you should pay him its equivalent.” The man said, “O Allah’s Apostle! What about a lost sheep?” The
Prophet said, “Take it because it is for you, for your brother, or for the wolf.” The man again said, “O
Allah’s Apostle! What about a lost camel?” Allah’s Apostle became very angry and furious and his
cheeks became red (or his face became red), and he said, “You have nothing to do with it (the camel)
for it has its food and its water container with it till it meets its owner.”

homes, for the best prayer of a person is the one which he offers at home, except the compulsory
