English translation
4364. It was narrated from Ḥammād, from Ayyūb, from Abū Qilābah, from Anas bin Mālik that some people from ‘Ukl – or he said: from ‘Urainah – came to the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ but they found that the climate of Al-Madinah made them unwell, so the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ told them to go to the milch-camels and drink their urine and milk. So they went there, then when they became well again, they killed the herdsman of the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ and drove off the camels. News of that reached the Prophet ﷺ at the beginning of the day, and he sent people after them. The day had not advanced very far before they were brought. He ordered that their hands and feet be cut off and their eyes be branded, then they were thrown in the Harrah[1] where they asked for water but were not given any. (Saḥīḥ) Abū Qilābah said: “They were people who stole and killed, and they disbelieved after having believed, and they waged war against Allāh and His Messenger.”
