(similar to no. 1704) He added in it: “So if the one who seeks it comes, and knows its pouch and quantity, then give it to him.” Hammād also said (narrating it): “From ‘Ubaidullāh bin ‘Umar, from ‘Amr bin Shu’aib, from his father, from his grandfather, from the Prophet ﷺ,” similarly. (Sahih) Abū Dāwūd said: This addition, the one that Hammād bin Salamah added in the narration of Salamah bin Kuhail, Yahyā bin Sa’eed, ‘Ubaidullāh bin ‘Umar, and Rabī’ah: “If its owner comes and knows its pouch and drawstring, then return it to him” — is not preserved (meaning) “and knows its pouch and drawstring.” (Sahih) And in the Hadīth reported from ‘Uqabah bin Suwaid, from his father from the Prophet ﷺ also says: “Announce it for a year.” And the Hadīth of ‘Umar bin Al-Khaṭṭāb also from the Prophet ﷺ, says: “Announce it for a year.”
