1288. Rāfi' bin 'Amr said: "I was throwing stones at a date-palm belonging to some of the Anṣār."[1] They took me along with them to the Prophet ﷺ. He said: 'O Rāfi'! Why were you throwing stones at their date-palm?' He said: "I said: 'Out of hunger, O Messenger of Allāh!' He said: 'Do not throw stones at them, eat what falls. May Allāh fill you and quench your thirst.'" (Da'if) This Hadīth is Ḥasan Gharīb Ṣaḥīḥ.
١٢٨٨ - حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَمَّارٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا الْفَضْلُ بْنُ مُوسَى ، عَنْ صَالِحِ بْنِ أَبِي جُبَيْرٍ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، عَنْ رَافِعِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو ، قَالَ: «كُنْتُ أَرْمِي نَخْلَ الْأَنْصَارِ»، فَأَخَذُونِي فَذَهَبُوا بِي إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَالَ: يَا رَافِعُ، لِمَ تَرْمِي نَخْلَهُمْ؟ قَالَ: قُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، الْجُوعُ! قَالَ: لَا تَرْمِ، وَكُلْ مَا وَقَعَ، أَشْبَعَكَ اللهُ وَأَرْوَاكَ. هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ غَرِيبٌ.

It appears from this narration that a hungry person should be allowed to eat the fallen fruit from the garden, and in case of severe hunger he should be allowed to pick from the trees as is clear from the next narration.
