بَابُ أَيِّ يَوْمٍ يَخْطُبُ بِمِنًى
1704 حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْعَلَاءِ ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ نَافِعٍ ، عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي نَجِيحٍ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، عَنْ رَجُلَيْنِ ، مِنْ بَنِي بَكْرٍ ، قَالَا : رَأَيْنَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَخْطُبُ بَيْنَ أَوْسَطِ أَيَّامِ التَّشْرِيقِ ، وَنَحْنُ عِنْدَ رَاحِلَتِهِ وَهِيَ خُطْبَةُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ الَّتِي خَطَبَ بِمِنًى |
A man asked the Messenger of Allah (SWAS) about a find. He said: Make the matter known for a year, then note its string and its container and then use it for your purpose. Then if its owner comes, give it to him. He asked : Messenger of Allah, what about a stray sheep? He replied: Take it; that is for you, or for your brother, or for the wolf. He again asked: Messenger of Allah, What about stray camels? The Messenger of Allah (SWAS) became angry so much so that his cheeks became red or ( the narrator is doubtful) his face became red. He replied: What have you to do with them? They have with them their feet and their stomachs (for drink) till their master comes to him.
1705 حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَاصِمٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا رَبِيعَةُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ حُصَيْنٍ ، حَدَّثَتْنِي جَدَّتِي سَرَّاءُ بِنْتُ نَبْهَانَ ، وَكَانَتْ رَبَّةُ بَيْتٍ فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ قَالَتْ : خَطَبَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَوْمَ الرُّءُوسِ ، فَقَالَ : أَيُّ يَوْمٍ هَذَا ؟ ، قُلْنَا : اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ ، قَالَ : أَلَيْسَ أَوْسَطَ أَيَّامِ التَّشْرِيقِ ؟ . قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ : وَكَذَلِكَ قَالَ : عَمُّ أَبِي حُرَّةَ الرَّقَاشِيِّ ، إِنَّهُ خَطَبَ أَوْسَطَ أَيَّامِ التَّشْرِيقِ |
They have their stomachs: They can go down to water and eat trees. He did not say about the stray sheep: take it. About a find he said : Make it known for a year; if it’s owner comes, (give it to him), otherwise use it yourself. This version has not the word : “ spend it”.
Abu Dawud said : This tradition has been narrated by al-Thawri, Sulaiman bin Bilal, and Hammad bin Salamah on the authority of Rabi ‘ ah in a similar manner. They did not mention the word “take it”.
