A man asked Allah’s Apostle about “Al-Luqata” (a lost fallen purse or a thing picked up by some –
body). The Prophet said, “You should announce it publicly for one year, and then remember and re –
cognize the tying material of its container, and then you can spend it. If its owner came to you, then
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.”

about a lost sheep?” Allah’s Apostle said, “Take it, for it is for you, for your brother, or for the wolf.”

him); otherwise, utilize it.” He said, “O Allah’s Apostle! What about a lost sheep?” The Prophet said, “It
is for you, for your brother (i.e. its owner), or for the wolf.” He further asked, “What about a lost
camel?” On that the face of the Prophet became red (with anger) and said, “You have nothing to do
with it, as it has its feet, its water reserve and can reach places of water and drink, and eat trees.”

says, ‘In this morning some of My worshipers remained as true believers and some became non-be –
lievers; he who said that it had rained with the blessing and mercy of Allah is the one who believes
in Me and does not believe in star, but he who said it had rained because of such and such (star) is a
disbeliever in Me and is a believer in star.’ “

slaves remained as true believers and some became non-believers; whoever said that the rain was
due to the Blessings and the Mercy of Allah had belief in Me and he disbelieves in the stars, and
whoever said that it rained because of a particular star had no belief in Me but believes in that star.’ “
