حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ حَدَّثَنَا أَيُّوبُ عَنْ نَافِعٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ عَنْ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ أَلَا لَا تُحْتَلَبَنَّ مَاشِيَةُ امْرِئٍ إِلَّا بِإِذْنِهِ أَيُحِبُّ أَحَدُكُمْ أَنْ تُؤْتَى مَشْرُبَتُهُ فَيُكْسَرَ بَابُهَا ثُمَّ يُنْتَثَلَ مَا فِيهَا فَإِنَّمَا فِي ضُرُوعِ مَوَاشِيهِمْ طَعَامُ أَحَدِهِمْ أَلَا فَلَا تُحْتَلَبَنَّ مَاشِيَةُ امْرِئٍ إِلَّا بِإِذْنِهِ أَوْ قَالَ بِأَمْرِهِ
مسند امام احمد بن حنبل · Hadith 4505
It was narrated from Ibn 'Umar that the Prophet (PBUH) said: "No one should milk the livestock of another person except with his permission. Would one of you like his storeroom to be raided and its door to be broken down and its contents to be taken? In the udders of their livestock is the food of one of them, so no one should milk the livestock of another person except with his permission or on his instructions."
