1372. Zaid bin Khālid Al-Juhni narrated: "A man asked the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ about lost items. So he said: 'Make a public announcement about it for one year. Remember its string, its container, and its sack. Then use it, and if its owner comes then give it to him.' So he said to him: 'O Messenger of Allāh! What about Some of the people of knowledge among the Companions of the Prophet ﷺ and others said that preemption is for the neighbour, and they argued using the Marfū' Hadīth of the Prophet ﷺ: "The neighbour of a home has more right to the home" and his saying: "The neighbor has more right because of his nearness." This is the view of Ath-Thawrī, Ibn Al-Mubārak and the people of Al-Kūfah.
