوَانَ إِنَّكَ لَسْتَ أَنْتَ وَلَا أُسَيْدٌ تَقْضِيَانِ عَلَيَّ فِيمَا وُلِّيتَ وَلَكِنِّي أَقْضِي عَلَيْكُمَا فَانْفُذْ لِمَا أَمَرْتُكَ بِهِ وَبَعَثَ مَرْوَانُ بِكِتَابِ مُعَاوِيَةَ إِلَيْهِ فَقَالَ وَاللَّهِ لَا أَقْضِي بِهِ أَبَدًا

✧ Mu'awiyah wrote to Marwan: When a man's property is stolen and he finds it, he is more entitled to it wherever he finds it. He said: Marwan wrote that to me while I was over al-Yamamah, so I wrote to Marwan that the Prophet of Allah ﷺ ruled that when the property is with an unsuspected man, the owner may either take it by paying its price or pursue the thief. Then Abu Bakr, Umar, and Uthman ruled accordingly after him. He said: Marwan sent my letter to Mu'awiyah, and Mu'awiyah wrote to Marwan: You are not the one—nor is Usayd—to judge against me in what I have been given authority, but I judge over you both, so carry out what I have commanded you. Marwan sent Mu'awiyah's letter to him, and he said: By Allah, I will never judge by it.
