English translation

2703. It was reported from Abū Labīd who said: "We were with 'Abdur-Raḥmān bin Samurah in Kābul. The people acquired spoils and began plundering through it. He stood up and addressed the people: 'I heard the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ prohibit plundering.' So they returned whatever they had taken, and he distributed it among them." (Sahih)

Arabic text

2703 - حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ يَعْنِي ابْنَ حَازِمٍ، عَنْ يَعْلَى بْنِ حَكِيمٍ، عَنْ أَبِي لَبِيدٍ، قَالَ: كُنَّا مَعَ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ سَمُرَةَ بِكَابُلَ فَأَصَابَ النَّاسُ غَنِيمَةً فَانْتَهَبُوهَا فَقَامَ خَطِيبًا فَقَالَ: «سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَنْهَى عَنِ النُّهْبَى» فَرَدُّوا مَا أَخَذُوا فَقَسَمَهُ بَيْنَهُمْ
