5710 - وَ رَوَى يُونُسُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اَلرَّحْمَنِ عَنِ اِبْنِ عَوْنٍ عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ وَهْبٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ : فِي رَجُلٍ كَانَ لَهُ عَلَى رَجُلٍ حَقٌّ فَفَقَدَهُ وَ لاَ يَدْرِي أَيْنَ يَطْلُبُهُ وَ لاَ يَدْرِي أَ حَيٌّ هُوَ أَمْ مَيِّتٌ وَ لاَ يَعْرِفُ لَهُ وَارِثاً وَ لاَ نَسَباً وَ لاَ وَلَداً فَقَالَ "يَطْلُبُ" قَالَ إِنَّ ذَلِكَ قَدْ طَالَ عَلَيْهِ فَيَتَصَدَّقُ بِهِ قَالَ "يَطْلُبُ".
Hadith.5710 - Yunus ibn Abd Al-Rahman narrated from Ibn Awn from Mu'awiyah ibn Wahb from Abu Abdullah 
regarding a man who had a rightful claim over another person but lost contact with him. He did not know where to search for him, whether he was alive or dead, and was unaware of any heir, lineage, or child related to him.
Abu Abdullah said: "He should continue searching for him."
The man said: "It has been a long time; can he give it in charity?"
Imam replied: "He should continue searching."
