Bayhaqi 18010 — Prohibition of plundering food

وَأَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَلِيٍّ الرُّوذْبَارِيُّ، أنبأ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَكْرٍ، ثنا أَبُو دَاوُدَ، ثنا هَنَّادُ بْنُ السَّرِيِّ، ثنا أَبُو الْأَحْوَصِ، عَنْ عَاصِمِ بْنِ كُلَيْبٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ رَجُلٍ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ، قَالَ: خَرَجْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي سَفَرٍ فَأَصَابَ النَّاسَ حَاجَةٌ شَدِيدَةٌ وَجَهْدٌ، فَأَصَابُوا غَنَمًا فَانْتَهَبُوهَا، وَإِنَّ قُدُورَنَا لَتَغْلِي إِذْ جَاءَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَمْشِي عَلَى فَرَسِهِ فَأَكْفَأَ قُدُورَنَا بِقَوْسِهِ، ثُمَّ جَعَلَ يُرَمِّلُ اللَّحْمَ بِالتُّرَابِ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: " إِنَّ النُّهْبَةَ لَيْسَ بِأَحَلَّ مِنَ الْمَيْتَةِ، أَوْ إِنَّ الْمَيْتَةَ لَيْسَتْ بِأَحَلَّ مِنَ النُّهْبَةِ ". الشَّكُّ مِنْ هَنَّادٍ.
It is narrated from a man of the Ansar (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: We set out on a journey with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). Because of continuous hardship the people were in severe need of food. They got some sheep as spoils, and those people took some of them, and at that time the cooking pots were boiling. When the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) came, he (peace and blessings be upon him) was riding his horse, and he was overturning the pots with his bow and mixing dust into the meat. Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Plundered property is not more lawful than carrion," or he said: "Carrion is not more lawful than plundered property." That is, both are unlawful.
