Riyad as-Salihin: Book 18, Hadith 19

Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “A man bought a piece of land from another man, and the buyer found a jar filled with gold in the land. The buyer said to the seller: ‘Take your gold, as I bought only the land from you and not the gold.’ The owner of the land said: ‘I sold you the land with everything in it.’ So both of them took their case before a third man who asked: ‘Have you any children?’ One of them said: ‘I have a boy.’ The other said, ‘I have a girl.’ The man said: ‘Marry the girl to the boy and spend the money on them; and whatever remains give it in charity.”‘.

وعن أبي هريرة رضي الله عنه أن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم قال‏:‏ ‏
“‏ اشترى رجل من رجل عقاراً، فوجد الذي اشترى العقار في عقاره جرة فيها ذهب، فقال له الذي اشترى العقار خذ ذهبك‏:‏ إنما اشتريت منك الأرض، ولم أشتر الذهب، وقال الذي له الأرض‏:‏ إنما بعتك الأرض وما فيها، فتحاكما إلى رجل، فقال الذي تحاكما إليه‏:‏ ألكما ولد‏؟‏ قال أحدهما ‏:‏ لي غلام، وقال الآخر‏:‏ لي جارية، قال‏:‏ أنكحا الغلام الجارية وأنفقوا على أنفسهما منه وتصدقا‏”‏ ‏(‏‏(‏متفق عليه‏)‏‏)‏‏.‏
