بَابُ الْقَضَاءِ فِي اللُّقَطَةِJudgment Regarding Lost Property
Hadith 1459
حَدَّثَنِي مَالِك، عَنْ رَبِيعَةَ بْنِ أَبِي عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ مَوْلَى الْمُنْبَعِثِ، عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ الْجُهَنِيِّ ، أَنَّهُ قَالَ : جَاءَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَسَأَلَهُ عَنِ اللُّقَطَةِ، فَقَالَ : " اعْرِفْ عِفَاصَهَا وَوِكَاءَهَا، ثُمَّ عَرِّفْهَا سَنَةً، فَإِنْ جَاءَ صَاحِبُهَا، وَإِلَّا فَشَأْنَكَ بِهَا " . قَالَ فَضَالَّةُ : الْغَنَمِ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ؟ قَالَ : " هِيَ لَكَ أَوْ لِأَخِيكَ أَوْ لِلذِّئْبِ " . قَالَ فَضَالَّةُ : الْإِبِلِ . قَالَ : " مَا لَكَ وَلَهَا، مَعَهَا سِقَاؤُهَا وَحِذَاؤُهَا تَرِدُ الْمَاءَ وَتَأْكُلُ الشَّجَرَ حَتَّى يَلْقَاهَا رَبُّهَا "
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Zayd bin Khalid al-Juhani, may Allah be pleased with him, that a man came to the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, and asked him about a lost item (luqatah). The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Recognize its container (in which the lost item is, whether it is of leather or cloth), and recognize its binding, then announce its matter to the people for a year. If its owner is found, give it to him; if not, then take it for yourself." Then the man said: "If a stray goat is found, O Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him?" The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "The goat will benefit you, or your brother, or the wolf will eat it." Then the man said: "If a stray camel is found?" The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "What concern do you have with the camel? It has its water with it, and its shoes with it; wherever it finds water, it drinks, and whatever tree it finds, it eats, until its owner finds it."
