[Machine] A man from the Banu Ru'as found a purse and brought it to Ali. He said, "I found a purse with coins in it, and I recognized it, but I couldn't find anyone who knew it. I hope that no one comes looking for it." Ali said, "Give it in charity, and if its owner comes and is satisfied, he will have the reward, and if he is not satisfied, you will be liable for it, and you will still have the reward." It is narrated by Asim ibn Damrah, who is not strong. We have also narrated it with connected authentic chains from the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ and it is more proper to follow the established Sunnah of the Messenger of Allah. And with Allah is the help.
أَنَّ رَجُلًا مِنْ بَنِي رُؤَاسٍ وَجَدَ صُرَّةً فَأَتَى بِهَا عَلِيًّا ؓ فَقَالَ إِنِّي وَجَدْتُ صُرَّةً فِيهَا دَرَاهِمَ وَقَدْ عَرَّفْتُهَا وَلَمْ أَجِدْ مَنْ يَعْرِفُهَا وَجَعَلْتُ أَشْتَهِي أَنْ لَا يَجِيءَ مَنْ يَعْرِفُهَا قَالَ تَصَدَّقْ بِهَا فَإِنْ جَاءَ صَاحِبُهَا فَرَضِيَ كَانَ لَهُ الْأَجْرُ وَإِنْ لَمْ يَرْضَ غَرِمْتَهَا وَكَانَ لَكَ الْأَجْرُ عَاصِمُ بْنُ ضَمْرَةَ غَيْرُ قَوِيٍّ وَقَدْ رُوِّينَا عَنْ عَلِيٍّ ؓ مَرْفُوعًا جَوَازَ الْأَكْلِ وَرُوِّينَاهُ بِأَسَانِيدَ صِحَاحٍ مَوْصُولَةٍ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ وَسُنَّةُ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ الثَّابِتَةُ أَوْلَى بِالِاتِّبَاعِ وَبِاللهِ التَّوْفِيقُ
