أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ نَافِعٍ أَبُو بَکْرٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا بَهْزٌ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا قَتَادَةُ وَثَابِتٌ عَنْ أَنَسٍ أَنَّ نَفَرًا مِنْ عُرَيْنَةَ نَزَلُوا فِي الْحَرَّةِ فَأَتَوْا النَّبِيَّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَاجْتَوَوْا الْمَدِينَةَ فَأَمَرَهُمْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنْ يَکُونُوا فِي إِبِلِ الصَّدَقَةِ وَأَنْ يَشْرَبُوا مِنْ أَلْبَانِهَا وَأَبْوَالِهَا فَقَتَلُوا الرَّاعِيَ وَارْتَدُّوا عَنْ الْإِسْلَامِ وَاسْتَاقُوا الْإِبِلَ فَبَعَثَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي آثَارِهِمْ فَجِيئَ بِهِمْ فَقَطَّعَ أَيْدِيَهُمْ وَأَرْجُلَهُمْ وَسَمَّرَ أَعْيُنَهُمْ وَأَلْقَاهُمْ فِي الْحَرَّةِ قَالَ أَنَسٌ فَلَقَدْ رَأَيْتُ أَحَدَهُمْ يَکْدُمُ الْأَرْضَ بِفِيهِ عَطَشًا حَتَّی مَاتُوا
سنن نسائی · Hadith 4049
It was narrated from Anas that some people from ‘Uranc,h camped in Al-Uarrah and came to the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم. The climate of Al-Madinah did not suit them, so the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم ‘ told them to go and stay near the camels that had been given in Sadaqah, and to drink their milk and urine. Then they killed the herdsman and apostatized from Islam, and drove off the camels. The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم sent — (men) after them, who brought them, then he had their hands and feet cut off, and their eyes gouged out, and left them in Al-Harrah. Anas said: “I saw one of them biting at the ground from thirst, until they died.” (Sahih)
