ahmad:6683Yaʿlá > Muḥammad b. Isḥāq > ʿAmr b. Shuʿayb from his father from his grandfather

[Machine] I heard a man from Muzaynah asking the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , he said, "O Messenger of Allah, I have come to ask you about a stray camel. What should I do if it has its saddle and water bag and is eating from the trees and drinking water? Should I leave it until its owner comes?" He said, "Leave it until its owner comes." He then asked, "What about a stray sheep?" He said, "It belongs to you, your brother, or the wolf. It should be gathered until its owner comes." He asked, "What about the stray female camel that is found in its designated grazing area?" He said, "Its price is double with the addition of a whip and whatever is taken from its udders, and includes the cutting if it reaches the stage where it can be cut. Then its price is the price of an adult she-camel." He asked, "O Messenger of Allah, what about the fruits and what is taken from them in their sleeves?" He said, "Whoever takes it with his mouth without picking it up, then there is nothing on him. And whoever carries it, then its price is double with the addition of a whip and a stick. And whatever is taken from its branch, then its price is the price of an adult she-camel." He asked, "O Messenger of Allah, what about the abandoned things found in the way of the Amarah?" He said, "Announce it, and if its owner is found, return it to him, otherwise it is yours." He asked, "What about the abandoned things found in the regular desert?" He said, "It belongs to you, and the fifth belongs to the public treasury."

ahmad:6936Yazīd > Muḥammad b. Isḥāq > ʿAmr b. Shuʿayb from his father from his grandfather

[Machine] I heard a man from Muzaynah asking the Prophet ﷺ , mentioning a narration from Ibn Idris. He asked him about fruits and what is inside the sleeves (of garments). He replied, "Whoever eats with his mouth and does not take handfuls of food, then there is nothing upon him. And whoever is found to have carried and bears the cost, then he must pay double and be lashed with a whip. And whatever he has taken from the shackles, then it is to be cut off when it reaches the amount that is usually taken. Then the price is the same as the hijazi dinar." The man asked, "O Messenger of Allah, what do we find in a public road with gathered items?" He said, "Identify it by surrounding it, and if its owner comes, return it to him, otherwise it is yours." He asked, "O Messenger of Allah, what do we find in ruins?" He replied, "In it, and Furfur has a fifth."

ahmad:6891Ibn Idrīs > Ibn Isḥāq > ʿAmr b. Shuʿayb from his father from his grandfather

[Machine] I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and a man from Muzaynah asking him about a lost camel. He said, "If it has its shoes and water container with it, it eats from the trees and quenches its thirst from the water, so leave it until its owner comes. Then he asked him about a lost sheep. He said, "It belongs to you, your brother, or the wolf. Gather them until its owner comes". He then asked him about the stray camels in the pastures. He said, "Its price is double and its strike is equivalent to two camels. Whatever is taken from what is given, the owner has the right to obtain it until it reaches the value of a she-camel. He asked him, "O Messenger of Allah, can we find the Lqata (stray animal) in the traveled road?" He said, "Recognize it for a year. If its owner comes, give it to him, otherwise, it belongs to you". He asked, "O Messenger of Allah, what about what is found in the desolate areas?" He said, "It belongs to you, and in the fifth (of its value) is the Rikaaz."

[Machine] I heard a man from Muzaynah ask the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , and I have heard about the stray camel. The Prophet replied, "If it has its water bag and shoes, the wolf will not eat it. It will drink water and eat from trees, so leave it in its place until its owner comes. The man asked, "What about a stray sheep?" The Prophet said, "It belongs to you, your brother, or the wolf, so gather them until their owner comes." The man asked, "What if he cannot be found?" The Prophet said, "If it was not found in the inhabited areas or on the dangerous roads, recognize it as a year's sustenance, but if the owner comes, return it to him. The man asked, "O Messenger of Allah, what about abandoned property in the city?" The Prophet replied, "It includes the fifth of the discovered property." This was narrated by 'Amr bin Al-Harith and Hisham bin Sa'd from 'Amr bin Shu'aib from his father from Ibn 'Umar, and its meaning is the same. The man asked, "What about stray sheep?" The Prophet said, "If there is edible food for you, your brother, or the wolf, then keep it for your brother. This is the narration found in the book of Zakah."
