أَخْبَرَنِي عَمْرُو بْنُ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ سَعِيدِ بْنِ کَثِيرِ بْنِ دِينَارٍ عَنْ الْوَلِيدِ عَنْ الْأَوْزَاعِيِّ عَنْ يَحْيَی عَنْ أَبِي قِلَابَةَ عَنْ أَنَسٍ أَنَّ نَفَرًا مِنْ عُکْلٍ قَدِمُوا عَلَی النَّبِيِّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَاجْتَوَوْا الْمَدِينَةَ فَأَمَرَهُمْ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنْ يَأْتُوا إِبِلَ الصَّدَقَةِ فَيَشْرَبُوا مِنْ أَبْوَالِهَا وَأَلْبَانِهَا فَفَعَلُوا فَقَتَلُوا رَاعِيَهَا وَاسْتَاقُوهَا فَبَعَثَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي طَلَبِهِمْ قَالَ فَأُتِيَ بِهِمْ فَقَطَّعَ أَيْدِيَهُمْ وَأَرْجُلَهُمْ وَسَمَّرَ أَعْيُنَهُمْ وَلَمْ يَحْسِمْهُمْ وَتَرَکَهُمْ حَتَّی مَاتُوا فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ إِنَّمَا جَزَائُ الَّذِينَ يُحَارِبُونَ اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ الْآيَةَ
سنن نسائی · Hadith 4040
It was narrated from Anas that some people from ‘Uki came to the Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم but the climate of Al-Madinah did not suit them. The Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم told them to go to the camels that had been given in Sadaqah and drink some of their milk and urine. They did that, then they killed their herdsman and drove off the camels. The Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم sent (men) after them, and they were brought to him. He had their hands and feet cut off, and their eyes gouged out, and he did not have (their wounds) cauterized, and he left them to die. Then Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, revealed: “The recompense of those who wage war against Allah and His Messenger.” (Sahih)
