Be honest and return any lost items you find back to their rightful owners if possible; Make multiple attempts at finding them; Do your best in trying firstly return something back its rightful owner;

This hadith is about a man named Ubai bin Ka'b who found a purse containing 100 dinars. He went to the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ and asked what he should do with it. The Prophet ﷺ told him to make an announcement that someone had lost their money for one year, then two years in case they hadn't heard of the first announcement. If no one came forward after two years, he was allowed to keep the money as his own. This hadith teaches us that we must be honest and return any lost items we find back to their rightful owners if possible. We should also be patient when trying to locate them as they may not have heard of our announcements yet or may take some time before they can come forward due to other commitments or obligations in their lives. It also teaches us that if we are unable to locate the owner of something after making multiple attempts at finding them, then we can keep it for ourselves as long as we have done our best in trying firstly return it back its rightful owner.
