حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا الْأَسْوَدُ بْنُ شَيْبَانَ، عَنْ أَبِي نَوْفَلِ بْنِ أَبِي عَقْرَبٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ:
الْتَقَطْتُ بَدْرَةً، فَأَتَيْتُ بِهَا عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ فَقُلْتُ: يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ، أَغْنِهَا عَنِّي ! فَقَالَ: وَافِ بِهَا الْمَوْسِمَ ! فَوَافَيْتُ بِهَا الْمَوْسِمَ، [فَقَالَ: عَرِّفْهَا حَوْلًا ! فَعَرَّفْتُهَا، فَلَمْ أَجِدْ أَحَدًا يَعْرِفُهَا. فَأَتَيْتُ فَقُلْتُ] [٢]: فَأَغْنِهَا عَنِّي، فَقَالَ: " أَلَا أُخْبِرُكَ بِخَيْرِ سَبِيلِهَا [٣]؟ تَصَدَّقْ بِهَا؛ فَإِنْ جَاءَ صَاحِبُهَا فَاخْتَارَ الْمَالَ غَرِمْتَ لَهُ وَكَانَ الْأَجْرُ لَكَ، وَإِنِ اخْتَارَ الْأَجْرَ كَانَ [الْأَجْرُ] [٤]لَهُ، وَلَكَ مَا نَوَيْتَ

I found a bag of dirhams and brought it to Umar ibn al-Khattab and said: "O Commander of the Believers, relieve me of it!" He said: "Bring it with you to the season (of Hajj)." So I brought it to the season, [and he said: "Announce it for a year!" I announced it, but I did not find anyone who knew it. So I came and said]: "Relieve me of it." He said: "Shall I not tell you the best way to deal with it? Give it in charity. If its owner comes and chooses the money, you must pay it to him and the reward will be yours; and if he chooses the reward, the reward will be his, and yours is what you intended."
