The 25-year-old man, who
Germany’s Bild newspaper
identified as Muhannad M, fled to
the country from Homs last year
and had been trying to cheaply
furnish his new home in Germany. He found the stash of cash and
five bank books inside a hidden
compartment built underneath
one of the shelves of the
cupboard. The honest young man
said he couldn’t keep the cash because
of his religious beliefs. He said: “I
am Muslim. This money I could not
keep to myself.
Allah would never allow it, to
finance your own interests with someone else’s
property.” .
Police are now trying to
determine the rightful owner of
the cash. According to Bild,
Muhammad is entitled to 4,500-euro reward, or 3
per cent of the return, once the
owner is found. He may also
keep the whole money if anyone
doesn’t come forward for it. He
could have easily kept the cash especially as he is a
refugee, but he chose the
honest way out. Folks, will you do
the same if
you were in his shoes? Mohammed
points to where he found the money
