Sunan Abi Dawud
Sunan Abi Dawud 1705
حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ السَّرْحِ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ، أَخْبَرَنِي مَالِكٌ، بِإِسْنَادِهِ وَمَعْنَاهُ زَادَ " سِقَاؤُهَا تَرِدُ الْمَاءَ وَتَأْكُلُ الشَّجَرَ " . وَلَمْ يَقُلْ " خُذْهَا " . فِي ضَالَّةِ الشَّاءِ وَقَالَ فِي اللُّقَطَةِ " عَرِّفْهَا سَنَةً فَإِنْ جَاءَ صَاحِبُهَا وَإِلاَّ فَشَأْنَكَ بِهَا " . وَلَمْ يَذْكُرِ " اسْتَنْفِقْ " . قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ رَوَاهُ الثَّوْرِيُّ وَسُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ بِلاَلٍ وَحَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ عَنْ رَبِيعَةَ مِثْلَهُ لَمْ يَقُولُوا " خُذْهَا " .
Ibn al-Sarh narrated to us; Ibn Wahb narrated to us; Malik informed me, with his chain and meaning. He added: Its water-bag lets it reach water, and it eats from trees. He did not say Take it regarding a stray sheep. About found property he said: Announce it for a year; if its owner comes, return it, otherwise do with it as you wish. He did not mention making use of it. Abu Dawud said: Al-Thawri, Sulayman ibn Bilal, and Hammad ibn Salamah also narrated it from Rabiah in similar wording; they did not say Take it.
