عَنْ خَالِدِ بْنِ زَيْدٍ الْجُهَنِيِّ عَنْ أَبِيهِ زَيْدِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّهُ سَأَلَ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَوْ أَنَّ رَجُلًا سَأَلَ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنْ ضَالَّةِ رَاعِي الْغَنَمِ قَالَ هِيَ لَكَ أَوْ لِلذِّئْبِ قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَا تَقُولُ فِي ضَالَّةِ رَاعِي الْإِبِلِ قَالَ وَمَا لَكَ وَلَهَا مَعَهَا سِقَاؤُهَا وَحِذَاؤُهَا وَتَأْكُلُ مِنْ أَطْرَافِ الشَّجَرِ قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَا تَقُولُ فِي الْوَرِقِ إِذَا وَجَدْتُهَا قَالَ اعْلَمْ وِعَاءَهَا وَوِكَاءَهَا وَعَدَدَهَا ثُمَّ عَرِّفْهَا سَنَةً فَإِنْ جَاءَ صَاحِبُهَا فَادْفَعْهَا إِلَيْهِ وَإِلَّا فَهِيَ لَكَ أَوِ اسْتَمْتِعْ بِهَا أَوْ نَحْوَ هَذَا
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Zayd bin Khalid (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: I or some man asked the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) about a lost goat. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: It is for you, or for the wolf. He said: O Messenger of Allah! What do you say about a lost camel? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: What concern do you have with it? Its water and its shoes are with it, and it will graze from the trees (until its owner finds it). He said: O Messenger of Allah! If I find lost silver, what is your ruling about it? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Know its pouch, its binding, and its number, and announce it for a year. If its owner comes, give it to him; otherwise, it will be yours, or he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: otherwise, benefit from it.
