1718. It was reported by 'Ikrimah (who said), "I believe it was Abū Hurairah who said that the Prophet ﷺ said: 'The penalty for (taking) a lost camel and hiding it, is its price, and an equal amount on top of that.'" (Da'if)

Arabic text

1718 - حَدَّثَنَا مَخْلَدُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، أَخْبَرَنَا مَعْمَرٌ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ، عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ، أَحْسَبُهُ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «ضَالَّةُ الْإِبِلِ الْمَكْتُومَةُ غَرَامَتُهَا وَمِثْلُهَا مَعَهَا»
