Arabic (Original)
وَأَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو أَحْمَدَ الْمِهْرَجَانِيُّ أنبأ أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ ثنا ابْنُ بُكَيْرٍ ثنا مَالِكٌ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ بَعْضَ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ يَقُولُونَ فِي الرِّكَازِ إِنَّمَا هُوَ دَفْنُ الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ مَا لَمْ يُطْلَبْ بِمَالٍ وَلَمْ يُكَلَّفْ فِيهِ ��َبِيرُ عَملٍ فَأَمَّا مَا طُلِبَ بِمَالٍ أَوْ كُلِّفَ فِيهِ كَبِيرُ عَمَلٍ فَأُصِيبَ مَرَّةً وَأُخْطِئَ مَرَّةً فَلَيْسَ بِرِكَازٍ وَرَوَى أَبُو دَاوُدَ عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ أَيُّوبَ عَنْ عَبَّادِ بْنِ الْعَوَّامِ عَنْ هِشَامٍ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ قَالَ الرِّكَازُ الْكَنْزُ الْعَادِي وَسَقَطَ ذَلِكَ مِنْ كِتَابِي
English Translation
And Abu Ahmad al-Mihrajani informed us... from Malik that he heard some people of knowledge saying about buried treasure (rikaz): 'It is only the buried treasure of the pre-Islamic era, as long as it was not sought with expenditure and did not require great labor. As for what was sought with expenditure or required great labor, sometimes found and sometimes not, that is not rikaz.' Abu Dawud narrated from al-Hasan who said: 'Rikaz is ancient buried treasure.' This was dropped from my book.
