Shahih Bukhari - 5647

Telah menceritakan kepada kami [Muhammad] telah menceritakan kepada kami [Isma'il bin Ja'far] telah mengabarkan kepada kami [Rabi'ah bin Abu Abdurrahman] dari [Yazid] bekas budak Al Munba'its, dari [Zaid bin Khalid Al Juhani] bahwa seseorang bertanya kepada Rasulullah shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam tentang barang temuan, beliau menjawab: "Umumkanlah selama setahun, lalu kenalilah wadah dan talinya, (sementara waktu) kamu boleh memanfa'atkannya, apabila pemiliknya datang, maka berikanlah barang tersebut kepadanya." Orang itu bertanya lagi; "Wahai Rasulullah, bagaimana dengan kambing yang hilang?". Beliau menjawab; "Ambillah, mungkin ia dapat menjadi milikmu atau milik saudaramu atau bahkan menjadi milik serigala." Dia bertanya lagi; "Wahai Rasulullah, bagaimana dengan temuan unta?" Zaid bin Khalid berkata; "Maka Rasulullah shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam marah hingga wajahnya memerah atau rona wajahnya menjadi merah, kemudian beliau bersabda: "Apa urusanmu dengan unta yang hilang?, biarkanlah ia, karena ia telah membawa sepatu dan wadah airnya sendiri hingga bertemu pemiliknya." (HR. Bukhari: 5647)

Narrated Zaid bin Khalid Al-Juhani: A man asked Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) about "Al-Luqata" (a lost fallen purse or a thing picked up by somebody). The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "You should announce it publicly for one year, and then remember and recognize the tying material of its container, and then you can spend it. If its owner came to you, then you should pay him its equivalent." The man said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! What about a lost sheep?" The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Take it because it is for you, for your brother, or for the wolf." The man again said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! What about a lost camel?" Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) became very angry and furious and his cheeks became red (or his face became red), and he said, "You have nothing to do with it (the camel) for it has its food and its water container with it till it meets its owner." (Bukhari: 5647)
