حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ، عَنْ رَبِيعَةَ بْنِ أَبِي عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي يَزِيدُ، مَوْلَى الْمُنْبَعِثِ، عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ الْجُهَنِيِّ، قَالَ: جَاءَ أَعْرَابِيٌّ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِلُقَطَةٍ، فَقَالَ: " عَرِّفْهَا سَنَةً، ثُمَّ اعْرِفْ عِفَاصَهَا وَوِكَاءَهَا، فَإِنْ جَاءَ أَحَدٌ يُخْبِرُكَ بِهَا، وَإِلَّا فَاسْتَنْفِقْهَا "قَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، فَضَالَّةُ (٣) الْغَنَمِ؟ قَالَ: " لَكَ أَوْ لِأَخِيكَ أَوْ لِلذِّئْبِ "قَالَ: يَا، ، رَسُولَ اللهِ، ضَالَّةُ (١) الْإِبِلِ؟ قَالَ: فَتَغَيَّرَ وَجْهُ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: " مَا لَكَ وَلَهَا؟ مَعَهَا حِذَاؤُهَا وَسِقَاؤُهَا، تَرِدُ الْمَاءَ، وَتَأْكُلُ الشَّجَرَ " (٢)،

English translation
It is narrated from Zaid bin Khalid (may Allah be pleased with him) that once he himself or another man asked the Prophet (ﷺ) about the ruling regarding a lost sheep. The Prophet (ﷺ) said: "You should take it, for either you will find it or the wolf will take it." The questioner asked: "O Messenger of Allah! What is the ruling if a lost camel is found?" The Prophet (ﷺ) became extremely angry, so much so that his blessed cheeks turned red, and he said: "What do you have to do with it? It has its water-bag and its shoes with it, and it can eat the leaves of the trees." Then the questioner asked: "O Messenger of Allah! If I find silver in a pouch, what do you command?" The Prophet (ﷺ) said: "Safeguard its container, its tie, and its count well, and announce it for a year. If its owner comes during that time, hand it over to him; otherwise, it becomes yours."
