Arabic hadith text
حَدَّثَنَا الْهَيْثَمُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ الْجُهَنِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ أَوْسٍ، عَنْ بِلاَلِ بْنِ يَحْيَى الْعَبْسِيِّ، عَنْ عَلِيٍّ، رضى الله عنه أَنَّهُ الْتَقَطَ دِينَارًا فَاشْتَرَى بِهِ دَقِيقًا فَعَرَفَهُ صَاحِبُ الدَّقِيقِ فَرَدَّ عَلَيْهِ الدِّينَارَ فَأَخَذَهُ عَلِيٌّ وَقَطَعَ مِنْهُ قِيرَاطَيْنِ فَاشْتَرَى بِهِ لَحْمًا .
Translation
Al-Haytham ibn Khalid al-Juhani narrated to us; Waki narrated to us, from Sad ibn Aws, from Bilal ibn Yahya al-Absi, from Ali, may Allah be pleased with him: He found a dinar and bought flour with it. The flour seller recognized its owner and returned the dinar to him. Ali took it and cut two qirats from it, then bought meat with them.
