Hazrat Abu Alia narrates from Hazrat Suwaid, who was the servant of Hazrat Salman and has been mentioned in good words, he says: When the Mujahideen conquered Mada'in and went out in search of the enemy, I found a basket. Hazrat Salman said to me: Do you have anything to eat? I replied that I have found a basket. He said: Bring it. If it contains wealth, we will return it, and if it contains food, we will eat it.

Hazrat Abdullah bin Buraidah (may Allah be pleased with him) was asked about the ruling on food and other items found in enemy territory. He replied: If it has been sold in exchange for dirhams, it should be returned; otherwise, it will be considered as misappropriation.

Hazrat Abdullah bin Muhairiz (may Allah be pleased with him) and Hazrat Khalid (may Allah be pleased with him) and others said regarding the person who found food and fodder in the land of Rome: He should eat the food and use the fodder, and if he sells any of it for gold or silver, then he should include it in the spoils of the Muslims.

Hazrat Aamir (may Allah have mercy on him) says that there is no harm in eating the food and feeding the fodder found in the enemy's land to the animals, and whatever is sold from it will be common among the Muslims.

Hazrat Dahhak (may Allah have mercy on him) says that when a military expedition sets out for jihad, and they obtain a cow, goat, etc. as spoils, they may eat from it as much as needed but should not waste it, and if those animals are sent to the army, then they will be shared among everyone.

Hazrat Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates that during jihad, if we found fruits and honey, we would eat them and would not take them to the place of distribution of spoils.
