Sahih al-Bukhari 6558 (Book 86, Hadith 33)
Suffa, but they became ill as the climate of Medina did not suit them, so they said, “O Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ)!
Provide us with milk.” The Prophet (ﷺ) said, I see no other way for you than to use the camels of Allah’s
Apostle.” So they went and drank the milk and urine of the camels, (as medicine) and became healthy
and fat. Then they killed the shepherd and took the camels away. When a help-seeker came to Allah’s
Apostle, he sent some men in their pursuit, and they were captured and brought before mid day. The
Prophet ordered for some iron pieces to be made red hot, and their eyes were branded with them and
their hands and feet were cut off and were not cauterized. Then they were put at a place called Al-
Harra, and when they asked for water to drink they were not given till they died. (Abu Qilaba said,
“Those people committed theft and murder and fought against Allah and His Apostle.”)
“ مَا أَجِدُ لَكُمْ إِلاَّ أَنْ تَلْحَقُوا بِإِبِلِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ”. فَأَتَوْهَا فَشَرِبُوا مِنْ أَلْبَانِهَا وَأَبْوَالِهَا حَتَّى صَحُّوا وَسَمِنُوا، وَقَتَلُوا الرَّاعِيَ وَاسْتَاقُوا الذَّوْدَ، فَأَتَى النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم الصَّرِيخُ، فَبَعَثَ الطَّلَبَ فِي آثَارِهِمْ، فَمَا تَرَجَّلَ النَّهَارُ حَتَّى أُتِيَ بِهِمْ، فَأَمَرَ بِمَسَامِيرَ فَأُحْمِيَتْ فَكَحَلَهُمْ وَقَطَعَ أَيْدِيَهُمْ وَأَرْجُلَهُمْ، وَمَا حَسَمَهُمْ، ثُمَّ أُلْقُوا فِي الْحَرَّةِ يَسْتَسْقُونَ فَمَا سُقُوا حَتَّى مَاتُوا. قَالَ أَبُو قِلاَبَةَ سَرَقُوا وَقَتَلُوا وَحَارَبُوا اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ.
