Hadith 3806

حَدَّثَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ عُثْمَانَ ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو سَلَمَةَ سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ سُلَيْمٍ ، عَنْ صَالِحِ بْنِ يَحْيَى بْنِ الْمِقْدَامِ ، عَنْ جَدِّهِ الْمِقْدَامِ بْنِ مَعْدِ كَرِبَ ، عَنْ خَالِدِ بْنِ الْوَلِيدِ ، قَالَ : " غَزَوْتُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ خَيْبَرَ ، فَأَتَتْ الْيَهُودُ فَشَكَوْا أَنَّ النَّاسَ قَدْ أَسْرَعُوا إِلَى حَظَائِرِهِمْ ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : أَلَا لَا تَحِلُّ أَمْوَالُ الْمُعَاهَدِينَ إِلَّا بِحَقِّهَا ، وَحَرَامٌ عَلَيْكُمْ حُمُرُ الْأَهْلِيَّةِ ، وَخَيْلُهَا ، وَبِغَالُهَا ، وَكُلُّ ذِي نَابٍ مِنَ السِّبَاعِ ، وَكُلُّ ذِي مِخْلَبٍ مِنَ الطَّيْرِ " .
Narrated Khalid ibn al-Walid: I went with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ to fight at the battle of Khaybar, and the Jews came and complained that the people had hastened to take their protected property (as a booty), so the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: The property of those who have been given a mules, every fanged beast of prey, and every bird with a talon are forbidden for you.

Shaykh Umar Farooq Saeedi
Benefits and Issues:
Benefit: When it is not permissible to pick up the lost property of a disbeliever, then, all the more so, it is prohibited to pick up the property of a Muslim.
However, if it is something insignificant, such that its owner has no hope or desire for it, then that is a different matter.
Similarly, it may be picked up with the intention of making an announcement (to find the owner).

Benefits and Issues:
From this it is understood that just as other prohibited items are permanently forbidden, in the same way the (domesticated) donkey is also forbidden, as in hadith 3196 it has been declared "impure."

Takhrij:
«أخرجه أبوداود، الأطعمة، باب ما جاء في أكل السباع، حديث:3804.»©

Explanation:
Since a mu‘ahid (a non-Muslim under a treaty) comes into the Islamic state with formal permission and remains peaceful, therefore, the responsibility for his life and property lies with the Islamic government. For this reason, there is no distinction made between his lost property (luqatah) and that of a Muslim. However, if it is something considered trivial according to common custom, then it is permitted.

© Hadith Narrator:
«حضرت مقدام رضی اللہ عنہ » Miqdam — the “mim” in Miqdam has a kasrah underneath.

Miqdam ibn Ma‘dikarib ibn ‘Amr al-Kindi (the “kaf” in Karib has a fathah, and the “ra” has a kasrah underneath; due to the genitive construction, it is permissible for the “ba” to have a kasrah with tanwin, and due to being mabni, it is also permissible for it to have a fathah).

His kunyah was Abu Karima or Abu Yahya.

He was a well-known Companion (sahabi).

He settled in al-Sham (Greater Syria), so the narrators of the hadiths he transmitted are also from al-Sham.

According to the correct opinion, he passed away in 47 AH.

At that time, he was 91 years old.
