nasai-kubra:5784ʿAlī b. Ḥujr > Ismāʿīl > Rabīʿah > Yazīd a freed slave of al-Munbaʿith > Zayd b. Khālid al-Juhanī

[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.  

الكبرى للنسائي:٥٧٨٤أَخْبَرَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ حُجْرٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ عَنْ رَبِيعَةَ عَنْ يَزِيدَ مَوْلَى الْمُنْبَعِثِ عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ الْجُهَنِيِّ

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] He said that a man came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and asked him about "Al-Luqatah" (lost property). The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Know its description and its container, then describe it for a year. If its owner comes, give it to him, otherwise, it is yours." This is mentioned in the authentic narration of Malik and its meaning.  

البيهقي:١٢٠٨٣أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ ثنا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبُ أنبأ الرَّبِيعُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ أنبأ الشَّافِعِيُّ أنبأ مَالِكٌ عَنْ رَبِيعَةَ بْنِ أَبِي عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ عَنْ يَزِيدَ مَوْلَى الْمُنْبَعِثِ عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ الْجُهَنِيِّ

أَنَّهُ قَالَ جَاءَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَسَأَلَهُ عَنِ اللُّقَطَةِ فَقَالَ اعْرِفْ عِفَاصَهَا وَوِكَاءَهَا ثُمَّ عَرِّفْهَا سَنَةً فَإِنْ جَاءَ صَاحِبُهَا وَإِلَّا فَشَأْنَكَ بِهَا أَخْرَجَاهُ فِي الصَّحِيحِ مِنْ حَدِيثِ مَالِكٍ وَبِمَعْنَاهُ  

رَوَاهُ سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ بِلَالٍ عَنْ رَبِيعَةَ وَيَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ يَزِيدَ
