Sahih al-Bukhari 4016 (Book 64, Hadith 232)
Islam and said, “O Allah’s Prophet! We are the owners of milch livestock (i.e. bedouins) and not
farmers (i.e. countrymen).” They found the climate of Medina unsuitable for them. So Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ)
ordered that they should be provided with some milch camels and a shepherd and ordered them to go
out of Medina and to drink the camels’ milk and urine (as medicine) So they set out and when they
reached Al-Harra, they reverted to Heathenism after embracing Islam, and killed the shepherd of the
Prophet and drove away the camels. When this news reached the Prophet, he sent some people in
pursuit of them. (So they were caught and brought back to the Prophet (ﷺ) ). The Prophet (ﷺ) gave his orders
in their concern. So their eyes were branded with pieces of iron and their hands and legs were cut off
and they were left away in Harra till they died in that state of theirs. (See Hadith 234 Vol 1)
