حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ أَبِي السَّفَرِ، عَنْ رَجُلٍ مِنْ بَنِي رُؤَاسٍ، قَالَ:
الْتَقَطْتُ ثَلَاثَمِائَةِ دِرْهَمٍ، فَعَرَّفْتُهَا تَعْرِيفًا ضَعِيفًا وَأَنَا يَوْمَئِذٍ مُحْتَاجٌ، فَأَكَلْتُهَا حِينَ لَمْ أَجِدْ أَحَدًا يَعْرِفُهَا. ثُمَّ أَيْسَرْتُ فَسَأَلْتُ عَلِيًّا، فَقَالَ: عَرِّفْهَا سَنَةً؛ فَإِنْ جَاءَ صَاحِبُهَا فَادْفَعْهَا إِلَيْهِ، وَإِلَّا فَتَصَدَّقْ بِهَا، وَإِلَّا فَخَيِّرْهُ بَيْنَ الْأَجْرِ وَبَيْنَ أَنْ تَغْرَمَهَا لَهُ

"I picked up three hundred dirhams, and I announced them weakly, and I was then in need, so I ate them when I found no one who recognized them. Then I became well-off and asked 'Ali, and he said: 'Announce it for a year; if its owner comes, give it to him; otherwise give it in charity; and if not, let him choose between the reward and that you compensate him for it.'"
