The Book of Lost Property

Sahih Muslim #4371

كتاب اللقطة

وَحَدَّثَنِي أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ حَكِيمٍ الأَوْدِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدُ بْنُ مَخْلَدٍ، حَدَّثَنِي سُلَيْمَانُ، - وَهُوَ ابْنُ بِلاَلٍ - عَنْ رَبِيعَةَ بْنِ أَبِي عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ، مَوْلَى الْمُنْبَعِثِ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ زَيْدَ بْنَ خَالِدٍ الْجُهَنِيَّ، يَقُولُ أَتَى رَجُلٌ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم‏.‏ فَذَكَرَ نَحْوَ حَدِيثِ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ‏.‏ غَيْرَ أَنَّهُ قَالَ فَاحْمَارَّ وَجْهُهُ وَجَبِينُهُ وَغَضِبَ‏.‏ وَزَادَ بَعْدَ قَوْلِهِ «ثُمَّ عَرِّفْهَا سَنَةً».‏ «فَإِنْ لَمْ يَجِئْ صَاحِبُهَا كَانَتْ وَدِيعَةً عِنْدَكَ».‏

Zaid b. Khalid al-Juhani reported. There came to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) a person, the rest of the hadith is the same but with the variation (of these words):

His face became red, his forehead too, and he felt annoyed; and made an addition after the words: He should make announcement of that for a year, and if its owner does not turn up, then it is a trust with you.
