٢٦۔ كِتَابُ اللُّقَطَةِ
[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ was asked about lost property. He said, "Identify it for a year. If it is not identified, then identify its rope and container. Then consume it, but if its owner comes, give it back to him." [346] 5780 narrated by Harun bin Abdullah, narrated by Ibn Abi Fudayk and Abu Bakr Al-Hanafi, both narrated by Ad-Dhahak bin Uthman bin Jabir.
سُئِلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ عَنِ اللُّقَطَةِ قَالَ «عَرِّفْهَا سَنَةً فَإِنْ لَمْ تَعْرِفْ فَاعْرِفْ عِفَاصَهَا وَوِكَاءَهَا ثُمَّ كُلْهَا فَإِنْ جَاءَ صَاحِبُهَا فَأَدِّهَا إِلَيْهِ» [346] 5780 عَنْ هَارُونَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ عَنْ ابْنِ أَبِي فُدَيْكٍ وَأَبِي بَكْرٍ الْحَنَفِيِّ كِلَاهُمَا عَنِ الضَّحَّاكِ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ بِهِ
[Machine] A man asked the Prophet ﷺ about the lost camel and asked him about the found camel. He said, "Know its humps, its bridle, and its number. Then describe it publicly for a year. If its owner comes, and he describes its humps, its bridle, and its number, then give it to him."
أَنَّ رَجُلًا سَأَلَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ عَنْ ضَالَّةِ الْإِبِلِ وَسَأَلَهُ عَنِ اللُّقَطَةِ قَالَ «اعْرِفْ عِفَاصَهَا وَوِكَاءَهَا وَعَدَدَهَا ثُمَّ عَرِّفْهَا عَامًا فَإِنْ جَاءَ صَاحِبُهَا فَعَرَفَ عِفَاصَهَا وَعَدَدَهَا وَوِكَاءَهَا فَأَعْطِهِ إِيَّاهَا»
[Machine] "The Prophet ﷺ was asked about the found item, so he said, 'Identify its container and its tie, and announce it for a year. If it is claimed, give it back to its owner; otherwise, mix it with your own property.'"
أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ سُئِلَ عَنِ اللُّقَطَةِ فَقَالَ «اعْرِفْ عِفَاصَهَا وَوِكَاءَهَا وَعَرِّفْهَا سَنَةً فَإِنِ اعْتُرِفَتْ وَإِلَّا فَاخْلِطْهَا بِمَالِكَ»
[Machine] A man came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and asked him about "lukata" (a lost item). He said, "Recognize its strap and its tied knot, then describe it for a year. If its owner comes, give it back to him, otherwise, it is yours."
جَاءَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَسَأَلَهُ عَنِ اللُّقَطَةِ فَقَالَ «اعْرِفْ عِفَاصَهَا وَوِكَاءَهَا ثُمَّ عَرِّفْهَا سَنَةً فَإِنْ جَاءَ صَاحِبُهَا وَإِلَّا فَشَأْنُكَ بِهَا»
[Machine] A man asked the Messenger of Allah ﷺ about Luqata (lost and found items), so he said, "Announce it for a year, then recognize its description and features, then spend it. If its owner comes, give it back to him." Abu Abdul Rahman told us, and this hadith was narrated from Ismail bin Umayyah from Rabee'ah from Abdullah bin Yazid from a man sent with another wording.
أَنَّ رَجُلًا سَأَلَ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ عَنِ اللُّقَطَةِ فَقَالَ «عَرِّفْهَا سَنَةً ثُمَّ اعْرِفْ وِكَاءَهَا وَعِفَاصَهَا ثُمَّ اسْتَنْفِقْ فَإِنْ جَاءَ صَاحِبُهَا فَأَدِّهَا إِلَيْهِ» قَالَ لَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ وَقَدْ رُوِيَ هَذَا الْحَدِيثُ عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ أُمَيَّةَ عَنْ رَبِيعَةَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ عَنْ رَجُلٍ مُرْسَلٍ بِلَفْظٍ آخَرَ
[Machine] About a man from the companions of the Prophet ﷺ , from the Prophet ﷺ , that he was asked about a lost item, so he said: "Recognize its strap and its pouch, and then announce it for three days at the door of the mosque. If its owner comes, give it to him, and if he doesn't come, keep it for a year, and if its owner comes, give it to him, otherwise, it is up to you." Abu Abdul Rahman said to us, and this hadith was narrated by Abbad bin Ishaq from Abdullah bin Yazid from his father from Zaid bin Khalid.
عَنْ رَجُلٍ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَنَّهُ سُئِلَ عَنِ الضَّالَّةِ فَقَالَ «اعْرِفْ عِفَاصَهَا وَوِكَاءَهَا ثُمَّ عَرِّفْهَا ثَلَاثَةَ أَيَّامٍ عَلَى بَابِ الْمَسْجِدِ فَإِنْ جَاءَ صَاحِبُهَا فَادْفَعْهَا إِلَيْهِ وَإِنْ لَمْ يَأْتِ فَعَرِّفْهَا سَنَةً فَإِنْ جَاءَ صَاحِبُهَا وَإِلَّا فَشَأْنُكَ بِهَا» قَالَ لَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ وَقَدْ رَوَى هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ عَبَّادُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ
The Messenger of Allah (SWAS) was asked about a find. He replied : Make the matter known for a year; if its owner comes, give it to him, otherwise note its string and its container and have it along with your property. If its owner comes, deliver it to him. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 1707)
أَنَّهُ قَالَ سُئِلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ عَنِ الشَّاةِ الضَّالَّةِ وَسُئِلَ عَنِ اللُّقَطَةِ فَقَالَ تُعَرِّفُهَا حَوْلًا فَإِنْ جَاءَ صَاحِبُهَا دَفَعْتَهَا إِلَيْهِ وَإِلَّا عَرَفَتْ وِكَاءَهَا أَوْ قَالَ عِفَاصَهَا ثُمَّ أفضها فِي مَالِكَ فَإِنْ جَاءَ صَاحِبُهَا دَفَعْتَهَا إِلَيْهِ
