The climate of Medina did not suit some people, so the Prophet ﷺ ordered them to follow his shepherd, i.e. his camels, and drink their milk and urine (as a medicine). So they followed the shepherd that is the camels and drank their milk and urine till their bodies became healthy. Then they killed the shepherd and drove away the camels. When the news reached the Prophet ﷺ he sent some people in their pursuit. When they were brought, he cut their hands and feet and their eyes were branded with heated pieces of iron. (Using translation from Bukhārī 5686)   

البيهقي:١٩٦٧٤وَأَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ ثنا أَبُو الْحَسَنِ عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سَخْتَوَيْهَ ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَيُّوبَ ثنا أَبُو سَلَمَةَ ثنا هَمَّامٌ عَنْ قَتَادَةَ عَنْ أَنَسٍ

أَنَّ رَهْطًا مِنْ عُرَيْنَةَ أَتَوَا النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَقَالُوا إِنَّا قَدِ اجْتَوَيْنَا الْمَدِينَةَ وَعَظُمَتْ بُطُونُنَا وَارْتَهَسَتْ أَعْضَادُنَا فَأَمَرَهُمُ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ أَنْ يَلْحَقُوا بِرَاعِي الْإِبِلِ فَيَشْرَبُوا مِنْ أَلْبَانِهَا وَأَبْوَالِهَا فَلَحِقُوا بِرَاعِي الْإِبِلِ فَشَرِبُوا مِنْ أَبْوَالِهَا وَأَلْبَانِهَا حَتَّى صَلُحَتْ بُطُونُهُمْ وَأَبْدَانُهُمْ ثُمَّ قَتَلُوا الرَّاعِيَ وَسَاقُوا الْإِبِلَ فَبَلَغَ ذَلِكَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَبَعَثَ فِي طَلَبِهِمْ فَجِيءَ بِهِمْ فَقَطَعَ أَيْدِيَهُمْ وَأَرْجُلَهُمْ وَسَمَرَ أَعْيُنَهُمْ قَالَ قَتَادَةُ فَحَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سِيرِينَ أَنَّ ذَلِكَ قَبْلَ أَنْ تَنْزِلَ الْحُدُودُ  

رَوَاهُ الْبُخَارِيُّ فِي الصَّحِيحِ عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ وَرَوَاهُ مُسْلِمٌ عَنْ هُدْبَةَ بْنِ خَالِدٍ عَنْ هَمَّامٍ

البخاري:٥٦٨٦حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ حَدَّثَنَا هَمَّامٌ عَنْ قَتَادَةَ عَنْ أَنَسٍ ؓ

أَنَّ نَاسًا اجْتَوَوْا فِي الْمَدِينَةِ فَأَمَرَهُمُ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ أَنْ يَلْحَقُوا بِرَاعِيهِ يَعْنِي الإِبِلَ فَيَشْرَبُوا مِنْ أَلْبَانِهَا وَأَبْوَالِهَا فَلَحِقُوا بِرَاعِيهِ فَشَرِبُوا مِنْ أَلْبَانِهَا وَأَبْوَالِهَا حَتَّى صَلَحَتْ أَبْدَانُهُمْ فَقَتَلُوا الرَّاعِيَ وَسَاقُوا الإِبِلَ فَبَلَغَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَبَعَثَ فِي طَلَبِهِمْ فَجِيءَ بِهِمْ فَقَطَعَ أَيْدِيَهُمْ وَأَرْجُلَهُمْ وَسَمَرَ أَعْيُنَهُمْ قَالَ قَتَادَةُ فَحَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سِيرِينَ أَنَّ ذَلِكَ كَانَ قَبْلَ أَنْ تَنْزِلَ الْحُدُودُ  

ahmad:14086Bahz > ʿAffān > Hammām

[Machine] A group of people from the tribe of Urainah came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said, "We have become sick in the city, so our stomachs have become swollen and our bodies have become weak." So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ordered them to join the camel shepherd and drink from the milk and urine of the camels. They followed the camel shepherd and drank from the milk and urine of the camels until their stomachs and complexions improved. Then they killed the shepherd and stole the camels. The news reached the Prophet ﷺ, so he sent someone to search for them and they were brought back. He then cut off their hands and feet and gouged out their eyes. Qatadah narrated from Muhammad bin Sirin that this incident occurred before the laws of punishment were revealed.  

أحمد:١٤٠٨٦حَدَّثَنَا بَهْزٌ وَحَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ قَالَا حَدَّثَنَا هَمَّامٌ قَالَ عَفَّانُ فِي حَدِيثِهِ أَخْبَرَنَا قَتَادَةُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَنَسُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ وَقَالَ بَهْزٌ عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ

أَنَّ رَهْطًا مِنْ عُرَيْنَةَ أَتَوْا رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالُوا إِنَّا قَدِ اجْتَوَيْنَا الْمَدِينَةَ فَعَظُمَتْ بُطُونُنَا وَانْتَهَشَتْ أَعْضَادُنَا فَأَمَرَهُمْ رَسُولُاللهِ ﷺ أَنْ يَلْحَقُوا بِرَاعِي الْإِبِلِ فَيَشْرَبُوا مِنْ أَلْبَانِهَا وَأَبْوَالِهَا قَالَ فَلَحِقُوا بِرَاعِي الْإِبِلِ فَشَرِبُوا مِنْ أَلْبَانِهَا وَأَبْوَالِهَا حَتَّى صَلُحَتْ بُطُونُهُمْ وَأَلْوَانُهُمْ ثُمَّ قَتَلُوا الرَّاعِي وَاسْتَاقُوا الْإِبِلَ فَبَلَغَ ذَلِكَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَبَعَثَ فِي طَلَبِهِمْ فَجِيءَ بِهِمْ فَقَطَعَ أَيْدِيَهُمْ وَأَرْجُلَهُمْ وَسَمَرَ أَعْيُنَهُمْ قَالَ قَتَادَةُ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سِيرِينَ إِنَّمَا كَانَ هَذَا قَبْلَ أَنْ تَنْزِلَ الْحُدُودُ

[Machine] A group of the Banu Uraina came to the Prophet ﷺ and said, "We have been afflicted with internal pain, and our bodies have become weak." So the Prophet ﷺ commanded them to go and join the camel herders and drink from the urine and milk of the camels. They followed the camel herders and drank from their urine and milk until their stomachs and colors became better. Then they killed the camel herder and stole the camels. When the Prophet ﷺ found out, he sent people after them, who cut off their hands and feet and blinded their eyes. This incident is mentioned in the authentic narration of Hammam with an addition by Ibn Abi Aruba from Qatadah, and they were left in the wilderness until they died.  

البيهقي:١٦٠٨٥أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو مُحَمَّدِ بْنُ يُوسُفَ الْأَصْبَهَانِيُّ أنبأ أَبُو سَعِيدِ بْنُ الْأَعْرَابِيِّ ثنا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الزَّعْفَرَانِيُّ ثنا عَفَّانُ ثنا هَمَّامٌ أنبأ قَتَادَةُ عَنْ أَنَسٍ

أَنَّ رَهْطًا مِنْ عُرَيْنَةَ قَدِمُوا عَلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالُوا إِنَّا قَدِ اجْتَوَيْنَا الْمَدِينَةَ فَعَظُمَتْ بُطُونُنَا وَتَهَشَّمَتْ أَعْضَاؤُنَا فَأَمَرَهُمُ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ أَنْ يَلْحَقُوا بِرَاعِي الْإِبِلِ فَيَشْرَبُوا مِنْ أَبْوَالِهَا وَأَلْبَانِهَا قَالَ فَلَحِقُوا بِرَاعِي الْإِبِلِ فَشَرِبُوا مِنْ أَبْوَالِهَا وَأَلْبَانِهَا حَتَّى صَلَحَتْ بُطُونُهُمْ وَأَلْوَانُهُمْ فَقَتَلُوا الرَّاعِيَ وَاسْتَاقُوا الْإِبِلَ فَبَلَغَ ذَلِكَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَبَعَثَ فِي طَلَبِهِمْ فَقَطَعَ أَيْدِيَهُمْ وَأَرْجُلَهُمْ وَسَمَرَ أَعْيُنَهُمْ أَخْرَجَاهُ فِي الصَّحِيحِ مِنْ حَدِيثِ هَمَّامٍ زَادَ فِيهِ ابْنُ أَبِي عَرُوبَةَ عَنْ قَتَادَةَ وَتَرَكَهُمْ فِي الْحَرَّةِ حَتَّى مَاتُوا
