Sunan Abi Dawud 2703 (Book 15, Hadith 227) #22993
Distributing Booty Fairly

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) prohibited people from taking property from the booty before it was distributed, and they returned what they had taken.

Abu Usaid reported the Apostle of Allaah as saying to us at the battle of Badr when he drew up in rows.
Narrated AbdurRahman ibn Samurah ibn Kabul: AbuLabid said: We were with AbdurRahman ibn Samurah ibn Kabul. The people got booty and plundered it. He stood and addressed (the people): I heard the Messenger of Allah prohibiting getting property from the booty before its distribution. Therefore, they returned what they had taken, He then distributed it among them.
حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ، - يَعْنِي ابْنَ حَازِمٍ - عَنْ يَعْلَى بْنِ حَكِيمٍ، عَنْ أَبِي لُبَيْدٍ، قَالَ كُنَّا مَعَ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ سَمُرَةَ بِكَابُلَ فَأَصَابَ النَّاسُ غَنِيمَةً فَانْتَهَبُوهَا فَقَامَ خَطِيبًا فَقَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ يَنْهَى عَنِ النُّهْبَى ‏.‏ فَرَدُّوا مَا أَخَذُوا فَقَسَمَهُ بَيْنَهُمْ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the importance of distributing booty fairly. It was narrated by AbdurRahman ibn Samurah ibn Kabul that when people got booty and plundered it, the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) prohibited them from taking property from it before its distribution. He then instructed them to return what they had taken, and he distributed it among them afterwards. This teaches us that we should not take advantage of others or be greedy when sharing resources or wealth; instead, we should be fair and just in our dealings with others so that everyone gets their due share without any prejudice or favoritism.
