كَتَبْتُ إِلَى الرَّجُلِ أَسْأَلُهُ عَنْ رَجُلٍ اشْتَرَى جَزُوراً أَوْ بَقَرَةً لِلْأَضَاحِيِّ فَلَمَّا ذَبَحَهَا وَجَدَ فِي جَوْفِهَا صُرَّةٌ فِيهَا دَرَاهِمُ أَوْ دَنَانِيرُ أَوْ جَوْهَرَةٌ لِمَنْ يَكُونُ ذَلِكَ فَوَقَّعَ ( عليه السلام ) عَرِّفْهَا الْبَائِعَ فَإِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ يَعْرِفُهَا فَالشَّيْءُ لَكَ رَزَقَكَ اللَّهُ إِيَّاهُ .
Translation
Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Abdullah Bin Ja’far who said, ‘I wrote to the man (Imam<sup>asws</sup>, asking him<sup>asws</sup> about a man who bought an animal or a cow for the sacrifice. So when he slaughtered it, he found in the inside of it a packet in which were Dirham, or Dinars, or jewellery. For whom would that happen to be?’ So he<sup>asws</sup> signed: ‘Introduce it to the seller, so if he does not recognise it, then the thing is for him which Allah<sup>azwj</sup> has Sustained him with’.
