حَدَّثَنَا عَيَّاشُ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ الرَّقَّامُ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الأَعْلَى، حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدٌ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ، عَنْ سَمُرَةَ بْنِ جُنْدُبٍ، أَنَّ نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ ‏"‏

إِذَا أَتَى أَحَدُكُمْ عَلَى مَاشِيَةٍ فَإِنْ كَانَ فِيهَا صَاحِبُهَا فَلْيَسْتَأْذِنْهُ فَإِنْ أَذِنَ لَهُ فَلْيَحْلِبْ وَلْيَشْرَبْ فَإِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ فِيهَا فَلْيُصَوِّتْ ثَلاَثًا فَإِنْ أَجَابَهُ فَلْيَسْتَأْذِنْهُ وَإِلاَّ فَلْيَحْتَلِبْ وَلْيَشْرَبْ وَلاَ يَحْمِلْ ‏"

Narrated Samurah ibn Jundub:

The Prophet (ﷺ) said: When one of you comes to the cattle, he should seek permission of their master if he is there; if he permits, he should milk (the animals) and drink. If he is not there, he should call three times. If he responds, he should seek his permission; otherwise, he may milk (the animals) and drink, but should not carry (with him).

Reported by Abu Dawud (No. 2619) and At-Tirmidhi (No. 1296).

Al-Azimabadi — Awn al-Ma'bud

( عَلَى مَاشِيَة ) : فِي الْقَامُوس : الْمَاشِيَة الْإِبِل وَالْغَنَم ( فَإِنْ كَانَ فِيهَا ) : أَيْ فِي الْمَاشِيَة ( فَلْيُصَوِّتْ ) : أَيْ فَلْيُنَادِ ( وَلَا يَحْمِل ) : أَيْ لِيَذْهَب بِهِ. قَالَ الْخَطَّابِيُّ : هَذَا فِي الْمُضْطَرّ الَّذِي لَا يَجِد طَعَامًا وَهُوَ يَخَاف عَلَى نَفْسه التَّلَف , فَإِذَا كَانَ كَذَلِكَ جَازَ لَهُ أَنْ يَفْعَل هَذَا الصَّنِيع. وَذَهَبَ بَعْض أَصْحَاب الْحَدِيث إِلَى أَنَّ هَذَا شَيْء قَدْ مَلَّكَهُ النَّبِيّ صَلَّى اللَّه عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِيَّاهُ فَهُوَ مُبَاح لَهُ لَا يَلْزَم لَهُ قِيمَة. وَذَهَبَ أَكْثَر الْفُقَهَاء إِلَى أَنَّ قِيمَته لَازِمَة لَهُ يُؤَدِّيهَا إِلَيْهِ إِذَا قَدَرَ عَلَيْهَا لِأَنَّ النَّبِيّ صَلَّى اللَّه عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَال…
