English translation

2507. It was narrated from Zaid bin Khâlid Al-Juhani that the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ was asked about lost property. He said: "Announce it for a year, then if someone describes it with its features, return it to him. If no one claims it, then remember the features of its leather bag and strap, and consume it (use it). Then if its owner comes along, give it to him." (Sahih)

Arabic text

2507 - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ الْحَنَفِيُّ، ح وحَدَّثَنَا حَرْمَلَةُ بْنُ يَحْيَى قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ وَهْبٍ قَالَا: حَدَّثَنَا الضَّحَّاكُ بْنُ عُثْمَانَ الْقُرَشِيُّ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي سَالِمٌ أَبُو النَّضْرِ، عَنْ بُسْرِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ الْجُهَنِيِّ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ سُئِلَ عَنِ اللُّقَطَةِ، فَقَالَ: «عَرِّفْهَا سَنَةً، فَإِنِ اعْتُرِفَتْ فَأَدِّهَا، فَإِنْ لَمْ تُعْتَرَفْ، فَاعْرِفْ عِفَاصَهَا وَوِعَاءَهَا، ثُمَّ كُلْهَا، فَإِنْ جَاءَ صَاحِبُهَا فَأَدِّهَا إِلَيْهِ»
