Sunan Abi Dawud 2783 (Book 15, Hadith 307) #23073
Beware of Unfair Distribution of Booty

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad warned against the unfair distribution of booty, which is when a thing is shared by people and then reduced.

Narrated AbuSa'id al-Khudri: The Messenger of Allah said: Beware of the wages of a distributor of booty (Qusamah). We asked: What is Qusamah (wages of a distributor)? He said: It means a thing which is shared by the people, and then it is reduced.
حَدَّثَنَا جَعْفَرُ بْنُ مُسَافِرٍ التِّنِّيسِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي فُدَيْكٍ، حَدَّثَنَا الزَّمْعِيُّ، عَنِ الزُّبَيْرِ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ سُرَاقَةَ، أَنَّ مُحَمَّدَ بْنَ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ ثَوْبَانَ، أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّ أَبَا سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيَّ أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ ‏"‏ إِيَّاكُمْ وَالْقُسَامَةَ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ فَقُلْنَا وَمَا الْقُسَامَةُ قَالَ ‏"‏ الشَّىْءُ يَكُونُ بَيْنَ النَّاسِ فَيَجِيءُ فَيَنْتَقِصُ مِنْهُ
