1719. 'Abdur-Rahmān bin 'Uthmān At-Taimī narrated that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ forbade (picking up) the lost items of pilgrims. Ahmad (bin Šalih) said: "Ibn Wahb said (meaning): 'He should leave the lost items of pilgrims until its owner finds it.'" (Šahīh)
1719 - حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ خَالِدِ بْنِ مَوْهَبٍ، وَأَحْمَدُ بْنُ صَالِحٍ، قَالَا: حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ، أَخْبَرَنِي عَمْرٌو، عَنْ بُكَيْرٍ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ حَاطِبٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ التَّيْمِيِّ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ «نَهَى عَنْ لُقَطَةِ الْحَاجِّ». قَالَ أَحْمَدُ: قَالَ ابْنُ وَهْبٍ: يَعْنِي فِي لُقَطَةِ الْحَاجِّ يَتْرُكُهَا حَتَّى يَجِدَهَا صَاحِبُهَا، قَالَ ابْنُ مَوْهَبٍ، عَنْ عَمْرٍو

The Hajj pilgrims do not stay for long. They hurry back home on completion of the rites of Hajj. This makes year-long announcements of finds impossible. It is, therefore, better not to pick up their lost things and, in case they are, quick and repeated announcements should be made, or those things should be deposited with the authorities dealing with lost and found articles.
