وَأَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو الْحَسَنِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ دَاوُدَ الْعَلَوِيُّ، أَخْبَرَنِي أَبُو حَامِدٍ ⦗٣٠٨⦘ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ يَحْيَى بْنِ بِلَالٍ الْبَزَّازُ، ثنا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ حَفْصِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي، ثنا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ طَهْمَانَ، عَنْ عَبَّادِ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ يَزِيدَ مَوْلَى الْمُنْبَعِثِ، عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ الْجُهَنِيِّ أَنَّهُ قَالَ: سُئِلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنِ الشَّاةِ الضَّالَّةِ، فَقَالَ: " لَكَ أَوْ لِأَخِيكَ أَوْ لِلذِّئْبِ "، وَسُئِلَ عَنِ الْبَعِيرِ، فَغَضِبَ وَاحْمَرَّ وَجْهُهُ فَقَالَ: " مَعَهُ سِقَاؤُهُ وَحِذَاؤُهُ، يَرِدُ الْمَاءَ، وَيَرْعَى الشَّجَرَ "، وَسُئِلَ عَنِ النَّفَقَةِ، فَقَالَ: " تُعَرِّفُهَا حَوْلًا، فَإِنْ جَاءَ صَاحِبُهَا دَفَعْتَهَا إِلَيْهِ، وَإِلَّا عَرَفْتَ وِكَاءَهَا أَوْ عِفَاصَهَا ثُمَّ أَفَضْتَهَا فِي مَالِكَ، فَإِنْ جَاءَ صَاحِبُهَا دَفَعْتَهَا إِلَيْهِ ".
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Zayd bin Khalid (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was asked about a stray sheep, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "It is for you, or for your brother, or for the wolf." He was asked about a camel, and his (peace and blessings be upon him) face turned red and he became angry. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "It has its water supply and its hooves with it; it can drink water and eat the leaves of trees." He was asked about (found) money, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Announce it for a year. If its owner comes, give it to him; otherwise, recognise its tie and its container well and then add it to your own wealth; if its owner comes, give it to him."
