سنن نسائی · Hadith 4051
It was narrated that Saeed bin Al-Musayyab said: “Some ‘Arab people came to the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم and accepted Islam, then they became sick. The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم sent them to some milk camels to drink their milk. While they were with them, they attacked the herdsman, who was a slave of the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم and killed him. They drove off the camels, and claimed that the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم had said: ‘Allah, make thirsty the one who makes the family of Muhammad thirsty tonight.’ The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم sent (men) after them, and they were caught. Then he had their hands and feet cut off, and their eyes gouged out.” Some of them (the narrators) added more than others, except that in his narration of this Hadith, Muawiyah said; “They drove them off to the land of of Shirk.” (Da’if)
