۞
1. Al-Husayn ibn Muhammad has narrated from Mu’alla’ ibn Muhammad and Ali ibn Muhammad al-Qashaniy from Salih ibn abu Hammad all from al-Washsha’ from Ahmad ibn ‘ A’idh from abu Khadijah, who has said the following
“Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘In the beginning of time when people found something and took it this (act) caused them to lose the ability to move even one step until they threw away what they had found. The rightful owner then came to pick it up. People became daring to greater wrong acts but it will in a certain time come back again.”’
