Malik related to me from Yahya ibn Said from Sulayman ibn Yasar
that Thabit ibn ad-Dahhak al-Ansari told him that he had found a camel
at Harra, so he hobbled it and mentioned it to Umar ibn al-Khattab and
Umar ordered him to make it known three times. Thabit said to him,
"That would distract me from the running of my estate." Umar said to
him, "Then let it go where you found it."

Malik related to me that he heard Ibn Shihab say, "The stray
camels in the time of Umar ibn al-Khattab were numerous and left
alone. No one touched them until the time of Uthman ibn Affan. He
ordered that they be publicised and then sold, and if the owner came
afterwards, he was given their price."
