2303. Abu Hurairah said: "While we were with the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ on a journey, we saw some camels with their udders tied, among some thorny trees. We rushed towards it, but the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ called us and we came back to him. He said: 'These camels belong to a family of Muslims, and this is their support (and blessing) after Allâh. Would you be happy if you went back to your vessels and found that what was in them had been taken away? Do you think that is fair?' They said: 'No.' He said: 'This is like that.' We said: 'What do you think if we are in need of food and drink?' He said: 'Eat but do not carry any away; drink but do not carry any away.'" (Da'if)

٢٣٠٣ - حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ بِشْرِ بْنِ مَنْصُورٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عُمَرُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ، عَنْ حَجَّاجٍ، عَنْ سَلِيطِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الطُّهَوِيِّ، عَنْ ذُهَيْلِ بْنِ عَوْفِ بْنِ شَمَّاخٍ الطُّهَوِيِّ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ: بَيْنَمَا نَحْنُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي سَفَرٍ، إِذْ رَأَيْنَا إِبِلًا مَصْرُورَةً بِعِضَاهِ الشَّجَرِ، فَثُبْنَا إِلَيْهَا، فَنَادَانَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَرَجَعْنَا إِلَيْهِ، فَقَالَ: «إِنَّ هَذِهِ الْإِبِلَ لِأَهْلِ بَيْتٍ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ هُوَ قُوتُهُمْ، وَيُمْنُهُمْ بَعْدَ اللَّهِ، أَيَسُرُّكُمْ لَوْ رَجَعْتُمْ إِلَى مَزَاوِدِكُمْ فَوَجَدْتُمْ مَا فِيهَا قَدْ ذُهِبَ بِهِ أَتُرَوْنَ ذَلِكَ عَدْلًا؟» قَالُوا: لَا، قَالَ: «فَإِنَّ هَذَا كَذَلِكَ» ، قُلْنَا: أَفَرَأَيْتَ إِنِ احْتَجْنَا إِلَى الطَّعَامِ وَالشَّرَابِ؟ فَقَالَ: «كُلْ وَلَا تَحْمِلْ، وَاشْرَبْ وَلَا تَحْمِلْ»
