26. The Found
٢٦۔ كِتَابُ اللُّقَطَةِ
[Machine] To recognize her, I traveled around until I met her at the turn of the century. I said to her, "I have recognized you," but she did not acknowledge me. She then said to me, "It belongs to you, for the messenger of Allah ﷺ has commanded us to do so." I replied, "I have no need for it." However, he insisted, so she was thrown into the treasury.
لِي عَرِّفْهَا حَوْلًا فَلَمَّا كَانَ عِنْدَ قَرْنِ الْحَوْلِ لَقِيتُهُ بِهَا فَقُلْتُ إِنِّي قَدْ عَرَّفْتُهَا فَلَمْ تُعْتَرَفْ فَقَالَ هِيَ لَكَ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ «أَمَرَنَا بِذَلِكَ» قُلْتُ لَا حَاجَةَ لِي بِهَا فَأَمَرَ بِهَا فَأُلْقِيَتْ فِي بَيْتِ الْمَالِ
[Machine] I introduced her as my wife for a year. If she is recognized, then it's fine, and if not, then she is yours. And since she was not recognized, I met him in the following year of the season, and I mentioned her to him. He said, "She is yours, as the Messenger of Allah ﷺ commanded us with that." I said, "I don't need her." So Umar took her and placed her in the treasury.
عَرِّفْهَا سَنَةً فَإِنْ عُرِفَتْ فَذَلِكَ وَإِلَّا فَهِيَ لَكَ فَلَمْ تُعْرَفْ فَلَقِيتُهُ مِنَ الْعَامِ الْمُقْبِلِ مِنَ الْمَوْسِمِ فَذَكَرْتُهَا لَهُ فَقَالَ هِيَ لَكَ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ «أَمَرَنَا بِذَلِكَ» قَالَ لَا حَاجَةَ لِي بِهَا فَقَبَضَهَا عُمَرُ وَجَعَلَهَا فِي بَيْتِ الْمَالِ
