English translation

1707. It was reported from 'Abdullāh bin Yazīd, from his father Yazīd, the freed slave of Al-Munba'ith, from Zaid bin Khālid Al-Juhanī, that he said: "The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ was asked" so he mentioned similar to the narration of Rabī'ah. (no. 1704) He said: "And he was asked about the lost item, so he said: "Announce it for a year, and if its owner comes, then give it back to him, else be familiar with its drawstring and pouch, then add it to your possessions. And if its owner comes to you, return it to him.” (Sahih)

1707 - حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ حَفْصٍ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي، حَدَّثَنِي إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ طَهْمَانَ، عَنْ عَبَّادِ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ يَزِيدَ مَوْلَى الْمُنْبَعِثِ، عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ الْجُهَنِيِّ، أَنَّهُ قَالَ: سُئِلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَذَكَرَ نَحْوَ حَدِيثِ رَبِيعَةَ، قَالَ: وَسُئِلَ عَنِ اللُّقَطَةِ، فَقَالَ: «تُعَرِّفُهَا حَوْلًا، فَإِنْ جَاءَ صَاحِبُهَا دَفَعْتَهَا إِلَيْهِ، وَإِلَّا عَرَفْتَ وِكَاءَهَا وَعِفَاصَهَا، ثُمَّ أَفِضْهَا فِي مَالِكَ، فَإِنْ جَاءَ صَاحِبُهَا فَادْفَعْهَا إِلَيْهِ».
