Chapter on Virtues of Hajj

It has been narrated from Ibrahim ibn Umar, from Abu Abdullah عليه السلام, who said: "There are two types of lost property (luqata). As for the lost property of the Haram, you must announce it for one year. If you find its owner, return it; otherwise, give it in charity. As for lost property outside the Haram, announce it for one year. If its owner comes, return it; otherwise, it becomes like your own property." It has also been narrated: "Among the names of Mecca are: Mecca, Bakkah, Umm al-Qura, Umm al-Rahm, and Al-Bassah. When people commit oppression there, it destroys them (bassathum, meaning annihilates them), and when they are oppressed there, they are shown mercy."
