A bedouin asked the Prophet (ﷺ) about the Luqata. The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Make public announcement about it
for one year and if then somebody comes and describes the container of the Luqata and the string it
was tied with, (give it to him); otherwise, spend it." He then asked the Prophet (ﷺ) about a lost camel. The
face of the Prophet (ﷺ) become red and he said, "You have o concern with it as it has its water reservoir
and feet and it will reach water and drink and eat trees. Leave it till its owner finds it." He then asked
the Prophet (ﷺ) about a lost sheep. The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "It is for you, for your brother, or for the wolf."
