قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ " مَنْ أَصَابَ مِنْ شَىْءٍ فَلْيَلْزَمْهُ " .
أصاب من شيء means to obtain/acquire something; فليلزمه means to adhere to or keep to it. The report gives no explicit object or context in this wording.
Does ‘Whoever obtains something should hold on to it’ preserve the terse statement without adding a specific kind of provision?
