نَا أَبُو عُبَيْدٍ الْقَاسِمُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ ، نَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ رَاشِدٍ ، نَا دَاوُدُ بْنُ مِهْرَانَ ، عَنْ أَيُّوبَ السَّخْتِيَانِيِّ ، وَيَعْقُوبَ بْنِ عَطَاءٍ ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ شُعَيْبٍ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، عَنْ جَدِّهِ أَنّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، سُئِلَ " عَنْ ضَالَّةِ الإِبِلِ ، فَقَالَ : مَعَهَا سِقَاؤُهَا وَحِذَاؤُهَا تَرِدُ الْمَاءَ وَتُصِيبُ الشَّجَرَ فَلا تَعَرَّضْ لَهَا ، وَسُئِلَ عَنْ ضَالَّةِ الْغَنَمِ ، فَقَالَ : لَكَ ، أَوْ لأَخِيكَ ، أَوْ لِلذِّئْبِ فَخُذْهَا " .
Amr bin Shu'aib narrates from his father, from his grandfather, that the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) was asked about a lost camel. He said: "Its belly and its feet are with it; it will reach water on its own and eat from the trees, so do not worry about it." The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) was asked about a lost goat, and he said: "It will either come to you, or to one of your brothers, or a wolf will get it, so you should take hold of it."
