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 him about a lost item (luqatah). The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Recognize its container (in which the lost item is, whether it is of leather or cloth), and recognize its binding, then announce its matter to the people for a year. If its owner is found, give it to him; if not, then take it for yourself." Then the man said: "If a stray goat is found, O Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him?" The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "The goat will benefit you, or your brother, or the wolf will eat it." Then the man said: "If a stray camel is found?" The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "What concern do you have with the camel? It has its water with it, and its shoes with it; wherever it finds water, it drinks, and whatever tree it finds, it eats, until its owner finds it."
