[Machine] I found a purse containing a hundred dinars during the time of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ . I went to the Prophet ﷺ and said, "Identify its owner." I described it, but no one recognized it. I returned to him and he said the same thing three times. Then he said, "Keep count of its contents, its container, and its strap, and if its owner comes forward, give it to him; otherwise, enjoy it." So, I enjoyed it. Salamah said, "I do not know whether I described it properly three times or there were three different descriptions."
إِنِّي وَجَدْتُ صُرَّةً عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فِيهَا مِائَةُ دِينَارٍ فَأَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَقَالَ عَرِّفْهَا حَوْلًا فَعَرَّفْتُهَا حَوْلًا فَلَمْ أَجِدْ أَحَدًا يَعْرِفُهَا فَعُدْتُ إِلَيْهِ فَقَالَ مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ فَقَالَ احْفَظْ عِدَّتَهَا وَوِعَاءَهَا وَوِكَاءَهَا فَإِنْ جَاءَ صَاحِبُهَا وَإِلَّا فَاسْتَمْتِعْ بِهَا قَالَ فَاسْتَمْتَعْتُ بِهَا قَالَ سَلَمَةُ لَا أَدْرِي عَرَّفَهَا حَوْلًا إِلَى ثَلَاثَةِ أَحْوَالٍ أَوْ فِي الْحَوْلِ
