في اللقطة ما يصنع بها؟
Lost property: what is to be done with it?
Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 23002 — Lost property: what is to be done
٢٣٠٠٢ - حدثنا أبو بكر قال: حدثنا ابن أبي زائدة عن زكريا عن الشعبي قال: تعرف اللقطة سنة، فإن لم تجد لها طالبا فأعطها أهل بيت من المسلمين فقراء (وقل) (١) لهم: هذه قرض من صاحبها عليكم، فإن جاء فهو أحق بها، (وإن) (٢) لم يجيء فهي (صدقة) (٣) عليكم منه.
Al-Sha'bi (may Allah have mercy on him) said: A found item (luqatah) is to be announced for one year. If its owner is not found, let him give it to a poor household of the Muslims and tell them: "This is a loan upon you from its owner. If the owner comes, he has the greater right to it; and if he does not come, it is charity to you from him."
