[Machine] We were with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in a battle when the people were afflicted with an outbreak. The people asked the Messenger of Allah ﷺ for permission to cut off some of their camels' humps and said, "By doing so, Allah will protect us." When 'Umar bin Al-Khattab saw that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ intended to give them permission, he said, "O Messenger of Allah, they have corrupted their religion and sinned, and blamed Allah for their misfortune. Would you give them permission to do that?"
