سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ الدَّارِ يُوجَدُ فِيهَا الْوَرِقُ فَقَالَ إِنْ كَانَتْ مَعْمُورَةً فِيهَا أَهْلُهَا فَهُوَ لَهُمْ وَ إِنْ كَانَتْ خَرِبَةً قَدْ جَلَا عَنْهَا أَهْلُهَا فَالَّذِي وَجَدَ الْمَالَ فَهُوَ أَحَقُّ بِهِ .


Translation

Ali, from his father, from Ibn Mahbooub, from Al A’ala Bin Razeyn, from Muhammad Bin Muslim, (It has been narrated) from Abu Ja’far<sup>asws</sup>, said, ‘I asked him<sup>asws</sup> about the house in which the paper (silver) is found. So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘If it was that its inhabitants frequent it, so it is for them, and if it was in ruins, its inhabitants having evacuated from it, so the one who found the wealth, so he is more rightful for it’.
