[Machine] From the Prophet ﷺ in the narration, he said regarding the lost item, he should describe it in detail, including its number, container, and power, and benefit from it. If its owner comes, and describes its number and power, then give it to him. Abu Dawood said it was only reported by Hammam who described its number. The Sheikh said, it has been ...  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فِي اللُّقَطَةِ قَالَ فِي التَّعْرِيفِ عَرِّفْهَا عَامَيْنِ أَوْ ثَلَاثَةً وَقَالَ اعْرِفْ عَدَدَهَا وَوِعَاءَهَا وَوِكَاءَهَا وَاسْتَنْفِعْ بِهَا فَإِنْ جَاءَ صَاحِبُهَا فَعَرَفَ عَدَدَهَا وَوِكَاءَهَا فَادْفَعْهَا إِلَيْهِ قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ لَيْسَ يَقُولُ إِلَّا حَمَّادٌ فَعَرَفَ عَدَدَهَا قَالَ الشَّيْخُ قَدْ  

[Machine] Narrated by the Prophet ﷺ about the Lqiata, he said, "Know its quantity, its measures, and its container. If someone comes and informs you about its number and measures, give it to him. Otherwise, enjoy it for yourself."  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فِي اللُّقَطَةِ فَقَالَ اعْرِفْ عَدَدَهَا وَوِكَاءَهَا وَوِعَاءَهَا فَإِنْ جَاءَ أَحَدٌ يُخْبِرُكَ بِعَدَدِهَا وَوِكَائِهَا فَادْفَعْهَا إِلَيْهِ وَإِلَّا فَاسْتَمْتِعْ بِها  

[Machine] About the Prophet ﷺ in the hadith of Looqatah, he said: "If someone brings the lost item and recognizes its owner and the quantity, then give it back to him." Abu Dawood said: Hammad also narrated from Ubaidullah ibn Umar from Amr ibn Shuaib from his father from his grandfather from the Prophet ﷺ with a similar narration.  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فِي حَدِيثِ اللُّقَطَةِ قَالَ فَإِنْ جَاءَ بَاغِيهَا فَعَرَفَ عِفَاصَهَا وَعَدَدَهَا فَادْفَعْهَا إِلَيْهِ قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ قَالَ حَمَّادٌ أَيْضًا عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ شُعَيْبٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ جَدِّهِ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ مِثْلَهُ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ was asked about a stray camel. He mentioned a hadith and then he was asked about a found object. He said, "Identify its quantity, container, and description, and announce it publicly. If its owner comes and identifies its quantity and description, then return it to him. Otherwise, it belongs to you." Abu Dawud said, "This addition was added by Hammam ibn Salamah in the hadith of Salamah ibn Kuhail, Yahya ibn Sa'id, Rabiah, and Ubaidullah. If its owner comes and identifies its description and container, then return it to him. It is not considered a preserved item." The sheikh said, "We have narrated it from Ath-Thawri from Salamah ibn Kuhail."  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ سُئِلَ عَنْ ضَالَّةِ الْإِبِلِ فَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ قَالَ ثُمَّ سَأَلَهُ عَنِ اللُّقَطَةِ فَقَالَ اعْرِفْ عَدَدَهَا وَوِعَاءَهَا وَعِفَاصَهَا وَعَرِّفْهَا عَامًا فَإِنْ جَاءَ صَاحِبُهَا فَعَرَفَ عَدَدَهَا وَعِفَاصَهَا فَادْفَعْهَا إِلَيْهِ وَإِلَّا فَهِيَ لَكَ قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ وَهَذِهِ الزِّيَادَةُ الَّتِي زَادَهَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ فِي حَدِيثِ سَلَمَةَ بْنِ كُهَيْلٍ وَيَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ وَرَبِيعَةَ وَعُبَيْدِ اللهِ إِنْ جَاءَ صَاحِبُهَا فَعَرَفَ عِفَاصَهَا وَوِكَاءَهَا فَادْفَعْهَا إِلَيْهِ لَيْسَتْ بِمَحْفُوظَةٍ قَالَ الشَّيْخُ قَدْ رُوِّينَاهُ عَنِ الثَّوْرِيِّ عَنْ سَلَمَةَ بْنِ كُهَيْلٍ  

[Machine] An Arab man came to the Prophet ﷺ with a camel. He said, "Identify its age for me, then identify its womb and its suckling." If someone comes to inform you of it, then accept it, otherwise, spend it (in charity). And he mentioned the rest of the conversation.  

جَاءَ أَعْرَابِيٌّ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ بِلُقَطَةٍ فَقَالَ عَرِّفْهَا سَنَةً ثُمَّ اعْرِفْ عِفَاصَهَا وَوِكَاءَهَا فَإِنْ جَاءَ أَحَدٌ يُخْبِرُكَ بِهَا وَإِلَّا فَاسْتَنْفِقْهَا وَذَكَرَ بَاقِيَ الْحَدِيثِ  

[Machine] Imam Shafi'i said: I give fatwa to the person who knows the value, quality, quantity, weight, and verifies that he did not abandon any falsehood that should be given to him, nor should he be forced to make a judgment except with clear evidence based on it, just as the rights are established. Then he went on to say that the Prophet ﷺ said: Know its value and quality, and Allah knows best how to fulfill its value and quality along with what is fulfilled from it, and he should know when he puts it in his property that it is the found item without his property. It is possible that he relied on the truthfulness of the confessor, and this is the most obvious. The saying of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ is that the burden of proof is on the claimant, so this is a claimant. Have you ever thought that if ten or more people described it accurately and they all got it right, should we give it to them, will they be partners in it? Even if they were a thousand or two thousand, and we know that they are all liars except one, without a doubt, and maybe that one could be a liar who does not deserve anyone with this attribute.
