Malik reported,

With its chain and meaning, with the addition, "It carries its own water supply and feeds on trees." He did not say, "Take it" in regard to the stray sheep. Concerning the lost property, he said, "Announce it for a year, and if its owner comes forward, give it to him, otherwise it is yours to deal with as you wish." He did not mention "spend it."

حدثنا ابن السرح حدثنا ابن وهب

أخبرني مالك

بإسناده ومعناه زاد سقاؤها ترد الماء وتأكل الشجر ولم يقل خذها في ضالة الشاء وقال في اللقطة عرفها سنة فإن جاء صاحبها وإلا فشأنك بها ولم يذكر استنفق
