"عَنْ عَلِىٍّ قَالَ: كَانَ الْمُغِيرَةُ بْنُ شُعْبَة إِذَا ارْتَحَلَ تَرَكَ رُمْحَهُ فَيَمُرُّ بِه الْمُسْلِمُونَ فَيَحْمِلُونهُ فَيَجِيئُونَ بِهِ، فَيَجِئُ فَيَقُولُ: مَنْ يَعْرفُ الرُّمْحَ فَيَأخُذُهُ؟ فَقُلْتُ لَهُ: تَحْمِلُ عَلَى الْمُسلِمِينَ مُؤْنَتَكَ؟ أَمَا لأَخْبِرَنَّ رَسُولَ الله ﷺ بِصَنِيِعكَ، فَفَالَ: يَا بْنَ أبِى طَالِبٍ: لَا تَفْعَلْ فَإِنِّى أَخَافُ إِنْ قُلْتُ لَهُ أَنْ يَقُولَ فِى اللُّقَطَة شَيئًا يَمْضِى إلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ، قَالَ عَلِىٌّ: فَعَرَفْتُ أَنَّهُ كمَا قَالَ".

"On the authority of 'Ali, who said: When al-Mughirah ibn Shu'bah set off, he would leave his spear, and the Muslims would pass by it, pick it up and bring it to him. He would come and say: Who recognises the spear so that he may take it? I said to him: Do you burden the Muslims with your provisions? I will certainly inform the Messenger of Allah ﷺ of your conduct. He said: O son of Abu Talib, do not do that, for I fear that if I tell him, he will say something about lost property that will remain until the Day of Resurrection. 'Ali said: So I knew that he was as he said."
