[4499] 2 - (...) It was narrated from Zaid bin Khâlid Al-Juhanî that a man asked the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ about picking up lost items. He (ﷺ) said: "Announce it for one year, then memorize the features of its strap and bag, then spend from it. Then if its owner comes, pay him back.” He said: O Messenger of Allâh, what about a lost sheep? He (ﷺ) said: “Take it, for it will be either for you, for your brother or for the wolf.” He said: O Messenger of Allâh, what about a lost camel? He (the narrator) said: The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ became so angry that his cheeks turned red - or his face turned red - and he (ﷺ) said: “What have you to do with it? It has its feet and its water supply until its owner finds it.”

Arabic text

2 - (1722) وحَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ أَيُّوبَ، وَقُتَيْبَةُ، وَابْنُ حُجْرٍ، قَالَ ابْنُ حُجْرٍ: أَخْبَرَنَا، وقَالَ الْآخَرَانِ: حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ وَهُوَ ابْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، عَنْ رَبِيعَةَ بْنِ أَبِي عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ، مَوْلَى الْمُنْبَعِثِ، عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ الْجُهَنِيِّ، أَنَّ رَجُلًا سَأَلَ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنِ اللُّقَطَةِ، فَقَالَ: «عَرِّفْهَا سَنَةً، ثُمَّ اعْرِفْ وِكَاءَهَا، وَعِفَاصَهَا، ثُمَّ اسْتَنْفِقْ بِهَا، فَإِنْ جَاءَ رَبُّهَا فَأَدِّهَا إِلَيْهِ»، فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، فَضَالَّةُ الْغَنَمِ؟ قَالَ: «خُذْهَا فَإِنَّمَا هِيَ لَكَ، أَوْ لِأَخِيكَ، أَوْ لِلذِّئْبِ»، قَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، فَضَالَّةُ الْإِبِلِ؟ قَالَ: فَغَضِبَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ حَتَّى احْمَرَّتْ وَجْنَتَاهُ - أَوِ احْمَرَّ وَجْهُهُ - ثُمَّ قَالَ: «مَا لَكَ وَلَهَا، مَعَهَا حِذَاؤُهَا، وَسِقَاؤُهَا، حَتَّى يَلْقَاهَا رَبُّهَا»،
