"عن أَبى عقربٍ قال: التقطت بَدْرَة فأتيت بها عمر بن الخطاب، فقال: وافِ بها الموسِمَ، فوافيت بها الموسِم فعرَّفتها فلم أجد أحدًا يعرفُها، فقال: ألا أخُبِرك بخير سُبُلِها: تصدق بها، فإن جاء صاحبُها فاختار المال غَرِمْتَ له، وكان الأجرُ لك، وإن اختار الأجرَ كان الأجر له ولك ما نويتَ".

"Narrated from Abu 'Aqrab who said: 'I picked up a purse of money and brought it to 'Umar ibn al-Khattab. He said: 'Announce it at the season.' So I announced it at the season and made it known, but I did not find anyone who recognized it. He said: 'Shall I not inform you of the best way to dispose of it? Give it in charity. If its owner comes and chooses the money, you must pay it to him, and the reward is yours. If he chooses the reward, the reward is his, and for you is what you intended.'"
