Sunan Abi Dawud 1708 (Book 10, Hadith 8) #22000
Returning Lost Items

SUMMARY: This hadith is about the importance of returning lost items to their rightful owners.

The above mentioned tradition has also been transmitted by Yahya bin Sa’id and Rabi’ah through the chain of narrators mentioned by Qutaibah to the same effect. This version adds; if its seeker comes, and recognizes its container and its number, then give it to him. Hammad also narrated it from 'Ubaid Allah bin 'Umar from 'Amr bin Shu’aib, from his father, from his grandfather, from the Prophet (SWAS) something similar. Abu Dawud said : This addition made by Hammad bin Salamah bin Kuhail, Yahya bin Sa’id, 'Ubaid Allah bin 'Umar and Rabi’ah; "if its owner comes and recognizes its container, and its string," is not guarded. The version narrated by Uqbah bin Suwaid on the authority of his father from the Prophet (SWAS) has also the words : "make it known for a year". The version of 'Umar bin al-Khattab has also been transmitted from the Prophet (SWAS). This version has : "Make it known for a year".
حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ، وَرَبِيعَةَ، بِإِسْنَادِ قُتَيْبَةَ وَمَعْنَاهُ وَزَادَ فِيهِ ‏"‏ فَإِنْ جَاءَ بَاغِيهَا فَعَرَفَ عِفَاصَهَا وَعَدَدَهَا فَادْفَعْهَا إِلَيْهِ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ وَقَالَ حَمَّادٌ أَيْضًا عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ شُعَيْبٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ جَدِّهِ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ مِثْلَهُ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ وَهَذِهِ الزِّيَادَةُ الَّتِي زَادَ حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ فِي حَدِيثِ سَلَمَةَ بْنِ كُهَيْلٍ وَيَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ وَعُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ وَرَبِيعَةَ ‏"‏ إِنْ جَاءَ صَاحِبُهَا فَعَرَفَ عِفَاصَهَا وَوِكَاءَهَا فَادْفَعْهَا إِلَيْهِ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ لَيْسَتْ بِمَحْفُوظَةٍ ‏"‏ فَعَرَفَ عِفَاصَهَا وَوِكَاءَهَا ‏"‏ ‏.‏ وَحَدِيثُ عُقْبَةَ بْنِ سُوَيْدٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ أَيْضًا قَالَ ‏"‏ عَرِّفْهَا سَنَةً ‏"‏ ‏.‏ وَحَدِيثُ عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ أَيْضًا عَنِ النَّبِيِّ قَالَ ‏"‏ عَرِّفْهَا سَنَةً

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith emphasizes the importance of returning lost items to their rightful owners. It is narrated by several people including Yahya Bin Said and Rabiah through a chain of narrators mentioned by Qutaibah. The version narrated by Hammad adds that if the owner comes and recognizes its container and string then it should be given back to them. Uqbah Bin Suwaid's version also adds that it should be made known for a year before being returned while the version narrated by Umar Bin Al-Khattab has only the words "make it known for a year". This hadith teaches us that we must return any lost item we find to its rightful owner as soon as possible or make sure it is made known for at least one year so that its owner can come forward and claim it.
