حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ، ح وَحَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ الْعَلاَءِ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ إِدْرِيسَ، عَنِ ابْنِ إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ شُعَيْبٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ جَدِّهِ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم بِهَذَا ‏.‏ قَالَ فِي ضَالَّةِ الشَّاءِ ‏"‏ فَاجْمَعْهَا حَتَّى يَأْتِيَهَا بَاغِيهَا ‏"‏ ‏.‏

Translation

Musa ibn Ismail narrated to us; Hammad narrated to us. Ibn al-Ala also narrated to us; Ibn Idris narrated to us, from Ibn Ishaq, from Amr ibn Shuaib, from his father, from his grandfather, from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), with this report. Regarding a stray sheep, he said: Gather it until someone comes seeking it.
