Do not take something without permission or consent from its rightful owner

This hadith speaks about the unlawfulness of plundering. It was narrated by a man from the Ansar, Kulayb, who reported that they went out with the Messenger of Allah on a journey and gained booty. While their pots were boiling, the Messenger of Allah came walking with his bow touching the ground and overturned their pots with his bow and smeared the meat with soil. He said that plunder is more unlawful than carrion or he said carrion is more unlawful than plunder. This hadith teaches us that it is forbidden to take something without permission or to steal from others as it goes against Islamic teachings and values such as honesty and justice. We should always strive to be honest in our dealings and not take what does not belong to us without permission or consent from its rightful owner.
