Ibn Shihab (may Allah have mercy on him) said: In the time of Sayyiduna Umar bin al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him), stray camels were left to breed; no one took hold of them, until, when the time of Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) came, he ordered that they be announced, then they were sold, and when their owner came, he was given their price.
