307. It was narrated from Anas bin Mâlik that some Bedouins from 'Urainah came to the Prophet ﷺ and became Muslim, but the climate of Al-Madînah did not suit them; their skin turned yellow and their stomachs became swollen. The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ sent them to some pregnant camels of his and told them to drink their milk and urine until they recovered. Then they killed the camel-herder and drove the camels away. The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ sent people after them, and they were brought back. Their hands and feet were cut off and their eyes were smoldered with burning nails. The Commander of the Believers, 'Abdul-Malik, said to Anas – when he was narrating this Hadith to him – “(Were they being punished) for Kufr or for a sin?” He said: “For Kufr.” (Sahih)

Commentary
“On account of disbelief”; in fact, their crimes were several: disbelief, murder, robbery, savagery, etc. There was punishment for their every crime. Since disbelief is an enormous crime, only that is mentioned. Otherwise, none is killed in the said fashion on account of disbelief alone. They were, on the contrary, summarily treated in this way due to their many crimes, which included their disbelief.
