Bayhaqi 12058 — Rich and poor may use a lost item if it is not claimed

أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَلِيٍّ الرُّوذْبَارِيُّ، أنبأ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَكْرٍ، ثنا أَبُو دَاوُدَ، ثنا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، ثنا اللَّيْثُ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَجْلَانَ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ شُعَيْبٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ جَدِّهِ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَمْرِو بْنِ الْعَاصِ، عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنَّهُ سُئِلَ عَنِ اللُّقَطَةِ، فَقَالَ: " مَا كَانَ مِنْهَا فِي طَرِيقِ الْمِئْتَاءِ وَالْقَرْيَةِ الْجَامِعَةِ فَعَرِّفُوهَا سَنَةً، فَإِنْ جَاءَ صَاحِبُهَا فَادْفَعْهَا إِلَيْهِ، وَإِنْ لَمْ يَأْتِ فَهِيَ لَكَ، وَمَا كَانَ فِي الْخَرَابِ فَفِيهَا وَفِي الرِّكَازِ الْخُمُسُ ".
Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Amr bin al-As (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that he was asked about a found item, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whatever is found on a frequented road or in an inhabited town, announce it for a year. If its owner comes, give it to him; if he does not come, it is yours. And whatever is found in a ruin, then in it and in buried treasure (rikaz) there is one fifth (khumus)."
