every day was a matter. the jurist would pass by the lost item pass it by and not take it in order to test others by preserving it since most people at that time were faithful to their trusts and protected the lost item. but when they changed and became corrupted it became obligatory for the jurist to secure it and protect it and to be patient with the ordeal that befell him and the difficulty that he was tested with.
في كل يوم شأن. كان الفقيه يمر باللقطة ١ فيتجاوزها ولا يتناولها، كي يمتحن بحفظها سواه، إذ كان جل الناس في ذلك الدهر يؤدون الأمانة ويحوطون اللقطة، فلما تبدلوا وفسدوا، وجب على الفقيه إحرازها والحفظ لها، وأن يصبر على ما نابه من المحنة واختبر به من الكلفة.
