Bismillah Walhamdulillah Was Salaatu Was Salaam 'ala Rasulillah
Narrated Zaid bin Khalid Al-Juhani (Radi-Allahu 'anhu):
A man asked the Prophet (Sallallahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam) about the picking up
of a "Luqata" (fallen lost thing). The Prophet (Sallallahu 'Alaihi Wa
Sallam) 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 (Sallallahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam)
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 (Sallallahu 'Alaihi Wa
Sallam) replied, "It is either for you, for your brother (another person)
or for the wolf."
