Sunan Ibn Majah: Book 20, Hadith 46

Anas bin Malik narrated that : some people from (the tribe of) `Urainah came to us (to Al-Madinah) during the time of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), but they did not want to stay in Al-Madinah because the climate did not suit them. He said: “Go out to the camels which belong to us, and drink their milk and urine.” So they did that (and recovered), then they apostatized from Islam and killed the herdsman of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and stole his camels. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) sent people after them, and they were brought back. Then he cut off their hands and feet, branded their eyes and left them in Harrah until they died.

حَدَّثَنَا نَصْرُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ الْجَهْضَمِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَهَّابِ، حَدَّثَنَا حُمَيْدٌ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، أَنَّ أُنَاسًا، مِنْ عُرَيْنَةَ قَدِمُوا عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَاجْتَوَوُا الْمَدِينَةَ فَقَالَ ‏
“‏ لَوْ خَرَجْتُمْ إِلَى ذَوْدٍ لَنَا فَشَرِبْتُمْ مِنْ أَلْبَانِهَا وَأَبْوَالِهَا ‏”‏ ‏.‏ فَفَعَلُوا فَارْتَدُّوا عَنِ الإِسْلاَمِ وَقَتَلُوا رَاعِيَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَاسْتَاقُوا ذَوْدَهُ فَبَعَثَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ فِي طَلَبِهِمْ فَجِيءَ بِهِمْ فَقَطَعَ أَيْدِيَهُمْ وَأَرْجُلَهُمْ وَسَمَرَ أَعْيُنَهُمْ وَتَرَكَهُمْ بِالْحَرَّةِ حَتَّى مَاتُوا ‏.‏

Sunan Ibn Majah: Book 20, Hadith 46
Sahih (Darussalam)

 
The above hadith is from the Sunan Ibn Majah collection of hadiths. As a key component of the Kutub al-Sittah, Sunan Ibn Majah was authored by the Islamic scholar Ibn Majah (d. 886 CE) and includes roughly 4,000 prophetic traditions. The scope of the work is comprehensive, covering essential areas such as theological beliefs, laws governing worship, moral principles, and various societal matters. It is important to note that while the collection is highly valued, its status is distinct from the other five major books. Scholars frequently place it in a separate category because its contents include a proportion of weak or disputed narrations not found in the more stringent compilations. However, its comprehensive nature ensures its continued importance as a scholarly resource.
