Bismillah Walhamdulillah Was Salaatu Was Salaam 'ala Rasulillah As-Salaam Alaikum Wa-Rahmatullahi Wa-Barakatuhu Al-Luqata - 8th Muharram 1426 (7 February 2006) Narrated Suwaid bin Ghafala (Radhiallaho anho): While I as in the company of Salman bin Rabi'a and Suhan (Radhiallaho anhuma), 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 Ka'b (Radhiallaho anho) about it. He said, "I found a bag containing a hundred Dinars in the lifetime of the Prophet and took it to the Prophet (sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam) who said to me, 'Make public announcement about it for one year.' So, I announced it for one year and went to the Prophet 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 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.'
