4040. It was narrated that Anas bin Mālik said: "Some Bedouin from 'Uraynah came to the Prophet of Allāh ﷺ and accepted Islam, but the climate of Al-Madīnah did not suit them; their
skin turned yellow and their bellies became swollen. The Prophet of Allāh sent them to some milk camels of his and told them to drink their milk and urine until they recovered. Then they killed their herdsman and drove off the camels. The Prophet of Allāh sent (men) after them and they were brought back, then he had their hands and feet cut off, and their eyes were branded.” The Commander of the Believers, ‘Abdul-Malik, said to Anas, when he was narrating this Hadīth: “Was that (punishment) for Kufr or for sin?” He said: “For Kufr.” (Sahīh)
