The Prophet ﷺ said: If anyone finds an animal whose owners were helpless to provide fodder to it and so they turned it out (of their house), and he took it and looked after it, it will belong to him. Abu Dawud said: This is the tradition of Hammad. It is more plain and perfect. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 3524)

البيهقي:١٢١١٣ – أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَلِيٍّ الرُّوذْبَارِيُّ أنبأ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَكْرٍ ثنا أَبُو دَاوُدَ ثنا مُوسَى بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ ثنا حَمَّادٌ قَالَ وَثنا مُوسَى ثنا أَبَانُ عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللهِ بْنِ حُمَيْدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الْحِمْيَرِيِّ عَنِ الشَّعْبِيِّ قَالَ غَيْرُ أَبَانَ إِنَّ عَامِرًا الشَّعْبِيَّ حَدَّثَهُ

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ مَنْ وَجَدَ دَابَّةً قَدْ عَجَزَ عَنْهَا أَهْلُهَا أَنْ يَعْلِفُوهَا فَسَيَّبُوهَا فَأَخَذَهَا فَأَحْيَاهَا فَهِيَ لَهُ قَالَ فِي حَدِيثِ أَبَانَ قَالَ عُبَيْدُ اللهِ فَقُلْتُ عَمَّنْ قَالَ؟ عَنْ غَيْرِ وَاحِدٍ مِنَ أَصْحَابِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ هَذَا لَفْظُ حَدِيثِ حَمَّادٍ وَهُوَ أَبْيَنُ وَأَتَمُّ
