حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ الْحَنَفِيُّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا الضَّحَّاكُ بْنُ عُثْمَانَ عَنْ أَبِي النَّضْرِ عَنْ بُسْرِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ خ
َالِدٍ الْجُهَنِيِّ قَالَ سُئِلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنْ اللُّقَطَةِ فَقَالَ عَرِّفْهَا سَنَةً فَإِنْ اعْتُرِفَتْ فَأَدِّهَا وَإِلَّا فَاعْرِفْ عِفَاصَهَا وَوِكَاءَهَا وَعَدَدَهَا وَإِلَّا فَكُلْهَا فَإِنْ اعْتُرِفَتْ فَأَدِّهَا

Abū Bakr al-Ḥanafī narrated to us, he said: al-Ḍaḥḥāk ibn ʿUthmān narrated to us, from Abū al-Naḍr, from Busr ibn Saʿīd, from Zayd ibn Khālid al-Juhanī who said: The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ was asked about a found item (luqaṭah). He said: "Announce it for a year. If it is claimed, give it. Otherwise, know its container, its tie, and its amount. If it is later claimed, give it; otherwise, use it."
