3018. Narrated Anas bin Mālik رضي الله عنه: A group of eight men from the tribe of ‘Ukl came to the Prophet ﷺ and then they found the climate of Al-Madīna unsuitable for them. So, they said, “O Allāh’s Messenger! Provide us with some milk.” Allāh’s Messenger ﷺ said, “I recommend that you should join the herd of camels.” So, they went and drank the urine and the milk of the camels (as a medicine) till they became healthy and fat. Then they killed the shepherd and drove away the camels, and they became disbelievers after embracing Islām. When the Prophet ﷺ was informed by a shouter for help, he sent some men in their pursuit, and before the sun rose high, they were caught and brought, and he had their hands and feet cut off. Then he ordered for nails which were heated and were branded with those nails, their eyes, and (1) (Ch. 150) By killing the infidels. they were left in the Harra (i.e., rocky land in Al-Madina). And when they asked for water, no water was given to them till they died. Abū Qilāba, a subnarrator said, "They committed murder and theft and fought against Allāh and His Messenger ﷺ and spread evil in the land."

3018 - حَدَّثَنَا مُعَلَّى بْنُ أَسَدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا وُهَيْبٌ، عَنْ أَيُّوبَ، عَنْ أَبِي قِلاَبَةَ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ: أَنَّ رَهْطًا مِنْ عُكْلٍ، ثَمَانِيَةً، قَدِمُوا عَلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَاجْتَوَوْا المَدِينَةَ، فَقَالُوا: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ابْغِنَا رِسْلًا، قَالَ: «مَا أَجِدُ لَكُمْ إِلَّا أَنْ تَلْحَقُوا بِالذَّوْدِ»، فَانْطَلَقُوا، فَشَرِبُوا مِنْ أَبْوَالِهَا وَأَلْبَانِهَا، حَتَّى صَحُّوا وَسَمِنُوا، وَقَتَلُوا الرَّاعِيَ وَاسْتَاقُوا الذَّوْدَ، وَكَفَرُوا بَعْدَ إِسْلاَمِهِمْ، فَأَتَى الصَّرِيخُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَبَعَثَ الطَّلَبَ، فَمَا تَرَجَّلَ النَّهَارُ حَتَّى أُتِيَ بِهِمْ، فَقَطَّعَ أَيْدِيَهُمْ وَأَرْجُلَهُمْ، ثُمَّ أَمَرَ بِمَسَامِيرَ فَأُحْمِيَتْ فَكَحَلَهُمْ بِهَا، وَطَرَحَهُمْ بِالحَرَّةِ، يَسْتَسْقُونَ فَمَا يُسْقَوْنَ، حَتَّى مَاتُوا، قَالَ أَبُو قِلاَبَةَ: قَتَلُوا وَسَرَقُوا وَحَارَبُوا اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، وَسَعَوْا فِي الأَرْضِ فَسَادًا
