A believer does not steal from the war booty
When it was the day of Khaybar, a group of the Prophet’s Companions came forward and said: “So-and-so is a martyr, so-and-so is a martyr,” until they passed by a man and said: “So-and-so is a martyr.” The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: “No indeed. I saw him in the Fire, in a cloak that he had taken unlawfully ˹from the spoils˺, or a mantle.”
Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: “O son of al-Khattab, go and announce among the people: None will enter Paradise except the believers.” He said: So I went out and proclaimed: “Behold, none will enter Paradise except the believers.”
لَمَّا كَانَ يَوْمُ خَيْبَرَ، أَقْبَلَ نَفَرٌ مِنْ صَحَابَةِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ، فَقَالُوا: فُلَانٌ شَهِيدٌ، فُلَانٌ شَهِيدٌ، حَتَّى مَرُّوا عَلَى رَجُلٍ، فَقَالُوا: فُلَانٌ شَهِيدٌ. فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ: «كَلَّا، إِنِّي رَأَيْتُهُ فِي النَّارِ، فِي بُرْدَةٍ غَلَّهَا، أَوْ عَبَاءَةٍ».
ثُمَّ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ: «يَا ابْنَ الْخَطَّابِ، اذْهَبْ فَنَادِ فِي النَّاسِ: إِنَّهُ لَا يَدْخُلُ الْجَنَّةَ إِلَّا الْمُؤْمِنُونَ». قَالَ: فَخَرَجْتُ فَنَادَيْتُ: أَلَا إِنَّهُ لَا يَدْخُلُ الْجَنَّةَ إِلَّا الْمُؤْمِنُونَ.
