"عن الزهرى، عن ابن المسيب قال: كتب عمر إلى عماله: لا تضمنوا الضَّوَالَّ، قال: فلقد كانت الإبل تناتج هملا وترد المياه، ما يعرض لها أحدٌ حتى يأتى من يعرفها فيأخذها، حتى إذا كان عثمان كتب: أن ضُمُوها وعرفوها، فإن جاء من يعترفها وإلا فبيعوها وضعوا أثمانها في بيت المال، فإن جاء من يعترفها فادفعوا إليهم الأثمان".

"On the authority of al-Zuhri, from Ibn al-Musayyib, who said: 'Umar wrote to his governors: Do not make the lost property (dawall) liable. He said: Camels would bear young unattended and come to the water, and no one would approach them until someone who knew them came and took them. Then when 'Uthman came, he wrote: Take them in and announce them. If someone comes who recognizes them, (return them); otherwise sell them and place their price in the public treasury. If someone comes who recognizes them, give them the price."
