أَخْبَرَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَمْرِو بْنِ السَّرْحِ قَالَ أَنْبَأَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي اللَّيْثُ عَنْ ابْنِ عَجْلَانَ عَنْ أَبِي الزِّنَادِ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَمَّا قَطَّعَ الَّذِينَ سَرَقُوا لِقَاحَهُ وَسَمَلَ أَعْيُنَهُمْ بِالنَّارِ عَاتَبَهُ اللَّهُ فِي ذَلِکَ فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَی إِنَّمَا جَزَائُ الَّذِينَ يُحَارِبُونَ اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ الْآيَةَ کُلَّهَا
سنن نسائی · Hadith 4057
It was narrated from Abu Az Zinad that the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم had the (hands and feet) of those who drove off his camels cut off, and their eyes gouged out with fire. Allah rebuked him for that, and Allah, Most High, revealed the entire verse: “The recompense of those who wage war against Allah and His Messenger.” (Da’if)
