Volume 7 Book 71 Hadith 623

Volume 7, Book 71, Number 623:
Narrated Anas bin Malik:
Some people from the tribes of ‘Ukl and ‘Uraina came to Allah’s Apostle and embraced Islam and
said, “O Allah’s Apostle! We are owners of livestock and have never been farmers,” and they found
the climate of Medina unsuitable for them. So Allah’s Apostle ordered that they be given some camels
and a shepherd, and ordered them to go out with those camels and drink their milk and urine. So
they set out, but when they reached a place called Al-Harra, they reverted to disbelief after their
conversion to Islam, killed the shepherd and drove away the camels. When this news reached the
Prophet he sent in their pursuit (and they were caught and brought). The Prophet ordered that their
eyes be branded with heated iron bars and their hands be cut off, and they were left at Al-Harra till
they died in that state.
