( أَخْبَرَنَا ) أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ، وَأَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ الْقَاضِي، وَغَيْرُهُمَا، قَالُوا: ثَنَا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ، أَنْبَأَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْحَكَمِ، أَنْبَأَ ابْنُ وَهْبٍ، حَدَّثَنِي الضَّحَّاكُ بْنُ عُثْمَانَ، عَنْ أَبِي النَّضْرِ، عَنْ بُسْرِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ الْجُهَنِيِّ، قَالَ:
سُئِلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ عَنِ اللُّقَطَةِ ؟ فَقَالَ: عَرِّفْهَا سَنَةً، فَإِنْ لَمْ تُعْتَرَفْ، فَاعْرِفْ عِفَاصَهَا وَوِكَاءَهَا، ثُمَّ كُلْهَا، فَإِنْ جَاءَ صَاحِبُهَا فَارْدُدْهَا إِلَيْهِ

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ was asked about a lost item that is found (luqaṭah). He said: "Announce it for a year. If it is not claimed, then take note of its container and its binding, then eat it (use it). If its owner comes, return it to him."
