Muwatta' Malik 36-66
Stimulation of Desire to Judge Correctly
قالَ يَحْيى: سَمِعْتُ مالِكًا يَقُولُ: «الأمْرُ عِنْدَنا فِي العَبْدِ يَجِدُ اللُّقَطَةَ فَيَسْتَهْلِكُها، قَبْلَ أنْ تَبْلُغَ الأجَلَ الَّذِي أُجِّلَ فِي اللُّقَطَةِ وذَلِكَ سَنَةٌ، أنَّها فِي رَقَبَتِهِ، إمّا أنْ يُعْطِيَ سَيِّدُهُ ثَمَنَ ما اسْتَهْلَكَ غُلامُهُ، وإمّا أنْ يُسَلِّمَ إلَيْهِمْ غُلامَهُ، وإنْ أمْسَكَها حَتّى يَأْتِيَ الأجَلُ الَّذِي أُجِّلَ فِي اللُّقَطَةِ ثُمَّ اسْتَهْلَكَها، كانَتْ دَيْنًا عَلَيْهِ. يُتْبَعُ بِهِ، ولَمْ تَكُنْ فِي رَقَبَتِهِ، ولَمْ يَكُنْ عَلى سَيِّدِهِ فِيها شَيْءٌ»
Translation
Yahya said that he heard Malik say, "What is done in our community about a slave who finds something and uses it before the term which is set for finds has been reached, and that is a year, is that it is against his person. Either his master gives the price of what his slave has used, or he surrenders his slave to them as compensation. If he withheld it until the term was reached which is set for finds and he used it, it is a debt against him which follows him and it is not against his person and there is nothing against his master in it."
