Jami' al-Saghir / Jam' al-Jawami' (al-Suyuti) 2-666b
"عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ سُفْيَانَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الله أَنَّهُ وَجَدَ عَيْبَةً فَأَتَى بِهَا عُمَرَ، فَقَالَ: عَرِّفْها سَنةً فإنْ لَمْ تُعْرَفْ فَهِىَ لَكَ، فَفَعَلَ فَلَمْ تُعْرَفْ، قَالَ عُمَرُ: فَهِىَ لَكَ؛ فَإنَّ رسُول الله ﷺ أَمَرَنَا بِذلكَ، قَال: لَا حَاجةَ لِى بِهَا، فَقبَضَها عُمَرُ فَجَعَلَهَا فىِ بَيْتِ الْمالِ".

“On the authority of 'Amr ibn Sufyan ibn 'Abd Allah that he found a purse and brought it to 'Umar. He said: ‘Announce it for a year; if it is not recognized, then it is yours.’ He did so, and it was not recognized. 'Umar said: ‘Then it is yours, for the Messenger of Allah ﷺ commanded us with that.’ He said: ‘I have no need for it.’ So 'Umar took it and placed it in the House of Money.”
