[Machine] I heard Al-Sha'abi saying, "Whoever abandons his livestock and leaves it, it belongs to whoever revives it." I asked, "Whose statement is this, O Abu Amr?" He replied, "If you want, I will count for you so and so from the companions of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. This is a disputed hadith regarding its authenticity, and it is disconnected from the Prophet ﷺ. And everyone has the right to his property until he gives it to someone else. And Allah knows best."
سَمِعْتُ الشَّعْبِيَّ يَقُولُ مَنْ قَامَتْ عَلَيْهِ دَابَّتُهُ فَتَرَكَهَا فَهِيَ لِمَنْ أَحْيَاهَا قُلْتُ عَمَّنْ هَذَا يَا أَبَا عَمْرٍو؟ فَقَالَ إِنْ شِئْتَ عَدَدْتُ لَكَ كَذَا وَكَذَا مِنَ أَصْحَابِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ هَذَا حَدِيثٌ مُخْتَلَفٌ فِي رَفْعِهِ وَهُوَ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ مُنْقَطِعٌ وَكُلُّ أَحَدٍ أَحَقُّ بِمَالِهِ حَتَّى يَجْعَلَهُ لِغَيْرِهِ وَاللهُ أَعْلَمُ
