al-Mu'jam al-Awsat 8693

Translation

✧ A man asked the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, saying, 'O Messenger of Allah, tell me about lost property.' He said, 'Recognize its container and its tying cord, and announce it for a year. If its seeker comes, return it to him; otherwise, spend it.' He said, 'Then tell me about a stray sheep.' He said, 'Take it, for it is yours, or your brother's, or the wolf's.' He said, 'Then tell me about a stray camel.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ became angry until his cheeks reddened, then said, 'What do you have to do with it? It has its own shoes and its own water-skin; it goes to water and eats from trees. Leave it until its owner comes to it.'

  يرويه ربيعة بن أبي عبد الرحمن واختلف عنه عن يزيد مولى المنبعث عن أبي هريرة عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم وخالفه الليث بن سعد فقال حدثني من أرضى عن إسماعيل بن أمية عن ربيعة وغيره عن مولى المنبعث عن رجل من أصحاب النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم عن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم والمحفوظ عن ربيعة عن يزيد مولى المنبعث عن زيد بن خالد الجهني عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم

  machine translationRabīʿah b. Abī ʿAbd al-Raḥmān narrates it, and there is disagreement concerning him about it, from Yazīd, the freed slave of al-Munbaʿith, from Abū Hurayrah, from the Prophet ﷺ. Al-Layth b. Saʿd contradicted him and said: "Someone with whom I am satisfied narrated to me, from Ismāʿīl b. Umayyah, from Rabīʿah and others, from the freed slave of al-Munbaʿith, from a man from among the Companions of the Prophet ﷺ, from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ." The preserved (maḥfūẓ) version is from Rabīʿah, from Yazīd, the freed slave of al-Munbaʿith, from Zayd b. Khālid al-Juhanī, from the Prophet ﷺ. Report a problem
