Sunan Abu Dawood : 1708
The above mentioned tradition has also been transmitted by Yahya bin Saeed and Rabiah through the chain of narrators mentioned by Qutaibah to the same effect. This version adds; if its seeker comes, and recognizes its container and its number, then give it to him. Hammad also narrated it from `Ubaid Allah bin Umar from Amr bin Shuaib, from his father, from his grandfather, from the Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم something similar. Abu Dawud said:
حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ، وَرَبِيعَةَ، بِإِسْنَادِ قُتَيْبَةَ وَمَعْنَاهُ، وَزَادَ فِيهِ: فَإِنْ جَاءَ بَاغِيهَا فَعَرَفَ عِفَاصَهَا وَعَدَدَهَا فَادْفَعْهَا إِلَيْهِ ،وقَالَ حَمَّادٌ أَيْضًا: عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ شُعَيْبٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ جَدِّهِ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، مِثْلَهُ. قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُد: وَهَذِهِ الزِّيَادَةُ الَّتِي زَادَ حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ فِي حَدِيثِ سَلَمَةَ بْنِ كُهَيْلٍ وَ يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ وَ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ وَ رَبِيعَةَ: إِنْ جَاءَ صَاحِبُهَا فَعَرَفَ عِفَاصَهَا وَوِكَاءَهَا فَادْفَعْهَا إِلَيْهِ لَيْسَتْ بِمَحْفُوظَةٍ، فَعَرَفَ عِفَاصَهَا وَوِكَاءَهَا، وَحَدِيثُ عُقْبَةَ بْنِ سُوَيْدٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، أَيْضًا، قَالَ: عَرِّفْهَا سَنَةً ، وَحَدِيثُ عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ أَيْضًا، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، قَالَ: عَرِّفْهَا سَنَةً .
This addition made by Hammad bin Salamah bin Kuhail, Yahya bin Saeed, `Ubaid Allah bin Umar and Rabiah; “if its owner comes and recognizes its container, and its string, ” is not guarded. The version narrated by Uqbah bin Suwaid on the authority of his father from the Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم has also the words: “make it known for a year”. The version of Umar bin al-Khattab رضی اللہ عنہ has also been transmitted from the Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم. This version has: “Make it known for a year”.
