أَخْبَرَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ ذُؤَيْبٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ عَنِ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ قَالَ وَلَقَدْ أَخْبَرَنِي عِكْرِمَةُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ أَنَّ أُسَيْدَ بْنَ ظَهِيرٍ الْأَنْصَارِيَّ ثُمَّ أَحَدَ بَنِي حَارِثَةَ أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّهُ كَانَ عَامِلًا عَلَى الْيَمَامَةِ وَأَنَّ مَرْوَانَ كَتَبَ إِلَيْهِ أَنَّ مُعَاوِيَةَ كَتَبَ إِلَيْهِ

أَنَّ أَيَّمَا رَجُلٍ سُرِقَ مِنْهُ سَرِقَةٌ فَهُوَ أَحَقُّ بِهَا حَيْثُ مَا وَجَدَهَا ثُمَّ كَتَبَ بِذَلِكَ مَرْوَانُ إِلَيَّ فَكَتَبْتُ إِلَى مَرْوَانَ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَضَى بِأَنَّهُ «إِذَا كَانَ الَّذِي ابْتَاعَهَا مِنَ الَّذِي سَرَقَهَا غَيْرُ مُتَّهَمٍ فَخُيِّرَ سَيِّدُهَا فَإِنْ شَاءَ أَخَذَ الَّذِي سُرِقَ مِنْهُ بِثَمَنِهِ وَإِنْ شَاءَ اتَّبَعَ سَارِقَهُ» ثُمَّ قَضَى بِذَلِكَ بَعْدَهُ أَبُو بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرُ وَعُثْمَانُ فَبَعَثَ مَرْوَانُ بِكِتَابِي إِلَى مُعَاوِيَةَ فَكَتَبَ مُعَاوِيَةُ إِلَى مَرْوَانَ إِنَّكَ لَسْتَ أَنْتَ وَلَا أُسَيْدٌ بِقَاضِيَيْنِ وَلَكِنِّي أُقَاضِي فِيمَا وُلِّيْتُ عَلَيْكُمَا فَأَنْفِذْ لِمَا أَمَرْتُكَ بِهِ فَبَعَثَ مَرْوَانُ إِلَيَّ بِكِتَابِ مُعَاوِيَةَ فَقُلْتُ لَا أَقْضِي بِهِ مَا وُلِّيْتُ بِمَا قَالَ مُعَاوِيَةُ

✧ That any man from whom something is stolen, he is more entitled to it wherever he finds it. Then Marwan wrote to me about that, so I wrote to Marwan that the Prophet ﷺ ruled that if the one who bought it from the one who stole it is not suspect, then the owner is given the choice: if he wishes, he may take what was stolen from him for its price, and if he wishes, he may pursue the thief. Then after him Abu Bakr, 'Umar, and 'Uthman ruled accordingly. Marwan sent my letter to Mu'awiyah, and Mu'awiyah wrote to Marwan: "You and Usayd are not judges. Rather, I judge in what I have been put in authority over you both, so carry out what I command you." Marwan sent Mu'awiyah's letter to me, and I said: "I will not judge by it as long as I am in authority, according to what Mu'awiyah said."
