1705. (Another chain) from Mālik with his chain and its meaning (similar to no. 1704). He added: "...Its humps, it goes to the water, and eats of the trees." And he did not say: "take it" about the lost sheep. And he said regarding lost items, "Announce it for a year, so if its owner comes, or else do with it as you please." And he did not say to spend of it. (Ṣaḥīḥ)
Abū Dāwūd said: It was reported by Ath-Thawrī, Sulaimān bin Bilāl, and Ḥammād bin Salamah from
Rabī'ah, similarly; they did not say:"Take it."
