Narrated Abdullah ibn Amr: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: If one of you loses something in the desert, he should invoke Allah with the words: 'O Allah, the Replacer of the lost, the Guide of the lost, guide me to my lost (item/asset) by returning it to me. Return it to me by Your Power and Your Authority.' For it is Allah's business to restore the lost.
