It was narrated by Abu Dawud (2705), and by al-Bayhaqi (9/61) from him, through the chain of Asim ibn Kulayb, from his father, from him. I say: Its chain of transmission is authentic.

There are also reports on this subject from a number of other Companions, including Zayd ibn Khalid, who heard the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, forbid plundering and stealthy snatching. It was narrated by Ahmad (4/117 and 5/193) through a client of a Juhayni woman, from Abd al-Rahman ibn Zayd ibn Khalid al-Juhani, from his father.

I say: This is a weak chain of transmission, for I do not know Abd al-Rahman ibn Zayd ibn Khalid. Perhaps he is the one mentioned among the kunyas in al-Tahdhib: “Abu Harb ibn Zayd ibn Khalid al-Juhani. He narrated from his father, and Bukayr ibn Abd Allah ibn al-Ashajj narrated from him.” Then I saw that al-Hafiz Ibn Hajar included him in al-Ta'jil for this hadith and said: “His status is unknown, as is the name of the narrator from him.”

Another of them is Jabir ibn Abd Allah, who said: “On the day of Khaybar, the people were afflicted by hunger. They took some domestic donkeys, slaughtered them, and filled the cooking pots with them. When this reached the Prophet of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, Jabir said: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, ordered us to overturn the pots while they were boiling. That day, the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, prohibited domestic donkeys, the meat of mules, every beast of prey with fangs, every bird with talons, animals tethered as targets, stealthy snatching, and plundering.”

It was narrated by Ahmad (3/323) through Ikrimah ibn Ammar, from Yahya ibn Abi Kathir, from Abu Salamah ibn Abd al-Rahman, from him.
