Urdu footnote:
‘Ayn, that is, by "original property" is meant the property which was stolen or snatched, and then was found in the possession of another person. According to this hadith, the original owner will take back his property from the other person without any compensation. The second person will demand his money from the seller, not from the original owner, because it is his personal property. (For a detailed discussion, see Hadith: 4683)
