3085 - حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْمُسَيِّبِ، وَأَبِي سَلَمَةَ، سَمِعَا أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ، يُحَدِّثُ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «فِي الرِّكَازِ الْخُمُسُ»

Commentary
A treasure of unknown ownership found buried in a desolate piece of land, or in a previously inhabited area is known as Rikāz. Anyone who finds such a treasure becomes the rightful owner of it, after paying the prescribed one-fifth part of it to the ruler.
