Suwayd bin Ghafla reported,

I went on a military expedition with Zayd bin Suhan and Salman bin Rabia, and I found a whip. They said to me, "Throw it away."I said, "No, but if I find its owner I will return it, otherwise I will make use of it."Then I performed the pilgrimage and passed through Medina, where I asked Ubayy bin Kaab about it.He said, "I once found a pouch containing a hundred Dinars. I came to the Prophet ﷺ and he said, 'Announce it for a year.' So I announced it for a year. Then I came to him again and he said, 'Announce it for a year.' So I announced it for a year. Then I came to him and he said, 'Announce it for a year.' So I announced it for a year. Then I came to him and said, 'I have not found anyone who recognizes it.' He said, 'Remember its number, its string, and its container. If its owner comes, return it, otherwise make use of it.'"The narrator said, "I do not know whether he said, 'Announce it,' three times or only once."

حدثنا محمد بن كثير أخبرنا شعبة عن سلمة بن كهيل

عن سويد بن غفلة قال

غزوت مع زيد بن صوحان وسلمان بن ربيعة فوجدت سوطا فقالا لي اطرحه فقلت لا ولكن إن وجدت صاحبه وإلا استمتعت به فحججت فمررت على المدينة فسألت أبي بن كعب فقال وجدت صرة فيها مائة دينار فأتيت النبي ﷺ فقال عرفها حولا فعرفتها حولا ثم أتيته فقال عرفها حولا فعرفتها حولا ثم أتيته فقال عرفها حولا فعرفتها حولا ثم أتيته فقلت لم أجد من يعرفها فقال احفظ عددها ووكاءها ووعاءها فإن جاء صاحبها وإلا فاستمتع بها وقال ولا أدري أثلاثا قال عرفها أو مرة واحدة
