حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ يَعْنِي ابْنَ حَازِمٍ ، عَنْ يَعْلَى بْنِ حَكِيمٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي لُبَيْدٍ ، قَالَ : كُنَّا مَعَ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ سَمُرَةَ بِكَابُلَ ، فَأَصَابَ النَّاسُ غَنِيمَةً فَانْتَهَبُوهَا فَقَامَ خَطِيبًا فَقَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَنْهَى عَنِ النُّهْبَى فَرَدُّوا مَا أَخَذُوا فَقَسَمَهُ بَيْنَهُمْ .
Narrated Abdur Rahman ibn Samurah ibn Kabul: AbuLabid said: We were with Abdur Rahman ibn Samurah ibn Kabul. The people got booty and plundered it. He stood and addressed (the people): I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ prohibiting getting property from the booty before its distribution. Therefore, they returned what they had taken, He then distributed it among them.
Explanation & Benefits
Shaykh Umar Farooq Saeedi
Benefits and Issues:
➊
Just as the flesh of a dead animal (carrion) is not lawful and permissible,
the same ruling applies to that wealth which is taken without due right.
➋
The Noble Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) did not permit consuming the rights of others even in conditions of extreme hardship and need.
➌
Imposing a financial penalty (ta'zir bil-mal) is permissible.
➍
It is obligatory upon the Imam (leader) to ensure justice and fairness among his subjects in all circumstances.
Through this, Allah’s mercy descends and dominance over the enemy is attained.
