English translation

3531. It was from Qatādah, from Al-Hasan, from Samurah bin Jundab who said: "The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: 'Whoever finds his exact property with another man, he has more right to it, and the buyer should pursue the one who sold it to him.'" (Da'if)

Arabic text

3531 - حَدَّثَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ عَوْنٍ، حَدَّثَنَا هُشَيْمٌ، عَنْ مُوسَى بْنِ السَّائِبِ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ، عَنْ سَمُرَةَ بْنِ جُنْدُبٍ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «مَنْ وَجَدَ عَيْنَ مَالِهِ عِنْدَ رَجُلٍ فَهُوَ أَحَقُّ بِهِ وَيَتَّبِعُ الْبَيِّعُ مَنْ بَاعَهُ»

Commentary

If somebody's stolen goods are found with someone, the real owner has the right to take his belongings, and the person with whom the goods are found should give it to its owner and claim his loss from the person who sold these things to him.
