قَالَ يَحْيَى قَالَ مَالِكٌ عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ عَنْ سُنَيْنٍ أَبِي جَمِيلَةَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ بَنِي سُلَيْمٍ
أَنَّهُ وَجَدَ مَنْبُوذًا فِي زَمَانِ عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ قَالَ فَجِئْتُ بِهِ إِلَى عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ فَقَالَ مَا حَمَلَكَ عَلَى أَخْذِ هَذِهِ النَّسَمَةِ فَقَالَ وَجَدْتُهَا ضَائِعَةً فَأَخَذْتُهَا فَقَالَ لَهُ عَرِيفُهُ يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ إِنَّهُ رَجُلٌ صَالِحٌ فَقَالَ لَهُ عُمَرُ أَكَذَلِكَ قَالَ نَعَمْ فَقَالَ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ اذْهَبْ فَهُوَ حُرٌّ وَلَكَ وَلاَؤُهُ وَعَلَيْنَا نَفَقَتُهُ

- Sunayn Abū Jamīlah a man Min Banī Sulaym
Yahya said that Malik related from Ibn Shihab that Sunayn Abi Jamila, a man from the Banu Sulaym, found an abandoned child in the time of Umar ibn al-Khattab. Sunayn took him to Umar ibn al-Khattab. He asked, "What has induced you to take this person?" He answered, "I found him lost, so I took him.'' Umar's advisor said to him,' 'Amir al-Muminin! He is a man who does good." Umar inquired of him, "Is it so?" He replied, "Yes." Umar ibn al-Khattab said, "Go, he is free, and you have his wala' inheritance, and we will provide for him." Yahya said that he heard Malik say, "What is done in our community about an abandoned child is that he is free, and his wala' inheritance belongs to the muslims, and they inherit from him and pay his blood money."

أبو جميلة مجهول لا يعرف له خبر غير هذا الحديث

رواه الزهري واختلف عنه فرواه محمد بن بشر وحفص بن غياث عن عبيد الله بن عمر عن الزهري عن سعيد بن المسيب عن أبي جميلة وكذلك قال حجاج بن أرطاة عن الزهري والصواب ما رواه مالك بن أنس وغيره عن الزهري سمعت سنينا أبا جميلة يحدث سعيد بن المسيب
machine translationAl-Zuhrī narrated it, and there is disagreement about it from him. Muḥammad b. Bishr and Ḥafṣ b. Ghiyāth narrated it from ʿUbayd Allāh b. ʿUmar, from al-Zuhrī, from Saʿīd b. al-Musayyib, from Abū Jamīlah. Ḥajjāj b. Arṭāt said the same from al-Zuhrī. The correct version is what Mālik b. Anas and others narrated from al-Zuhrī: "I heard Sunayn Abū Jamīlah narrating to Saʿīd b. al-Musayyib."
