"عن سويد بن غفلة، عن عمر بن الخطاب قال في اللقطة: يعرفها سنةً، فإن جاء صاحبها وإلا تصدق بها، فإن جاء صاحبها بعد ما يتصدق بها خيرَه، فإن اختارَ الأجر؛ كان له الأجر، وإن اختار مالَه كان له ماله".

"On the authority of Suwayd ibn Ghaflah, from 'Umar ibn al-Khattab who said concerning the luqatah (found property): Announce it for a year. If its owner comes, (return it); otherwise give it in charity. If its owner comes after it has been given in charity, he is given a choice. If he chooses the reward, he has the reward, and if he chooses his property, he has his property."
