Sunan Abi Dawud

Wages (Kitab Al-Ijarah)
" مَنْ وَجَدَ دَابَّةً قَدْ عَجَزَ عَنْهَا أَهْلُهَا أَنْ يَعْلِفُوهَا فَسَيَّبُوهَا فَأَخَذَهَا فَأَحْيَاهَا فَهِيَ لَهُ "
The Prophet (ﷺ) said: If anyone finds an animal whose owners were helpless to provide fodder to it and so they turned it out (of their house), and he took it and looked after it, it will belong to him. Abu Dawud said: This is the tradition of Hammad. It is more plain and perfect.
