Sunan Ibn Majah 2302 (Book 12, Hadith 166) #31654
Respect for Property Rights

SUMMARY: It is not permissible to take something from someone else without their permission.

It was narrated from 'Abdullah bin 'Umar that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ stood up and said: "No one of you should milk from the livestock of another man without his permission. Would anyone of you like someone to break into his storeroom and take his food? The udders of their livestock store food for them, so none of you should milk the livestock of another man without his permission".
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ رُمْحٍ، قَالَ أَنْبَأَنَا اللَّيْثُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ، عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ـ ﷺ ـ أَنَّهُ قَامَ فَقَالَ ‏ "‏ لاَ يَحْتَلِبَنَّ أَحَدُكُمْ مَاشِيَةَ رَجُلٍ بِغَيْرِ إِذْنِهِ أَيُحِبُّ أَحَدُكُمْ أَنْ تُؤْتَى مَشْرُبَتُهُ فَيُكْسَرَ بَابُ خِزَانَتِهِ فَيُنْتَثَلَ طَعَامُهُ فَإِنَّمَا تَخْزُنُ لَهُمْ ضُرُوعُ مَوَاشِيهِمْ أَطْعِمَاتِهِمْ فَلاَ يَحْتَلِبَنَّ أَحَدُكُمْ مَاشِيَةَ امْرِئٍ بِغَيْرِ إِذْنِهِ

QUICK LESSONS:
Seek permission before taking something that does not belong to you.
EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith teaches us the importance of respecting other people's property and not taking anything from them without their permission. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ used a metaphor to explain this concept by asking if anyone would like it if someone broke into their storeroom and took their food. He then went on to explain that the udders of livestock store food for them and so it is wrong to take milk from another person's livestock without asking first. This hadith emphasizes the importance of respecting other people's property rights and seeking permission before taking something that does not belong to you.
