"لَا يَحْلُبَنَّ أحدٌ مَاشِيةَ امْرِيءٍ بِغيرِ إِذْنِهِ، أَيُحبُّ أَحَدُكم أن تُؤتَى مَشْرَبتُه فَتُكْسَرَ خِزانَتهُ فَيُنْتَقَلَ طعَامُه؟ فإنما يَخْزُنُ لهم ضُروعُ مَوَاشِيهم أطْعَمِاتِهِم، فلا يَحَلُبنَّ أحدٌ ماشيةَ أحَدٍ إلا بإذنه".

Collected by Bukhārī, Muslim, Abū Dāwūd, Ibn Mājah, Mālik, Ibn Ḥibbān, Bayhaqī, SuyūṭīMessenger of Allah ﷺ said, "An animal should not be milked without the permission of its owner. Does any of you like that somebody comes to his store and breaks his container and takes away his food? The udders of the animals are the stores of their owners where their provision is kept, so nobody should milk the animals of somebody else, without the permission of its owner."
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ لاَ يَحْلُبَنَّ أَحَدٌ مَاشِيَةَ امْرِئٍ بِغَيْرِ إِذْنِهِ أَيُحِبُّ أَحَدُكُمْ أَنْ تُؤْتَى مَشْرُبَتُهُ فَتُكْسَرَ خِزَانَتُهُ فَيُنْتَقَلَ طَعَامُهُ فَإِنَّمَا تَخْزُنُ لَهُمْ ضُرُوعُ مَوَاشِيهِمْ أَطْعِمَاتِهِمْ فَلاَ يَحْلُبَنَّ أَحَدٌ مَاشِيَةَ أَحَدٍ إِلاَّ بِإِذْنِهِ
None (of you) should milk the animal of another, but with his permission. Does any one of you like that his chamber be raided, and his vaults be broken, and his foodstuff be removed? Verily the treasures for them (those who keep animals) are the udders of the animals which feed them. So none of you should milk the animal of another but with his permission.
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ لاَ يَحْلُبَنَّ أَحَدٌ مَاشِيَةَ أَحَدٍ إِلاَّ بِإِذْنِهِ أَيُحِبُّ أَحَدُكُمْ أَنْ تُؤْتَى مَشْرُبَتُهُ فَتُكْسَرَ خِزَانَتُهُ فَيُنْتَقَلَ طَعَامُهُ إِنَّمَا تَخْزُنُ لَهُمْ ضُرُوعُ مَوَاشِيهِمْ أَطْعِمَتَهُمْ فَلاَ يَحْلُبَنَّ أَحَدٌ مَاشِيَةَ أَحَدٍ إِلاَّ بِإِذْنِهِ
‘Abd Allah bin Umar reported the Apostle of Allaah ﷺ as saying “One should not milk the cattle of anyone without his permission. Does anyone of you like that any one approaches his corn cell and its storage is broken and then the corn scatters away? Likewise, the teats of their Cattle store their food. Therefore none of you should milk the cattle of anyone without his permission.”
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ لاَ يَحْلُبَنَّ أَحَدٌ مَاشِيَةَ أَحَدٍ بِغَيْرِ إِذْنِهِ أَيُحِبُّ أَحَدُكُمْ أَنْ تُؤْتَى مَشْرَبَتُهُ فَتُكْسَرَ خِزَانَتُهُ فَيُنْتَثَلَ طَعَامُهُ فَإِنَّمَا تَخْزُنُ لَهُمْ ضُرُوعُ مَوَاشِيهِمْ أَطْعِمَتَهُمْ فَلاَ يَحْلُبَنَّ أَحَدٌ مَاشِيَةَ أَحَدٍ إِلاَّ بِإِذْنِهِ
"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."
عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ 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
Malik related to me from Nafi from Ibn Umar that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "No one should milk someone else's cow without his permission. Would any of you like someone to come to his apartment, break into his larder, and take his food? The udders of cows guard their food for their owners, so no one should milk someone else's cow without his permission."
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ لاَ يَحْتَلِبَنَّ أَحَدٌ مَاشِيَةَ أَحَدٍ بِغَيْرِ إِذْنِهِ أَيُحِبُّ أَحَدُكُمْ أَنْ تُؤْتَى مَشْرُبَتُهُ فَتُكْسَرَ خِزَانَتُهُ فَيُنْتَقَلَ طَعَامُهُ وَإِنَّمَا تَخْزُنُ لَهُمْ ضُرُوعُ مَوَاشِيهِمْ أَطْعِمَاتِهِمْ فَلاَ يَحْتَلِبَنَّ أَحَدٌ مَاشِيَةَ أَحَدٍ إِلاَّ بِإِذْنِهِ
ذِكْرُ الزَّجْرِ عَنِ احْتِلَابِ الْمَرْءِ مَاشِيَةَ أَخِيهِ الْمُسْلِمِ بِغَيْرِ إِذْنِهِ
[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ prohibited the confiscation of people's livestock without the permission of their owners. He said, "Does anyone of you like that his own drinking vessel is broken and its contents are spilled? Indeed, the udders of their livestock are the food of one of them. So, I do not know anyone who milks the livestock of someone else without his permission."
«نَهَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَنْ تُحْتَلَبَ مَوَاشِي النَّاسِ إِلَّا بِإِذْنِ أَرْبَابِهَا» وَقَالَ «أَيُحِبُّ أَحَدُكُمْ أَنْ تُؤْتَى مَشْرُبَتُهُ فَيُكْسَرَ بَابُهَا فَيُنْتَثَلَ مَا فِيهَا مِنَ الطَّعَامِ إِنَّمَا ضُرُوعُ مَوَاشِيهِمْ هُوَ طَعَامُ أَحَدِهِمْ فَلَا أَعْرِفَنَّ أَحَدًا حَلَبَ مَاشِيَةَ أَحَدٍ بِغَيْرِ إِذْنِهِ»
ذِكْرُ الْخَبَرِ الدَّالِّ عَلَى أَنَّ الْأَمْرَ لَيْسَ بِإِبَاحَةٍ عَلَى الْعُمُومِ، بَلْ إِذَا كَانَ الْمَرْءُ مُضْطَرًّا يَخَافُ عَلَى نَفْسِهِ التَّلَفَ
