Clarifying that the Prophet’s statement about a lost Muslim property refers to some lost items, not all.
Hadith 4888
أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو خَلِيفَةَ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ ، عَنْ يَحْيَى ، عَنْ حُمَيْدٍ ، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ ، عَنْ مُطَرِّفٍ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، قَالَ : قَدِمَ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ رَهْطٌ مِنْ بَنِي عَامِرٍ ، فَقَالُوا : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، إِنَّا نَجِدُ فِي الطَّرِيقِ هَوَامِي مِنَ الإِبِلِ ، فَقَالَ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " ضَالَّةُ الْمُسْلِمِ حَرَقُ النَّارِ " .
Mutarrif narrates from his father: Some people from Banu Amir came to the service of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). They said: O Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him), we found some camels on the way. The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: The lost property of Muslims is a flame of Hell.
Hadith 4889
أَخْبَرَنَا الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ إِدْرِيسَ الأَنْصَارِيُّ ، قَالَ : أَخْبَرَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ أَبِي بَكْرٍ ، عَنْ مَالِكٍ ، 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 وَإِلا فَشَأْنَكَ بِهَا " ، قَالَ : فَضَالَّةُ الْغَنَمِ ، قَالَ : " لَكَ أَوْ لأَخِيكَ أَوْ لِلذِّئْبِ " ، قَالَ : فَضَالَّةُ الإِبِلِ ، قَالَ : " مَا لَكَ ، وَلَهَا مَعَهَا سِقَاؤُهَا ، وَحِذَاؤُهَا تَرِدُ الْمَاءَ ، وَتَأْكُلُ الشَّجَرَ حَتَّى يَلْقَاهَا رَبُّهَا " ، قَالَ أَبُو حَاتِمٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ : الأَمْرُ بِاسْتِعْمَالِ الانْتِفَاعِ بِاللُّقَطَةِ بَعْدَ تَعْرِيفِ سَنَةٍ أَضْمَرَ فِيهِ اعْتِقَادَ الْقَلْبِ عَلَى رَدِّهَا عَلَى صَاحِبِهَا إِذَا جَاءَ وَعَرَّفَ عِفَاصَهَا وَوِكَاءَهَا " .
Sayyiduna Zayd bin Khalid (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: A man came to the service of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him). He asked you (peace be upon him) about something that is found lying somewhere. The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: Keep the identification of its pouch and the thing tied at the mouth of that pouch, then announce it for a year. If its owner comes, then fine. Otherwise, you may use it. That man asked, "What is the ruling about a lost goat?" The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: It will either be found by you, or by one of your brothers, or a wolf will take it. That man asked, "What is the ruling about a lost camel?" The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: What do you have to do with it? Its belly is with it, its legs are with it. It will reach water by itself and eat and drink from the trees, until its owner finds it. (Imam Ibn Hibban, may Allah have mercy on him, says:) The ruling of benefiting from a found lost item after announcing it for a year is in the case when a person believes in his heart that if the owner comes, he will return that item to its owner, and that person has kept the identification of its pouch and the thing tied at the mouth of the pouch.
