الطبراني:٥٦٢٦حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُسْلِمٍ الْكَشِّيُّ ثنا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ ثنا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ خُبَيْبِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ عَبْدَ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ مَسْعُودِ بْنِ نِيَارٍ قَالَ كَانَ سَهْلُ بْنُ أَبِي حَثْمَةَ فِي مَجْلِسٍ لَنَا فَحَدَّثَهُمْ

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ كَانَ يَقُولُ للخُرَّاصِ خُذُوا وَدَعُوا الثُّلُثَ فَإِنْ لَمْ تَدَعُوا أَوْ قَالَ تَجِدُوا فَدَعُوا الرُّبُعَ
