English narration

Narrated by عياض بن حمار المجاشعي

Narrated Iyad ibn Himar: The Prophet ﷺ said: He who finds something should call one or two trusty persons as witnesses and not conceal it or cover it up; then if he finds its owner he should return it to him, otherwise it is Allah's property which He gives to whom He will.

النص العربي

حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ ، حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدٌ يَعْنِي الطَّحَّانَ . ح وحَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ ، حَدَّثَنَا وُهَيْبٌ الْمَعْنَى ، عَنْ خَالِدٍ الْحَذَّاءِ ، عَنْ أَبِي الْعَلَاءِ ، عَنْ مُطَرِّفٍ يَعْنِي ابْنَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ، عَنْ عِيَاضِ بْنِ حِمَارٍ ، قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : "

مَنْ وَجَدَ لُقَطَةً فَلْيُشْهِدْ ذَا عَدْلٍ أَوْ ذَوِي عَدْلٍ وَلَا يَكْتُمْ وَلَا يُغَيِّبْ فَإِنْ وَجَدَ صَاحِبَهَا فَلْيَرُدَّهَا عَلَيْهِ وَإِلَّا فَهُوَ مَالُ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ يُؤْتِيهِ مَنْ يَشَاءُ
