Sahih Muslim 1979a (Book 36, Hadith 1) #12231
The Prophet's Anger at Hamza's Actions

SUMMARY: Allah's Messenger (PBUH) was angered when he saw Hamza b. 'Abd al-Muttalib attacking and slaughtering two camels that belonged to Ali b. Abu Talib, who had intended to use them to sell Idhkhir grass in order to give a wedding feast for his daughter Fatima.

'Ali b. Abu Talib reported; There fell to my lot along with Allah's Messenger ﷺ an old she-camel from the spoils of Badr. Allah's Messenger ﷺ granted me another camel. I made them kneel down one day at the door of an Ansari, and I wanted to carry on them Idhkhir (a kind of grass) in order to sell that. There was with me a goldsmith of the tribe of Qaynuqa. I sought to give a wedding feast (on the occasion of marriage with) Fatima with the help of that (the price accrued from the sale of this grass). And Hamza b. 'Abd al-Muttalib was busy in drinking in that house in the company of a singing girl who was singing to him. She said: Hamza, get up for slaughtering the fat she-camels. Hamza attacked them with the sword and cut off their humps and ripped their haunches, and then took out their livers. I said to Ibn Shihab: Did he take out anything from the hump? He said: He cut off the humps altogether. Ibn Shihab reported 'Ali having said: I saw this (horrible) sight and it shocked me, and I came to Allah's Apostle ﷺ and there was Zaid b, Haritha with him and communicated to him this news. He came in the company of Zaid and I also went along with him and he went to Hamza and he expressed anger with him. Hamza raised his eyes and said: Are you (not) but the servants of my father? Allah's Messenger ﷺ turned back on his heels (on hearing this) until he went away from them.

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks of the incident when the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ was angered by the actions of his uncle Hamza b. 'Abd al-Muttalib. Ali b. Abu Talib had two camels which he wanted to use for selling Idhkhir grass in order to give a wedding feast for his daughter Fatima but instead Hamza attacked them with a sword and slaughtered them both without permission from Ali or the Prophet ﷺ himself. When the Prophet ﷺ heard about this incident he became very angry and expressed it towards Hamza until he left him alone out of respect for being his uncle and father’s servant. This hadith teaches us that we should always seek permission before taking any action even if it is from our own family members as we must always respect each other’s property rights no matter what relation we have with one another as well as respecting those who are older than us such as our elders or those who are more knowledgeable than us such as religious scholars or teachers etc..
