Sayyiduna Salamah bin Akwa’ (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: We set out towards Khaybar with the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him). One of those present said: O ‘Amir! If you would entertain us with your songs (it would be appropriate). So Sayyiduna ‘Amir (may Allah be pleased with him) got down from his mount to recite poetry for the people. He mentioned Allah Almighty and then recited a verse of poetry which I do not remember. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) asked: Who is the man leading the animal? The people replied: This is ‘Amir bin Akwa’. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: May Allah have mercy on him. One of those present said: O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him)! If you would allow us to enjoy this (it would be a favor).

When they attacked the enemies and fought with them, Sayyiduna ‘Amir (may Allah be pleased with him) was wounded. When evening came, they lit many fires. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) asked: Is there a reason for this fire, and what is being cooked? The people replied: Donkey meat is being cooked. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: Pour out what is in the pots and break them. One man said: O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him)! Should we not pour out what is in them and wash them instead? The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: Do so.

(Imam Ibn Hibban, may Allah have mercy on him, says:) The statement of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him):“Pour out what is in them”is a binding command. And the statement of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him):“Break them”is a command to show severity and strictness. It is not a binding command. Do you not see that when the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) commanded the pots to be broken, the man said: O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him)! Should we not pour out what is in them and wash them? The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: Do so.

Sayyiduna Bara bin Azib (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: Those people were with the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), they found some donkeys and slaughtered them, so the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: Turn over the pots.

Sayyiduna Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates this statement of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): "The flesh of every predatory animal with sharp canine teeth is forbidden."

Sayyiduna Abu Tha’labah al-Khushani (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) forbade (the eating of the flesh of) every predatory animal with sharp canine teeth.

Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates: The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade (the eating of) every predatory animal with sharp teeth and every bird with sharp talons.

(Imam Ibn Hibban, may Allah have mercy on him, says:) Neil is a settlement in Wasit.

Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "When a person comes to the herders of camels (i.e., to the grazing camels), he should call out loudly three times: 'O herders of camels!' If they respond to him, then it is fine; otherwise, he may milk the camels and drink. And when a person comes to a garden, he should call out loudly three times: 'O people of the garden!' If they respond to him, then it is fine; otherwise, he may eat (dates from the garden), but he must not take anything away with him." The narrator states: The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Hospitality is for three days; whatever is beyond that is charity."

(Imam Ibn Hibban, may Allah have mercy on him, says:) The reason for this ruling is hidden in this narration, and that is the person being in a state of necessity and in need of these things so that his life is not lost. If a person has the means and ability (then he cannot take these things without the permission of the owners)."

Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates: The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "No person should ever take another's animal without his permission. Would anyone like that someone comes to his storehouse, breaks open his treasure, and transfers his grain? The udders of people's animals and their food are equally worthy of respect, so no person should ever milk another's animal without his permission."

Sayyiduna Dhirar bin Azwar (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: My family sent me to the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) with a pregnant she-camel. The narrator states: I brought it along and presented myself before the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), and he instructed me to milk her. I milked her, then the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) said to me: Leave (a little milk) for the caller of the milk.

Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Hospitality is for three days; whatever is beyond that is charity."

Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: Sayyiduna Abu Talhah (may Allah be pleased with him) saw the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) in a state of hunger, so he came to Sayyidah Umm Sulaym (may Allah be pleased with her) and said: Do you have anything to eat? She replied: I have only one mudd of barley flour. Sayyiduna Abu Talhah said: Knead it and prepare it, we will invite the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) so that he may eat with us. Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: The woman kneaded the flour and baked the bread. Then Sayyiduna Abu Talhah (may Allah be pleased with him) came to the bread and said: Call the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) to my house.

The narrator says: I went to the service of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), and there were some people with him. Here, the narrator named Mubarak bin Fadalah has narrated these words: I think they were more than 80 people. I said: O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him)! Sayyiduna Abu Talhah (may Allah be pleased with him) has invited you. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said to his companions: Accept Abu Talhah’s invitation. (Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) says) I quickly went and informed Sayyiduna Abu Talhah (may Allah be pleased with him) about this: The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) and his companions are coming. Here, the narrator named Bakr has narrated these words: I quickly went, and the narrator named Thabit has narrated these words: Sayyiduna Abu Talhah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) knows better than me what is in my house. Then after this, both narrators have narrated from Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that Sayyiduna Abu Talhah (may Allah be pleased with him) welcomed the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him). He said: We have only a tray (amount) of food. I saw you hungry, so I told Umm Sulaym, and she prepared this food.

The narrator says: The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) had that tray brought, and he had a bowl brought and placed the bread in it. He asked: Do you have any ghee? Sayyiduna Abu Talhah said: There is a little in a small container. He brought it. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) and Sayyiduna Abu Talhah (may Allah be pleased with him) began to squeeze it until a little ghee came out. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) applied it with his index finger and spread it on the bread, and it swelled. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) recited Bismillah, and the bread swelled even more. After that, the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) continued to do this until the bread swelled and covered the entire tray. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: Call ten men from my companions. I called ten men. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) placed his blessed hand in the middle of the bread. He said: Begin eating in the name of Allah, seeking blessing. They began to eat the bread from the sides until they were full. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: Call ten more men to me. After that, Sayyiduna Abu Talhah (may Allah be pleased with him) kept calling ten at a time until all those people, more than 80, ate the bread from the sides until they were all full, and the middle part of the bread where the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) had placed his blessed hand remained as it was before.
