\nNarrated Zaid bin Khalid Al-Juhani:\n \n\nA man asked Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) about the Luqata. He said, "Make public announcement of it for one \nyear, then remember the description of its container and the string it is tied with, utilize the money, \nand if its owner comes back after that, give it to him." The people asked, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! What \nabout a lost sheep?" Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "Take it, for it is for you, for your brother, or for the wolf." \nThe man asked, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! What about a lost camel?" Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) got angry and his \ncheeks or face became red, and said, "You have no concern with it as it has its feet, and its watercontainer, \ntill its owner finds it."\n
