في اللقطة ما يصنع بها؟
Lost property: what is to be done with it?
Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 23006 — Lost property: what is to be done
٢٣٠٠٦ - حدثنا أبو بكر قال: حدثنا عبد الوهاب الثقفي عن خالد عن أبي العلاء عن مطرف عن عياض بن (حمار) (١) قال: قال النبي ﷺ: (من وجد لقطة فليشهد (ذا عدل أو ذوي عدل) (٢) ثم لا (يغيره) (٣) ولا يكتم، فإن (جاء ربها) (٤) فهو أحق بها، وإلا فهو مال اللَّه يؤتيه من يشاء) (٥).
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Iyad bin Himar (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever finds a found item (luqatah), let him make one or two just persons witnesses to it, then let him neither alter it nor conceal it. If its owner comes, he has the greater right to it; and if the owner does not come, it is the wealth (blessing) of Allah, which He gives to whomever He wills."
