Lost Items and Stray Animals

SUMMARY: The Prophet ﷺ taught that one should make a public announcement for lost items and take stray animals, as they will eventually reach their owners.

Narrated Zaid bin Khalid Al-Juhni: "A man asked the Messenger of Allah about lost items. So he said: 'Make a public announcement about it for one year. Remember its string, its contained, and its sack. Then use it, and if its owner comes then give it to him'. So he said to him: 'O Messenger of Allah! What about the stray sheep?' He said:'Take it, for it is either for you, your brother, or the wolf'. He said: 'O Messenger of Allah! What about stray camel?'" He said: "Then the Prophet got angry until his cheeks became red or his face became red. He said: 'What concern is it of yours? It has its feet and its water reserve until it reaches its owner'."

QUICK LESSONS:
Make an announcement for one year if you find any lost item ; Take care of stray animals until they reach their owners .

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about how to handle lost items and stray animals. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ taught that if someone finds a lost item, they should make a public announcement about it for one year, remembering its string, its contained, and its sack. If the owner does not come forward after this time period then the finder can use it. For stray animals such as sheep or camels, the Prophet ﷺ said to take them because they will eventually reach their owners. He became angry when asked what to do with a camel specifically because it was obvious that it would find its way back home eventually due to having feet and water reserves along the way.
