Sunan Abi Dawud 3838 (Book 28, Hadith 103) #24128
Using Polytheists' Vessels and Skins

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) did not object to the use of vessels and skins of polytheists during an expedition.

Narrated Jabir ibn Abdullah: I was on an expedition along with the Messenger of Allah . We got the vessels and skins of the polytheists and used them. But he did not object to them (ie us) for that (action).
حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الأَعْلَى، وَإِسْمَاعِيلُ، عَنْ بُرْدِ بْنِ سِنَانٍ، عَنْ عَطَاءٍ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ، قَالَ كُنَّا نَغْزُو مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ فَنُصِيبُ مِنْ آنِيَةِ الْمُشْرِكِينَ وَأَسْقِيَتِهِمْ فَنَسْتَمْتِعُ بِهَا فَلاَ يَعِيبُ ذَلِكَ عَلَيْهِمْ

However, the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) did not object to their decision. This teaches us that it is permissible for Muslims to make use of items owned by non-Muslims as long as it does not involve any form of disrespect or dishonor towards them or their beliefs. It also shows us that we should be respectful towards people who have different beliefs than ours, even if we do not agree with them.
