suyuti:3491a

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)   

السيوطي:٣٤٩١a

"اعْرِف عِفاصَها، ووكاءَها، ثُمَّ عرِّفها سَنةً، فإِن جاءَ صاحبُها، وإلّا فشَأنَكَ بها، قِيلَ: فَضَالَّةُ الغَنمِ؟ قال: هي لك، أو لأخيك، أوْ للذئب، قِيلَ: فَضَالَّةُ الإِبل؟ قال: ما لك ولها؟ مَعَها سقَاؤُها وحِذاؤُها تَرِدُ الماءَ، وتأكلُ الشجرَ حتّى يلْقاها ربُّها" .

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.

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.

Malik related to me from Rabia ibn Abi Abd ar-Rahman from Yazid, the mawla of al-Munbaith that Zayd ibn Khalid al-Juhani said, "A man came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and asked him about finds. He said, 'Memorize the characteristics of the object found, then publicise it for a year. If the owner comes, give it to him. If not, then it is your business.' He said, 'What about lost sheep, Messenger of Allah?' He said, 'They are yours, your brother's or the wolf's.' He said, 'And the lost camel?' He said, 'It's none of your concern. It has its water and its feet. It will reach water and eat trees until its owner finds it.' "

[Machine] "He (the Prophet) was asked or a man asked the Prophet about a lost sheep. He said, 'It belongs to you or to the wolf.' The man said, 'O Messenger of Allah, what do you say about the lost camel?' He said, 'What do you and it have together? It has its saddle, its shoes, and it eats from the tips of the trees.' The man said, 'O Messenger of Allah, what do you say about a leaf if I find it?' He said, 'Know its container, its ins and outs, and its quantity. Then, recognize it for a year. If its owner comes, return it to him. Otherwise, it belongs to you or you can enjoy it or something similar to that.'"

[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.

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)
