English narration

Narrated by زيد بن خالد الجهني

Narrated Zayd ibn Khalid al-Juhani: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ was asked about a find. He said: Make it known for a year. If its seeker comes, deliver it to him, otherwise note its container and its string. Then use it; if its seeker comes, deliver it to him.

النص العربي

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ رَافِعٍ ، وَهَارُونُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْمَعْنَى ، قَالَا : حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي فُدَيْكٍ ، عَنْ الضَّحَّاكِ يَعْنِي ابْنَ عُثْمَانَ ، عَنْ سَالِمٍ أَبِي النَّضْرِ ،عَنْ بُسْرِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ ، عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ الْجُهَنِيِّ ، أَنّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ سُئِلَ عَنِ اللُّقَطَةِ ، فَقَالَ : "

عَرِّفْهَا سَنَةً فَإِنْ جَاءَ بَاغِيهَا فَأَدِّهَا إِلَيْهِ ، وَإِلَّا فَاعْرِفْ عِفَاصَهَا وَوِكَاءَهَا ثُمَّ كُلْهَا فَإِنْ جَاءَ بَاغِيهَا فَأَدِّهَا إِلَيْهِ
