Sahih al-Bukhari 5686
حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، حَدَّثَنَا هَمَّامٌ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ أَنَّ نَاسًا، اجْتَوَوْا فِي الْمَدِينَةِ فَأَمَرَهُمُ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم أَنْ يَلْحَقُوا بِرَاعِيهِ ـ يَعْنِي الإِبِلَ ـ فَيَشْرَبُوا مِنْ أَلْبَانِهَا وَأَبْوَالِهَا، فَلَحِقُوا بِرَاعِيهِ فَشَرِبُوا مِنْ أَلْبَانِهَا وَأَبْوَالِهَا، حَتَّى صَلَحَتْ أَبْدَانُهُمْ فَقَتَلُوا الرَّاعِيَ وَسَاقُوا الإِبِلَ، فَبَلَغَ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَبَعَثَ فِي طَلَبِهِمْ، فَجِيءَ بِهِمْ فَقَطَعَ أَيْدِيَهُمْ وَأَرْجُلَهُمْ، وَسَمَرَ أَعْيُنَهُمْ. قَالَ قَتَادَةُ فَحَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سِيرِينَ أَنَّ ذَلِكَ كَانَ قَبْلَ أَنْ تَنْزِلَ الْحُدُودُ.
Mūsā ibn Ismāʿīl narrated to us: Hammām narrated to us, from Qatādah, from Anas (may Allah be pleased with him): “Some people found Medina unsuitable for them, so the Prophet ﷺ instructed them to join his camel herder—meaning, the camels—and drink their milk and urine. They joined the herder and drank their milk and urine until their bodies recovered. Then they killed the herder and drove off the camels. News reached the Prophet ﷺ, and he sent men in pursuit of them. They were brought back, and he had their hands and feet cut off and their eyes branded.” Qatādah said: Muḥammad ibn Sīrīn informed me that this happened before the prescribed punishments were revealed.
