English translation

1710. It was reported from Ibn 'Ajlān, from 'Amr bin Shu'āib, from his father, from his grandfather, 'Abdullah bin 'Amr bin Al-'Ās, from the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ; that he was asked about (taking from) hanging fruits.[1] He replied, “Whoever is in need and eats of it, without gathering any in his garments, has no (sin) upon him. And whoever leaves with anything of it, he will be fined double its amount, and will be punished. And whoever steals from it after it has been placed in its drying place, and steals more than the price of a shield, will have (his hand) cut.” And he also mentioned regarding lost sheep and camels as other (narrations) have mentioned. He said: "And he was asked about lost items, to which he replied: وفي الرِّكازِ الخُمسُ". 'Whatever is found on well-traversed paths, or in inhabited villages, then announce it for a year. If its seeker comes for it, give it to him, and if he does not, then it is yours. And whatever is found in abandoned sites, then in that, and in Rikāz,[1] the Khumus (one-fifth) is due." (Hasan)

Arabic text

1710 - حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَجْلَانَ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ شُعَيْبٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ جَدِّهِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرِو بْنِ الْعَاصِ، عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنَّهُ سُئِلَ عَنِ الثَّمَرِ الْمُعَلَّقِ؟ فَقَالَ: «مَنْ أَصَابَ بِفِيهِ مِنْ ذِي حَاجَةٍ غَيْرَ مُتَّخِذٍ خُبْنَةً فَلَا شَيْءَ عَلَيْهِ، وَمَنْ خَرَجَ بِشَيْءٍ مِنْهُ فَعَلَيْهِ غَرَامَةُ مِثْلَيْهِ وَالْعُقُوبَةُ، وَمَنْ سَرَقَ مِنْهُ شَيْئًا بَعْدَ أَنْ يُؤْوِيَهُ الْجَرِينُ فَبَلَغَ ثَمَنَ الْمِجَنِّ فَعَلَيْهِ الْقَطْعُ» وَذَكَرَ فِي ضَالَّةِ الْإِبِلِ وَالْغَنَمِ كَمَا ذَكَرَهُ غَيْرُهُ، قَالَ: وَسُئِلَ عَنِ اللُّقَطَةِ، فَقَالَ: «مَا كَانَ مِنْهَا فِي طَرِيقِ الْمِيتَاءِ أَوِ الْقَرْيَةِ الْجَامِعَةِ فَعَرِّفْهَا سَنَةً، فَإِنْ جَاءَ طَالِبُهَا فَادْفَعْهَا إِلَيْهِ، وَإِنْ لَمْ يَأْتِ فَهِيَ لَكَ، وَمَا كَانَ فِي الْخَرَابِ يَعْنِي فَفِيهَا وَفِي الرِّكَازِ الْخُمُسُ».
