Munzir bin Jarir, may Allah have mercy on him, says that once I was with my father, Hazrat Jarir, may Allah be pleased with him, at a place called Bawazij, among a herd. There, cows were coming and going ahead and behind. He saw a cow and it seemed unfamiliar to him. He asked, "What kind of cow is this?" The herdsman replied that it belongs to someone else and has joined our animals. On his order, it was removed from there until it disappeared from sight. Then he said, "I heard the Noble Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, say that only a misguided person gives shelter to a lost thing."
