33. The Found
٣٣۔ كِتَابُ اللُّقَطَةِ
[Machine] To Abu Darda, don't ask anyone anything. I said, what if I need something? He said, follow the harvesters and see what falls from them, then pick it up, hit it, grind it, knead it, then eat it, and don't ask anyone anything.
لِي أَبُو الدَّرْدَاءِ ؓ لَا تَسْأَلِي أَحَدًا شَيْئًا قُلْتُ إِنِ احْتَجْتُ؟ قَالَ تَتَبَّعِي الْحَصَّادِينَ فَانْظُرِي مَا يَسْقُطُ مِنْهُمْ فَخِذَيْهِ فَاخْبِطِيهِ ثُمَّ اطْحَنِيهِ ثُمَّ اعْجِنِيهِ ثُمَّ كُلِيهِ وَلَا تَسْأَلِي أَحَدًا شَيْئًا
[Machine] I heard Al-Awza'i saying, "The hand of the reaper did not commit a mistake, nor did the hand of the plucker harvest unjustly. There is no way for the owner of the crop, but it is only for the passer-by and the wayfarers."
سَمِعْتُ الْأَوْزَاعِيَّ يَقُولُ مَا أَخَطَّتْ يَدُ الْحَاصِدِ أَوْ جَنَتْ يَدُ الْقَاطِفِ فَلَيْسَ لِصَاحِبِ الزَّرْعِ عَلَيْهِ سَبِيلٌ إِنَّمَا هُوَ لِلْمَارَّةِ وَأَبْنَاءِ السَّبِيلِ
