The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , said, "Whoever finds a lost item, should testify to its ownership, take care of its keys and locks, and not hide or conceal it. If the owner comes forward, then it should be returned to them. But if the owner does not come forward, then it will be considered as the property of Allah, who gives it to whomsoever He wills."

أَخْبَرَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ حُجْرٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا هُشَيْمٌ عَنْ خَالِدٍ وَهُو الْحَذَّاءُ عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ الشِّخِّيرِ عَنْ مُطَرِّفٍ عَنْ عِيَاضِ بْنِ حِمَارٍ الْأَشْجَعِيِّ

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ «مَنْ أَخَذَ لُقَطَةً فَلْيُشْهِدْ ذَوِي عَدْلٍ وَلْيَحْفَظْ عِفَاصَهَا وَوِكَاءَهَا وَلَا يَكْتُمْ وَلَا يُغَيِّبْ فَإِنْ جَاءَ صَاحِبُهَا فَهُوَ أَحَقُّ بِهَا وَإِنْ لَمْ يَجِئْ صَاحِبُهَا فَهُوَ مَالُ اللهِ يُؤْتِيهِ مَنْ يَشَاءُ»
