[Machine] An Arab came to the Prophet ﷺ and asked him about a lost sheep. The Prophet ﷺ told him to first describe it, then describe its size, its udder, and its drinking trough. If its owner comes, then give it to him, otherwise, spend it or enjoy it. The man asked, "O Messenger of Allah, what about a lost camel?" The Prophet's face changed and he said, "What do you have to do with it? It has its saddle and water container. It goes back to drinking and eating from trees. Leave it until it meets its owner."

A man asked the Prophet ﷺ about the picking up of a "Luqata" (fallen lost thing). The Prophet ﷺ replied, "Recognize and remember its tying material and its container, and make public announcement (about it) for one year, then utilize it but give it to its owner if he comes." Then the person asked about the lost camel. On that, the Prophet ﷺ got angry and his cheeks or his Face became red and he said, "You have no concern with it as it has its water container, and its feet and it will reach water, and eat (the leaves) of trees till its owner finds it." The man then asked about the lost sheep. The Prophet ﷺ replied, "It is either for you, for your brother (another person) or for the wolf."

A man came to Allah's Apostle ﷺ and asked him about picking up of stray articles. He said: Recognise (well) its bag and the strap (by which it is tied) then make announcement of that for a year. If its owner comes (within this time return that to him), otherwise it is yours. He (again) said: (What about) the lost goat? Thereupon he (the Holy Prophet) said: It is yours or for your brother, or for the wolf. He said: (What about) the lost camel? Thereupon he said: You have nothing to do with it; it has a leather bag along with it, and its shoes also. It comes to the watering-place, eats (the leaves of the) trees until its master finds him.

A man asked the Messenger of Allah (SWAS) about a find. He said: Make the matter known for a year, then note its string and its container and then use it for your purpose. Then if its owner comes, give it to him. He asked : Messenger of Allah, what about a stray sheep? He replied: Take it; that is for you, or for your brother, or for the wolf. He again asked: Messenger of Allah, What about stray camels? The Messenger of Allah (SWAS) became angry so much so that his cheeks became red or ( the narrator is doubtful) his face became red. He replied: What have you to do with them? They have with them their feet and their stomachs (for drink) till their master comes to him.

[Machine] An Arab man came to the Prophet ﷺ with a captured animal and said, "Identify its year and then identify its owner and protector. If someone comes to inform you about it, but if not, then you may keep it." The man asked, "O Messenger of Allah, what about a lost sheep?" He replied, "It belongs to you, your brother, or the wolf." The man asked, "What about a lost camel?" The face of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ changed and he said, "What is the matter with you and the camel? It has its shoes and water container, it returns to water and eats from the trees."

A man came to Messenger of Allah ﷺ and asked about Al-Luqata (a fallen thing). The Prophet ﷺ said, "Recognize its container and its tying material and then make a public announcement about it for one year and if its owner shows up, give it to him; otherwise use it as you like." The man said, "What about a lost sheep?" The Prophet ﷺ said, "It is for you, your brother or the wolf." The man said "What about a lost camel?" The Prophet ﷺ said, "Why should you take it as it has got its water-container (its stomach) and its hooves and it can reach the places of water and can eat the trees till its owner finds it?" (Using translation from Bukhārī 2372)

[Machine] He said: "A man came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ while I was with him, and he asked him about the stray livestock. He said, 'Know its brand and its shepherd, then announce it for a year.' He said, 'If no one claims it, then you may spend it.' He asked, 'What about the stray sheep?' He said, 'It belongs to you, your brother, or the wolf.' He asked, 'What about the stray camel?' He said, 'It has its vessel for water and its shoes for traveling, it will eat from the trees until its owner comes to claim it.'"

[Machine] A man asked the Messenger of Allahﷺ about a stray camel. He said, "What is its condition and what does it have with it in terms of its water container and saddle shoes? Leave it to eat from the trees and drink water until its owner comes to get it." The man then asked him about a stray sheep, and the Messenger of Allahﷺ said, "It belongs to you, your brother, or the wolf." Then he asked him about a lost object, and the Messenger of Allahﷺ said, "If you know its quantity, container, and contents, and its owner comes and recognizes its quantity, container, and contents, then give it to him. Otherwise, it belongs to you."

A man asked the Messenger of Allah (SWAS) about a find. He said: Make the matter known for a year, then note its string and its container and then use it for your purpose. Then if its owner comes, give it to him. He asked : Messenger of Allah, what about a stray sheep? He replied: Take it; that is for you, or for your brother, or for the wolf. He again asked: Messenger of Allah, What about stray camels? The Messenger of Allah (SWAS) became angry so much so that his cheeks became red or ( the narrator is doubtful) his face became red. He replied: What have you to do with them? They have with them their feet and their stomachs (for drink) till their master comes to him. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 1704)
