A man came to Allah's Apostle and asked about Al-Luqata (a fallen thing). The Prophet said, ''Recognize its container and its tying material and then make a public announcement about it for one year and if its owner shows up, give it to him; otherwise use it as you like.'' The man said, ''What about a lost sheep?'' The Prophet said, ''It is for you, your brother or the wolf.'' The man said ''What about a lost camel?'' The Prophet said, ''Why should you take it as it has got its water-container (its stomach) and its hooves and it can reach the places of water and can eat the trees till its owner finds it?''
