Narrator:Samurah ibn Jundub

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو سَلَمَةَ، يَحْيَى بْنُ خَلَفٍ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الأَعْلَى، عَنْ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ، عَنْ سَمُرَةَ بْنِ جُنْدَبٍ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ ‏

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

Narrated Samurah bin Jundab:

That the Prophet (ﷺ) said: "When one of you comes upon livestock, if its owner is with it then seek his permission. If he permits him then let him milk it and drink. If there is no one with it then call out three times, if someone answers then seek his permission. If no one answers then let him milk it and drink without carrying (any of it away)."

[He said:] There are narrations on this topic from Ibn 'Umar and Abu Sa'eed.

[Abu 'Eisa said:] The Hadith of Samurah is a Hasan Gharib Sahih Hadith. This is acted upon according to some of the people of knowledge, and it is the view of Ahmad and Ishaq.

[Abu 'Eisa said:] 'Ali bin Al-Madini said: "It is correct that Al-Hasan heard this from Samurah." Some of the people of Hadith criticized the narrations of Al-Hasan from Samurah, they said that he only narrated from a writing of Samurah.

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

Al-Mubarakfuri — Tuhfat al-Ahwadhi

قَوْلُهُ : ( إِذَا أَتَى أَحَدُكُمْ عَلَى مَاشِيَةٍ ) قَالَ الطِّيبِيُّ رَحِمَهُ اللَّهُ : أَتَى مُتَعَدٍّ بِنَفْسِهِ وَعَدَّاهُ بِعَلَى لِتَضَمُّنِهِ مَعْنَى نَزَلَ , وَجَعَلَ الْمَاشِيَةَ بِمَنْزِلَةِ الْمُضِيفِ. وَفِيهِ مَعْنَى حُسْنِ التَّعْلِيلِ وَهَذَا إِذَا كَانَ الضَّيْفُ النَّازِلُ مُضْطَرًّا اِنْتَهَى. ( فَلْيَسْتَأْذِنْهُ ) بِسُكُونِ اللَّامِ وَيَجُوزُ كَسْرُهَا ( فَلْيُصَوِّتْ ) بِتَشْدِيدِ الْوَاوِ أَيْ فَلْيَصِحْ وَلِيُنَادِ ( وَلَا يَحْمِلْ ) أَيْ مِنْهُ شَيْئًا. قَوْلُهُ : ( وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنْ اِبْنِ عُمَرَ ) أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ : " لَا يَحْلِبَنَّ أَحَدٌ مَاشِيَةَ اِمْرِئٍ بِغَيْرِ إِذْنِهِ , أَيُحِبُّ أَحَدُكُمْ أَنْ تُؤْتَى مُشْرَ…
