Arabic (Original)
أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو الْحُسَيْنِ بْنُ بِشْرَانَ أنبأ أَبُو عَمْرِو بْنُ السَّمَّاكِ ثنا حَنْبَلُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ ثنا عَفَّانُ ثنا أَبُو عَوَانَةَ عَنْ سِمَاكٍ عَنْ جَرِيرِ بْنِ رَبَاحٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ أَنَّهُمْ أَصَابُوا قَبْرًا بِالْمَدَائِنِ فَوَجَدُوا فِيهِ رَجُلًا عَلَيْهِ ثِيَابٌ مَنْسُوجَةٌ بِالذَّهَبِ وَوَجَدُوا مَعَهُ مَالًا فَأَتَوْا بِهِ عَمَّارَ بْنَ يَاسِرٍ ؓ فَكَتَبَ فِيهِ إِلَى عُمَرَ ؓ فَكَتَبَ عُمَرُ ؓ إِلَيْهِ أَنْ أَعْطِهِمْ وَلَا تَنْزِعْهُ قَالَ الشَّيْخُ وَهَذَا إِنْ وَجَدُوهَا فِي مَوَاتٍ مَلَكُوهَا فَفِيهَا الْخُمُسُ وَكَأَنَّهَا لَمْ تَبْلُغْ نِصَابًا أَوْ فَوَّضَ ذَلِكَ إِلَيْهِمْ لِيُخْرِجُوهُ وَاللهُ أَعْلَمُ
English Translation
Abu al-Husayn ibn Bishran informed us... from Jarir ibn Rabah's father that they found a grave in al-Mada'in containing a man wearing clothes woven with gold, and they found wealth with him. They brought it to Ammar ibn Yasir (may Allah be pleased with him), who wrote about it to Umar (may Allah be pleased with him). Umar wrote back: 'Give it to them and do not strip him.' The Shaykh said: If they found it in unclaimed land, they owned it and the fifth was due. Perhaps it did not reach the minimum threshold, or he left it to them to take out the fifth themselves. And Allah knows best.
