حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا حَجَّاجٌ ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ عُبَيْدِ بْنِ زَيْدِ بْنِ عُقْبَةَ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، عَنْ سَمُرَةَ بْنِ جُنْدَبٍ ، قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " إِذَا ضَاعَ لِلرَّجُلِ مَتَاعٌ أَوْ سُرِقَ لَهُ مَتَاعٌ فَوَجَدَهُ فِي يَدِ رَجُلٍ يَبِيعُهُ فَهُوَ أَحَقُّ بِهِ وَيَرْجِعُ الْمُشْتَرِي عَلَى الْبَائِعِ بِالثَّمَنِ " .
´It was narrated from Samurah bin Jundub that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said:` “If a man loses something, or it is stolen from him, and he finds it in the possession of a man who bought it, then he has more right to it, and the one who bought it should ask for his money back from the one who sold it to him.' ”

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)
