English translation
1703. (Another chain) from Hammād that Salamah bin Kuhail narrated to them with his chain and its meaning (similar to no. 1701). Regarding announcing it, he said: “He (ﷺ) said: ‘Two or three years.’” And he said: “Be familiar with its quantity, and its pouch, and its drawstring,” and he added: “So if its owner comes to you and knows its quantity, pouch, and drawstring, give it to him.” (Sahīh) Abū Dāwūd said: No one said this statement in this Hadīth except Hammād, meaning: “Be familiar with its quantity.”
