وَعَن عبد الله بن يزِيد عَنِ
النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: أَنَّهُ نهى عَن النهبة والمثلة
Abdallah ibn Yazid said that the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) forbade spoliation1 and mutilation2. Bukhari transmitted it. 1. Either taking some of the spoil in battle before the division of the booty has been made, or appropriating anything belonging to a Muslim. 2. The reference here may simply be to cutting off certain parts of animals, but it can apply to human beings as well.
