Hadith.4057 - Imam (as) was asked about a lost sheep in the wilderness. Imam (as) said to the questioner: "It is either yours, your brother's, or the wolf's." Then Imam (as) said: "I do not like to touch it." And when asked about a lost camel, Imam (as) said: "What do you have to do with it? Its belly is its container, its hooves are its shoes, and its stomach is its water carrier. Leave it alone."
4057 - وَ سُئِلَ عَنِ اَلشَّاةِ اَلضَّالَّةِ بِالْفَلاَةِ فَقَالَ لِلسَّائِلِ هِيَ لَكَ أَوْ لِأَخِيكَ أَوْ لِلذِّئْبِ قَالَ "وَ مَا أُحِبُّ أَنْ أَمَسَّهَا وَ عَنِ اَلْبَعِيرِ اَلضَّالِّ أَيْضاً" قَالَ
"مَا لَكَ وَ لَهُ بَطْنُهُ وِعَاؤُهُ وَ خُفُّهُ حِذَاؤُهُ وَ كَرِشُهُ سِقَاؤُهُ خَلِّ عَنْهُ".
