Narrated Zaid bin Khalid Al-Juhani: A man asked the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi
Wasallam 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."
