1600. 'Abāyah bin Rifā'ah narrated from his father, from his grandfather Rāfi' bin Khadīj, who said: "We were with the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ on a journey, when the hasty people went rushing ahead to
the sheep to cook them, while the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ was in the rear of the people. Then he passed the kettles and ordered that they be weighed, then he distributed it between them and equated a camel to ten sheep.” (Sahih)
[Abū ‘Eisā said:] Sufyān Ath-Thawrī reported it from his father, from ‘Abāyah, from his grandfather Rāfi’ bin Khadīj, and he did not mention “from his father” in it.
This was narrated to us by Maḥmūd bin Ghailān (who said): “Wakī’ narrated it to us from Sufyān.” And this is more correct. ‘Abāyah bin Rifā’ah heard from his grandfather Rāfi’ bin Khadīj.
He said: There are narrations on this topic from Tha’labah bin Al-Ḥakam, Anas, Abū Rihānah, Abū Ad-Dardā’, ‘Abdur-Raḥmān bin Samurah, Zaid bin Khālid, Jābir, Abū Hurairah, and Abū Ayyūb.

Commentary
Most people of knowledge agree that when the warriors enter the land of the enemy, they are allowed to take food and fodder from there according to their needs, however it should be rationed as indicated in this narration. (Al-Mughni v. 13. p.176.)
