I found a purse containing one hundred Diners. So I went to the Prophet (and
informed him about it), he said, "Make public announcement about it for one
year" I did so, but nobody turned up to claim it, so I again went to the Prophet
(ﷺ) who said, "Make public announcement for another year." I did, but none
turned up to claim it. I went to him for the third time and he said, "Keep the
container and the string which is used for its tying and count the money it
contains and if its owner comes, give it to him; otherwise, utilize it." The
sub-narrator Salama said, "I met him (Suwaid, another sub-narrator) in Mecca and
he said, 'I don't know whether Ubai made the announcement for three years or
just one year.' "
A bedouin went to the Prophet (ﷺ) and asked him about picking up a lost thing.
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Make public announcement about it for one year. Remember
the description of its container and the string with which it is tied; and if
somebody comes and claims it and describes it correctly, (give it to him);
otherwise, utilize it." He said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! What about a lost
sheep?" The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "It is for you, for your brother (i.e. its owner),
or for the wolf." He further asked, "What about a lost camel?" On that the face
of the Prophet (ﷺ) became red (with anger) and said, "You have nothing to do
with it, as it has its feet, its water reserve and can reach places of water and
drink, and eat trees."

Yazid Maula Al-Munba'ith heard Zaid bin Khalid al-Juham saying, "The Prophet (ﷺ)
was asked about Luqata. He said, 'Remember the description of its container and
the string it is tied with, and announce it publicly for one year.' " Yazid
added, "If nobody claims then the person who has found it can spend it, and it
is regarded as a trust entrusted to him." Yahya said, "I do not know whether the
last sentences were said by the Prophet (ﷺ) or by Yazid." Zaid further said,
"The Prophet (ﷺ) was asked, 'What about a lost sheep?' The Prophet (ﷺ) said,
'Take it, for it is for you or for your brother (i.e. its owner) or for the
wolf." Yazid added that it should also be announced publicly. The man then asked
the Prophet (ﷺ) about a lost camel. The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Leave it, as it has
its feet, water container (reservoir), and it will reach a place of water and
eat trees till its owner finds it."

A man came and asked Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) about picking a lost thing. The
Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Remember the description of its container and the string it
is tied with, and make public announcement about it for one year. If the owner
shows up, give it to him; otherwise, do whatever you like with it." He then
asked, "What about a lost sheep?" The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "It is for you, for your
brother (i.e. its owner), or for the wolf." He further asked, "What about a lost
camel?" The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "It is none of your concern. It has its
water-container (reservoir) and its feet, and it will reach water and drink it
and eat the trees till its owner finds it."
Abu Hurairah (ra) said, "Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) mentioned an Israeli man." Abu
Hurairah then told the whole narration). (At the end of the narration it was
mentioned that the creditor) went out to the sea, hoping that a boat might have
brought his money. Suddenly he saw a piece of wood and he took it to his house
to use as firewood. When he sawed it, he found his money and a letter in it.

Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) also said, "It (i.e., Makkah's) thorny bushes should not
be uprooted and its game should not be chased, and picking up its fallen things
is illegal except by him who makes public announcement about it, and its grass

Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "An animal should not be milked without the
permission of its owner. Does any of you like that somebody comes to his store
and breaks his container and takes away his food? The udders of the animals are
the stores of their owners where their provision is kept, so nobody should milk
the animals of somebody else, without the permission of its owner."

While I as in the company of Salman bin Rabi'a and Suhan, in one of the holy
battles, I found a whip. One of them told me to drop it but I refused to do so
and said that I would give it to its owner if I found him, otherwise I would
utilize it. On our return we performed Hajj and on passing by Medina, I asked
Ubai bin Ka'b about it. He said, "I found a bag containing a hundred Dinars in
the lifetime of the Prophet (ﷺ) and took it to the Prophet (ﷺ) who said to me,
'Make public announcement about it for one year.' So, I announced it for one
year and went to the Prophet (ﷺ) who said, 'Announce it publicly for another
year.' So, I announced it for another year. I went to him again and he said,
"Announce for an other year." So I announced for still another year. I went to
the Prophet (ﷺ) for the fourth time, and he said, 'Remember the amount of money,
the description of its container and the string it is tied with, and if the
owner comes, give it to him; otherwise, utilize it.' "

public announcement about it for one year and if then somebody comes and
describes the container of the Luqata and the string it was tied with, (give it

lost sheep. The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "It is for you, for your brother, or for the
wolf."
While I was on my way, all of a sudden I saw a shepherd driving his sheep, I
asked him whose servant he was. He replied that he was the servant of a man from
Quraish, and then he mentioned his name and I recognized him. I asked, "Do your
sheep have some milk?" He replied in the affirmative. I said, "Are you going to
milk for me?" He replied in the affirmative. I ordered him and he tied the legs
of one of the sheep. Then I told him to clean the udder (teats) of dust and to
remove dust off his hands. He removed the dust off his hands by clapping his
hands. He then milked a little milk. I put the milk for Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) in
a pot and closed its mouth with a piece of cloth and poured water over it till
it became cold. I took it to the Prophet (ﷺ) and said, "Drink, O Allah's
Messenger (ﷺ)!" He drank it till I was pleased.
