سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ اللُّقَطَةِ فَقَالَ لَا تَرْفَعْهَا فَإِنِ ابْتُلِيتَ بِهَا فَعَرِّفْهَا سَنَةً فَإِنْ جَاءَ طَالِبُهَا وَ إِلَّا فَاجْعَلْهَا فِي عُرْضِ مَالِكَ تُجْرِي عَلَيْهَا مَا تُجْرِي عَلَى مَالِكَ حَتَّى يَجِيءَ لَهَا طَالِبٌ فَإِنْ لَمْ يَجِئْ لَهَا طَالِبٌ فَأَوْصِ بِهَا فِي وَصِيَّتِكَ .
Translation
Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Hammad, from Hareyz, from Muhammad Bin Muslim, (It has been narrated) from Abu Ja’far<sup>asws</sup>, said, ‘I asked him<sup>asws</sup> about the found property, so he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘You should not pick it up, but if you indulge in it, so you should introduce it for a year. So if its seeker comes over (fine), or else make it be in the display of your wealth, flowing upon it whatever flows upon your own wealth until a seeker comes for it. So if a seeker does not come for it, so bequeath with it in your bequest’.
