Narrated Suwaid Bin Ghafala: While I as in the company of Salman Bin Rabia and Suhan; in one of the holy battles; I found a whip. One of them told me to drop it but I refused to do so and said that I would give it to its owner if I found him; otherwise I would utilize it. On our return we performed Hajj and on passing by Medina; I asked Ubai Bin Kaab about it. He said; I found a bag containing a hundred Dinars in the lifetime of the Prophet ﷺ and took it to the Prophet ﷺ who said to me; Make public announcement about it for one year. So; I announced it for one year and went to the Prophet ﷺ who said; Announce it publicly for another year. So; I announced it for another year. I went to him again and he said; Announce for an other year. So I announced for still another year. I went to the Prophet ﷺ for the fourth time; and he said; Remember the amount of money; the description of its container and the string it is tied with; and if the owner comes; give it to him; otherwise; utilize it.
