جامع ترمذی · Hadith 73
Anas bin Malik narrated: Allah's Messenger only poked out their eyes because they had poked out the eyes of the camel driver. Abu 'Eisa said: This Hadfth is Gharib. We do not know anyone who mentioned it other than this shaikh, from Yazid bin Zurai. And it is in accordance with the meaning of Allah's saying: And wounds equal for equal It has been reported that Muhammad bin Sirin said: The Prophet only did this to them before the legislated punishments were revealed.
