3938. It was narrated that Tha'labah bin Hakam said: "We came across some of the enemy's sheep and plundered them, and set up our cooking pots. The Prophet ﷺ passed by the pots and ordered that they be overturned, then he said: 'Plunder is not permissible.'" (Hasan)

Arabic text

3938 - حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْأَحْوَصِ، عَنْ سِمَاكٍ، عَنْ ثَعْلَبَةَ بْنِ الْحَكَمِ، قَالَ: أَصَبْنَا غَنَمًا لِلْعَدُوِّ فَانْتَهَبْنَاهَا، فَنَصَبْنَا قُدُورَنَا، فَمَرَّ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِالْقُدُورِ، فَأَمَرَ بِهَا فَأُكْفِئَتْ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: «إِنَّ النُّهْبَةَ لَا تَحِلُّ»
