Hadith 23041
٢٣٠٤١ - حدثنا أبو بكر قال: حدثنا ابن أبي زائدة عن يحيى بن سعيد عن سليمان بن يسار عن ثابت (بن) (١) الضحاك قال: وجدت بعيرًا فسألت عمر فقال: عرفه، فعرفته فلم أجد أحدًا يعرفه فأتيته (قال) (٢): فقلت: قد شغلني قال: فأرسله حيث (وجدته) (٣) (٤).
Hazrat Thabit (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that I found a camel, so I asked Hazrat Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) about it. He (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "Announce it." I made the announcement, but did not find any owner. I went to him and said, "It has kept me occupied!" He (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "Then leave it where you found it."
