asked, “What about a lost sheep?” The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “It is for you, for your brother (i.e. its owner), or
for the wolf.” He further asked, “What about a lost camel?” The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “It is none of your

the trees till its owner finds it.”
Sahih al-Bukhari 2332 (Book 45, Hadith 4)
The above hadith is from the Sahih al-Buhari collection of hadiths. Within the Islamic scholarly tradition, few works hold as much weight as Sahih al-Bukhari. This vast compilation, assembled by the Persian scholar al-Bukhārī circa 847, is a cornerstone of Sunni faith and practice. It is one of the six canonical hadith collections known collectively as the Kutub al-Sittah. Imam al-Bukhārī’s work is particularly celebrated for its author’s stringent criteria in verifying the chain of narration (isnad), resulting in a trusted body of over 7,500 hadiths organized into 97 distinct chapters that cover every aspect of life.
