Chapter the forty-second.—To state the law about the finding of 
runaway slaves.—Suppose the owner says, “If any one finds my 
slave who has runaway I will give so much as his reward” he must 
give the sum promised to the person by whom the slave is 
found. Ifhe says “If Si Zeid finds him I will give him 8 tampang, 
if Si Omar finds him I will give him 6 tampang and if Si Ahamad 
finds him I will give him 9 tampang,” he must give as much as he 
promises to that one of the three who may find the slave. If they 
all three find him together, the sum of the amounts promised must 
be divided by three and one third must be paid by the owner. If 
the slave is found by a person who has no promise of a reward, the 
owner must be ordered to reward him according to the custom of 
the country.
