[Machine] A man asked the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said, "O Messenger of Allah, tell me about al-Luqatah (lost and found items)." He replied: "Recognize its container and its laces, then publicize it for a year. If its owner comes, return it to him. If not, then make use of it."
أَنَّ رَجُلًا سَأَلَ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَخْبِرْنِي عَنِ اللُّقَطَةِ؟ فَقَالَ «اعْرِفْ عِفَاصَهَا وَوِكَاءَهَا ثُمَّ عَرِّفْهَا سَنَةً فَإِنْ أَتَى بَاغِيهَا فَرُدَّهَا عَلَيْهِ وَإِلَّا فَاسْتَنْفِقْهَا»
