Narrated Zaid bin Khalid Al-Juhani:
A man asked the Prophet about the picking up of a “Luqata” (fallen lost thing). The Prophet replied,
“Recognize and remember its tying material and its container, and make public announcement
(about it) for one year, then utilize it but give it to its owner if he comes.” Then the person asked
about the lost camel. On that, the Prophet got angry and his cheeks or his Face became red and he
said, “You have no concern with it as it has its water container, and its feet and it will reach water,
and eat (the leaves) of trees till its owner finds it.” The man then asked about the lost sheep. The
Prophet replied, “It is either for you, for your brother (another person) or for the wolf.”

Narrated Abu Musa:
The Prophet was asked about things which he did not like, but when the questioners insisted, the
Prophet got angry. He then said to the people, “Ask me anything you like.” A man asked, “Who is my
father?” The Prophet replied, “Your father is Hudhafa.” Then another man got up and said, “Who is
my father, O Allah’s Apostle ?” He replied, “Your father is Salim, Maula (the freed slave) of Shaiba.” So
when ‘Umar saw that (the anger) on the face of the Prophet he said, “O Allah’s Apostle! We repent to
Allah (Our offending you).”
