ahmad:1272Abū Aḥmad > Sufyān > Abū Isḥāq > Abū al-Khalīl > ʿAlī

Al-Mugheerah bin Shuʿbah had a spear, and when we went out with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ on a campaign, he would take it with him and stick it in the ground. And the people would pass by him and give him a ride. I said: When I go to the Prophet ﷺ I will tell him. He said: If you do that, no one will pick up a lost item.  

أحمد:١٢٧٢حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أَحْمَدَ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ عَنْ أَبِي الْخَلِيلِ عَنْ عَلِيٍّ قَالَ

كَانَ لِلمُغِيرَةِ بْنِ شُعْبَةَ رُمْحٌ فَكُنَّا إِذَا خَرَجْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فِي غَزَاةٍ خَرَجَ بِهِ مَعَهُ فَيَرْكُزُهُ فَيَمُرُّ النَّاسُ عَلَيْهِ فَيَحْمِلُونَهُ فَقُلْتُ لَئِنْ أتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ لَأخْبِرَنَّهُ فَقَالَ إِنَّكَ إِنْ فَعَلْتَ لَمْ تَرْفَعْ ضَالَّةً

" عَنْ عَلىٍّ قَالَ: كانَ لِلمُغِيرَة بْنِ شُعْبَةَ رمحٌ فُكنا إِذَا خَرَجْنَا مَعَ رسُولِ الله ﷺ في غَزَاة خَرجَ بِهِ مَعَهُ فَيرْكُزُهُ فَيَمُرُّ النَّاسُ عَلَيْهِ فيَحْمِلُونَهُ، فَقُلتُ: لَئِنْ أَتَيْتُ النَّبِىَّ ﷺ لأخْبِرَنهُ، فَقَالَ: لاَ تَفْعَلْ، فَإنَّكَ إِن فَعَلتَ لم تُرْفَعْ ضَالتكَ، فَتَركَهُ ".
