Bayhaqi 12050 — Rich and poor may use a lost item if it is not claimed

أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ، أَخْبَرَنِي أَبُو النَّضْرِ الْفَقِيهُ، ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ نَصْرٍ، ثنا يَحْيَى بْنُ يَحْيَى قَالَ: قَرَأْتُ عَلَى مَالِكٍ، عَنْ رَبِيعَةَ بْنِ أَبِي عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ مَوْلَى الْمُنْبَعِثِ، عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ الْجُهَنِيِّ أَنَّهُ قَالَ: جَاءَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَسْأَلُهُ عَنِ اللُّقَطَةِ، فَقَالَ: " اعْرِفْ عِفَاصَهَا وَوِكَاءَهَا ثُمَّ عَرِّفْهَا سَنَةً، فَإِنْ جَاءَ صَاحِبُهَا وَإِلَّا فَشَأْنَكَ بِهَا "، قَالَ فَضَالَّةُ الْغَنَمِ؟ قَالَ: " لَكَ أَوْ لِأَخِيكَ أَوْ لِلذِّئْبِ "، قَالَ: فَضَالَّةُ الْإِبِلِ؟ قَالَ: " مَا لَكَ وَلَهَا، مَعَهَا سِقَاؤُهَا وَحِذَاؤُهَا، تَرِدُ الْمَاءَ، وَتَأَكُلُ الشَّجَرَ حَتَّى يَلْقَاهَا رَبُّهَا " رَوَاهُ مُسْلِمٌ فِي الصَّحِيحِ عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ يَحْيَى وَرَوَاهُ الْبُخَارِيُّ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ يُوسُفَ وَغَيْرِهِ، عَنْ مَالِكٍ.
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 about a found item (luqatah). He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Recognise its container and its tie well, then announce it for a year. If its owner comes, give it to him; otherwise it is yours." He asked: "What is the ruling on a stray sheep?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "It is for you, or for your brother, or for the wolf." He asked about a stray camel, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "What have you to do with it? It has its water supply and its hooves with it; it can go down to water and eat the leaves of trees until its owner finds it."
