اخبرنا الحسين بن إدريس الانصاري ، قال: اخبرنا احمد بن ابي بكر ، عن مالك ، عن ربيعة بن ابي عبد الرحمن ، عن يزيد مولى المنبعث، عن زيد بن خالد الجهني ، قال: جاء رجل إلى النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم، فساله عن اللقطة، فقال:" اعرف عفاصها ووكاءها، ثم عرفها سنة، فإن جاء صاحبها، وإلا فشانك بها"، قال: فضالة الغنم، قال:" هي لك او لاخيك او للذئب"، قال: فضالة الإبل، قال:" ما لك ولها معها سقاؤها وحذاؤها ترد الماء، وتاكل الشجر حتى يلقاها ربها" .
Sayyiduna Zayd bin Khalid al-Juhani (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: A man came to the service of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) and asked him about a lost item that is found. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: Remember its pouch and its string for identification, and announce it for one year. If its owner comes, then fine; otherwise, you may use it. He asked about a lost goat (what is the ruling regarding it). The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: It will either come to you, or to one of your brothers, or to the wolves. He asked about a lost camel (what is the ruling regarding it). The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: What do you have to do with it? Its belly is with it, its legs are with it, it will drink water itself, eat the leaves of trees, until its owner reaches it.
