A man came to Allah's Apostle ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌ ) and asked him about picking up of stray articles. He said: Recognize (well) its bag and the strap (by which it is tied) then make announcement of that for a year. If its owner comes (within this time return that to him), otherwise it is yours. He (again) said: (What about) the lost goat? Thereupon he (the Holy Prophet) said: It is yours or for your brother, or for the wolf. He said: (What about) the lost camel? Thereupon he said: You have nothing to do with it; it has a leather bag along with it, and its shoes also. It comes to the watering-place, eats (the leaves of the) trees until its master finds him.

A person asked Allah's Apostle ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌) about picking up of stray articles, whereupon he said: Make announcement about it for a year, and recognize well the strap and the bag (containing that) ; then spend that; and if its owner comes, make him the payment of that. He (the inquirer) said: Messenger of Allah, what about the lost goat? he said: Take it, for that is yours or for your brother, or for the wolf. He (again) said: (What about) the lost camel? The Messenger of Allah ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌) was enraged until his cheeks became red (or his face became red) and then said: You have nothing to do about that; it has feet and a leather bag (to quench its thirst) until its owner finds it.

There came a person to Allah's Messenger ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌) while I was with him, and he asked him about picking up of a stray article, and he said: When none comes to demand it, then spend that.

There came to Allah's Messenger ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌ ) a person, the rest of the hadith is the same but with the variation (of these words): His face became red, his forehead too, and he felt annoyed; and made an addition after the words: He should make announcement of that for a year, and if its owner does not turn up, then it is a trust with you.

Allah's Messenger ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌ ) was asked about the picking up of stray gold or silver, whereupon he said: Recognize well the strap and the bag (containing) that and then make an announcement regarding that for one year, but if none recognizes it, then spend that and it would be a trust with you; and if someone comes one day to make demand of that, then pay that to him. He (the inquirer) asked about the lost camel, whereupon he said: You have nothing to do with that. Leave that alone, for it has feet and also a leather bag, it drinks water, and eats (the leaves) of the trees. He asked him about sheep, whereupon he said: Take it, it is for you, or for your brother, or for the wolf.

A person asked Allah's Apostle ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌ ) about a lost camel; Rabi'a made this addition: He (the Holy Prophet) was so much annoyed that his cheeks became red. The rest of the hadith is the same. He (the narrator) made this addition: If its (that of the article) owner comes and he recognizes the bag (which contained it) and its number, and the strap. then give that to them, but if not, then it is for you.

Allah's Messenger ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌) was asked about picking up of stray things, whereupon he said: Make announcement of that for one year, but if it is not recognized (by the owner), then recognize its big and strap, then eat it; and if its owner comes, then give that to him. This hadith has been narrated on the authority of Al-Dahhak bin Uthman with the same chain of transmitters but with a slight variation of words.

If it is recognized, then pay it back, otherwise memorize the features of its strap, bag, container and amount.

I went out, and also Zaid bin Suhan and Salman bin Rabi'a for Jihad, and I found a whip and took it up. They said to me: Leave it. I said: No. but I will make announcement of it and if its owner comes (then I will return that), otherwise I will use it, and I refused them. When we returned from Jihad. by a good fortune for me, I performed Pilgrimage. I came to Medina and met Ubayy bin Ka'b رضی اللہ عنہ, and related to him the affair of the whip and their opinion (the opinion of Zaid bin Suhan and Salman b. Rabi'a) about it (i.e. I should throw it). Thereupon he said: I found a money bag during the lifetime of Allah's Messenger ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌ ) which contained one hundred dinars. I came to him along with it, and he said: Make an announcement of it for one year; so I announced it, but did not find anyone who could (claim it after) recognizing it. I again came to him and he said: Make announcement for one year. So I made announcement of it, but I found none who could recognize it. I came to him he said: Make announcement of it for one year. I made announcement of that but did not find one who could recognize it, whereupon he said: Preserve (in your mind) its number, its bag and its strap, and if its owner comes (then return that to him), otherwise make use of it. So I made use of that. I (Shu'ba) met him (Salama bin Kuhail) after this in Mecca, and he said: I do not know whether he said three years or one year.

Salama bin Kuhail informed me or he informed people and I was among them. He said: I heard Sawaid bin Ghafala who reported: I went out along with Zaid bin Suhan and Salman bin Rabi'a, and found a whip, the rest of the hadith is the same up to the words: I made use of that. Shu'ba said: I heard him say after ten years, that he made an announcement of it for one year.

It is two years or three years. In the hadith transmitted on the authority of Sufyan and Zaid bin Abu Unaisa and Hammid bin Salama (the words are): If someone comes and informs you about the number (of articles) of the bag and the straps, then give that to him. Sufyan has made this addition in the narration of Waki': Otherwise it is like your property. And in the narration of Ibn Numair the words are: Otherwise make use of that.

Allah's Messenger ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌) forbade taking into custody the stray thing of the pilgrims.

Allah's Messenger ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌) as sayin.: He who found a stray article is himself led astray if he does not advertise it.

Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) having said this: None (of you) should milk the animal of another, but with his permission. Does any one of you like that his chamber be raided, and his vaults be broken, and his foodstuff be removed? Verily the treasures for them (those who keep animals) are the udders of the animals which feed them. So none of you should milk the animal of another but with his permission.

A hadith like that of Malik (no. 4511) was narrated from Nafi from Ibn Umar, from the prophet ﷺ, except that in their Hadith it says: "...to be thrown on the floor," except for Al-Laith bin Sa'd, in whose Hadith it says: "...or his food to be taken," as in the report of Malik.

My ears heard and my eyes saw, when the Messenger of Allah ﷺ spoke and said: "Whosever believes in Allah and the last day, Let him honor his guest with full Hospitality." They said: What is full Hospitality, O Messenger of Allah? He said: "One day and one night, and Hospitality is for three days, and anything beyond that is charity towards him." And he ﷺ said: "Whoever believes in Allah and the last day, let him speak well or else remain silent."

Allah's Messenger ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌) as saying: (The period of the entertainment of a guest is three days, and utmost kindness and courtesy is for a day and a night. It is not permissible for a Muslim to stay with, his brother until he makes him sinful. They said: Messenger of Allah, how he would make him sinful? He (the Holy Prophet ﷺ) said: He stays with him (so long) that nothing is left with him to entertain him.

I heard Abu Shuraih al-Khuzill رضی اللہ عنہ saying: My ears heard and my eyes saw and my mind retained it, when Allah's Messenger ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌ ) spok this, and he then narrated the hadith and made mention of this: It is not permissible for any one of you to stay with his brother until he makes him sinful.
