٢٠۔ كِتَابُ الْحُدُودِ
ذِكْرُ الْبَيَانِ بِأَنَّ الْمُصْطَفَى ﷺ بَعَثَ فِي طَلَبِ الْعُرَنِيِّينَ قَافَةً يَقْفُو آثَارَهُمْ
Some people from 'Ukl came to the Prophet [SAW] but the climate of Al-Madinah did not suit them. The Prophet [SAW] told them to go to the camels that had been given in Sadaqah and drink some of their milk and urine. They did that, then they killed their herdsman and drove off the camels. The Prophet [SAW] sent (men) after them, and they were brought to him. He had their hands and feet cut off, and their eyes gouged out, and he did not have (their wounds) cauterized, and he left them to die. Then Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, revealed: "The recompense of those who wage war against Allah and His Messenger." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 4025)
قَدِمَ ثَمَانِيَةُ نَفَرٍ مِنْ عُكْلٍ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَاجْتَوَوَا الْمَدِينَةَ «فَأَمَرَ بِهِمْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَنْ يَأْتُوا إِبِلَ الصَّدَقَةِ فَيَشْرَبُوا مِنْ أَلْبَانِهَا وَأَبْوَالِهَا» فَفَعَلُوا فَقَتَلُوا الرَّاعِيَ وَاسْتَاقُوا الْإِبِلَ «فَبَعَثَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فِي طَلَبِهِمْ قَافَةً فَأُتِيَ بِهِمْ فَقَطَعَ أَيْدِيَهُمْ وَأَرْجُلَهُمْ وَسَمَّرَ أَعْيُنَهُمْ وَتَرَكَهُمْ وَلَمْ يَحْسِمْهُمْ»
ذِكْرُ الْمُدَّةِ الَّتِي رَدَّ الْقَوْمُ الَّذِي ذَكَرْنَاهُمْ فِيهَا إِلَى الْمَدِينَةِ
A group of people from ʿUkl (or ʿUraina) tribe ----but I think he said that they were from ʿUkl came to Medina and (they became ill, so) the Prophet ﷺ ordered them to go to the herd of (Milch) she-camels and told them to go out and drink the camels' urine and milk (as a medicine). So they went and drank it, and when they became healthy, they killed the shepherd and drove away the camels. This news reached the Prophet ﷺ early in the morning, so he sent (some) men in their pursuit and they were captured and brought to the Prophet ﷺ before midday. He ordered to cut off their hands and legs and their eyes to be branded with heated iron pieces and they were thrown at Al-Harra, and when they asked for water to drink, they were not given water. (Abu Qilaba said, "Those were the people who committed theft and murder and reverted to disbelief after being believers (Muslims), and fought against Allah and His Apostle"). (Using translation from Bukhārī 6805)
عُكْلٍ قَدِمُوا الْمَدِينَةَ «فَأَمَرَ لَهُمُ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ بِلِقَاحٍ وَأَمَرَهُمْ أَنْ يَخْرُجُوا فَيَشْرَبُوا مِنْ أَبْوَالِهَا وَأَلْبَانِهَا» فَشَرِبُوا حَتَّى إِذَا بَرِؤُوا قَتَلُوا الرَّاعِيَ وَاسْتَاقُوا النَّعَمَ فَبَلَغَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ غُدْوَةً فَبَعَثَ الطَّلَبَ فِي أَثَرِهِمْ فَمَا ارْتَفَعَ النَّهَارُ حَتَّى جِيءَ بِهِمْ «فَأَمَرَ بِهِمْ فَقَطَعَ أَيْدِيَهُمْ وَأَرْجُلَهُمْ وَسَمَّرَ أَعْيُنَهُمْ فَأُلْقُوا بِالْحَرَّةِ يَسْتَسْقُونَ فَلَا يَسْقُونَ» قَالَ أَبُو قِلَابَةَ «هَؤُلَاءِ قَوْمٌ سَرَقُوا وَقَتَلُوا وَكَفَرُوا بَعْدَ إِيمَانِهِمْ وَحَارَبُوا اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ»
ذِكْرُ الْمُدَّةِ الَّتِي جِيءَ فِيهَا بِالْعُرَنِيِّينَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ
Some people of ‘Ukl or ‘Urainah’ came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and found Madinah unhealthy. So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ordered them to go to the camels (of the sadaqah) and ordered them to drink some of their urine and milk. They went there when they became well, they killed the herdsman of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and drove off the camels. The news about them reached the prophet ﷺ early in the morning. So he sent people in pursuit of them, and they were brought when they day had risen high. He ordered and their hands and feet were cut off and nails were drawn into their eyes, and they were thrown out of Harrah. They begged for water but were not supplied water. Abu Qilabah said: They were people who had stolen, killed, apostatized after their faith and fought against Allah and his Apostle ﷺ. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 4364)
مِنْ عُرَيْنَةَ قَدِمُوا الْمَدِينَةَ فَاجْتَوَوْهَا «فَأَمَرَ لَهُمُ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ بِلِقَاحٍ وَأَمَرَهُمْ أَنْ يَشْرَبُوا مِنْ أَلْبَانِهَا وَأَبْوَالِهَا فَشَرِبُوا مِنْ أَلْبَانِهَا وَأَبْوَالِهَا حَتَّى بَرِئُوا» وَذَهَبَ سَقَمُهُمْ فَقَتَلُوا رَاعِيَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَطَرَدُوا النَّعَمَ «فَبَلَغَ ذَلِكَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَبَعَثَ إِلَيْهِمْ غُدْوَةً فَمَا ارْتَفَعَ النَّهَارُ حَتَّى جِيءَ بِهِمْ فَقُطِعَتْ أَيْدِيهِمْ وَأَرْجُلَهُمْ وَسَمَلَ أَعْيُنَهُمْ وَأُلْقُوا بِالْحَرَّةِ يَسْتَسْقُونَ فَلَا يُسْقَوْنَ» قَالَ فَقَالَ أَبُو قِلَابَةَ «هَؤُلَاءِ قَوْمٌ قَتَلُوا وَسَرَقُوا وَكَفَرُوا بَعْدَ إِيمَانِهِمْ وَحَارَبُوا اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ ﷺ»
ذِكْرُ الْبَيَانِ بِأَنَّ الْمُصْطَفَى ﷺ طَرَحَ الْعُرَنِيِّينَ فِي الشَّمْسِ بَعْدَ تَعْذِيبِهِ إِيَّاهُمْ بِمَا عَذَّبَ حَتَّى مَاتُوا
A group of eighty people from 'Ukl came to the Prophet [SAW], but the climate of Al-Madinah did not suit them and they fell sick. They complained about that to the Messenger of Allah [SAW] and he said: "Why don't you go out with our herdsmen and drink the milk and urine of the camels?" They said: "Yes (we will do that)." They went out and drank some of the (camels') milk and urine, and they recovered. Then they killed the herdsman of the Messenger of Allah [SAW], so he sent (men after them) and they caught them and brought them back. He had their hands and feet cut off and branded their eyes, and left them in the sun to die. (Using translation from Nasāʾī 4024)
أَنَّ نَفَرًا مِنْ عُكْلٍ ثَمَانِيَةً قَدِمُوا عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَبَايَعُوهُ عَلَى الْإِسْلَامِ فَاسْتَوْخَمُوا الْأَرْضَ وَسَقِمَتْ أَجْسَامُهُمْ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «أَلَا تَخْرُجُونَ مَعَ رَاعِينَا فِي إِبِلِهِ فَتُصِيبُونَ مِنْ أَلْبَانِهَا وَأَبْوَالِهَا؟ » فَقَالُوا بَلَى فَخَرَجُوا فَشَرِبُوا مِنْ أَلْبَانِهَا وَأَبْوَالِهَا فَصَحُّوا فَقَتَلُوا رَاعِيَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَطَرَدُوا النَّعَمَ فَبَلَغَ ذَلِكَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَبَعَثَ فِي آثَارِهِمْ فَجَلَبَهُمْ فَأَمَرَ بِهِمْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَطَعَ أَيْدِيَهُمْ وَأَرْجُلَهُمْ وَسَمَّرَ أَعْيُنَهُمْ وَنَبَذَهُمْ فِي الشَّمْسِ حَتَّى مَاتُوا
ذِكْرُ الْبَيَانِ بِأَنَّ الْعُرَنِيِّينَ كَفَرُوا بَعْدَ فِعْلِهِمُ الَّذِي فَعَلُوا
"Some people from 'Uraynah came to the Messenger of Allah [SAW] and the Messenger of Allah [SAW] said to them: 'Why don't you go out to our camels and stay with them and drink their milk and urine?' So they did that, and when they recovered, they went to the herdsman of the Messenger of Allah [SAW] and killed him, reverted to being disbelievers, and drove off the camels of the Prophet [SAW]. He sent (men) after them, and they were brought to him. He had their hands and feet cut off, and their eyes gouged out." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 4029)
أَنَّهُ قَدِمَ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ نَفَرٌ مِنْ عُرَيْنَةَ فَقَالَ لَهُمْ «لَوْ خَرَجْتُمْ إِلَى ذَوْدِنَا فَكُنْتُمْ فِيهَا فَشَرِبْتُمْ مِنْ أَلْبَانِهَا وَأَبْوَالِهَا» فَفَعَلُوا فَلَمَّا صَحُّوا قَامُوا إِلَى رَاعِي رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَتَلُوهُ وَرَجَعُوا كُفَّارًا وَاسْتَاقُوا ذَوْدَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَأَرْسَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فِي طَلَبِهِمْ فَأُتِيَ بِهِمْ فَقَطَعَ أَيْدِيَهُمْ وَأَرْجُلَهُمْ وَسَمَّلَ أَعْيُنَهُمْ
ذِكْرُ الْبَيَانِ بِأَنَّ الْمُصْطَفَى ﷺ إِنَّمَا قَتَلَ الْعُرَنِيِّينَ لِأَنَّهُمْ كَفَرُوا وَارْتَدُّوا بَعْدَ إِسْلَامِهِمْ
Some people from the tribes of ʿUkl and ʿUraina came to Messenger of Allah ﷺ and embraced Islam and said, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! We are owners of livestock and have never been farmers," and they found the climate of Medina unsuitable for them. So Messenger of Allah ﷺ ordered that they be given some camels and a shepherd, and ordered them to go out with those camels and drink their milk and urine. So they set out, but when they reached a place called Al-Harra, they reverted to disbelief after their conversion to Islam, killed the shepherd and drove away the camels. When this news reached the Prophet ﷺ he sent in their pursuit (and they were caught and brought). The Prophet ﷺ ordered that their eyes be branded with heated iron bars and their hands be cut off, and they were left at Al-Harra till they died in that state. (Using translation from Bukhārī 5727)
أَنَّ نَاسًا مِنْ عُكْلٍ وَعُرَيْنَةَ قَدِمُوا عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَتَكَلَّمُوا بِالْإِسْلَامِ وَقَالُوا يَا نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ إِنَّا كُنَّا أَهْلَ ضَرْعٍ وَلَمْ نَكُنْ أَهْلَ رِيفٍ وَاسْتَوْخَمُوا الْمَدِينَةَ «فَأَمَرَ لَهُمْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ بِذَوْدٍ وَرَاعي وَأَمَرَهُمْ أَنْ يَخْرُجُوا لِيَشْرَبُوا مِنْ أَبْوَالِهَا وَأَلْبَانِهَا» فَانْطَلَقُوا حَتَّى إِذَا كَانُوا فِي نَاحِيَةِ الْحَرَّةِ كَفَرُوا بَعْدَ إِسْلَامِهِمْ وَقَتَلُوا رَاعِيَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَاسْتَاقُوا الذَّوْدَ فَبَلَغَ ذَلِكَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَبَعَثَ الطَّلَبَ فِي آثَارِهِمْ فَأُتِيَ بِهِمْ فَسَمَّرَ أَعْيُنَهُمْ وَقَطَعَ أَيْدِيَهُمْ وَأَرْجُلَهُمْ ثُمَّ تَرَكَهُمْ فِي نَاحِيَةِ الْحَرَّةِ حَتَّى مَاتُوا عَلَى حَالِهِمْ ذَلِكَ
ذِكْرُ خَبَرٍ قَدْ يُوهِمُ عَالِمًا مِنَ النَّاسِ ضِدَّ مَا ذَهَبْنَا إِلَيْهِ
[Machine] "Do not cut his hand, for the Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to stand among us and command us to give charity and forbid us from mutilation."
لَا تَقْطَعْ يَدَهُ «فَإِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ كَانَ يَقُومُ فِينَا فَيَأْمُرُنَا بِالصَّدَقَةِ وَيَنْهَانَا عَنِ الْمُثْلَةِ»
ذِكْرُ الْبَيَانِ بِأَنَّ الْمُصْطَفَى ﷺ إِنَّمَا سَمَّرَ أَعْيَنَ الْعُرَنِيِّينَ لِأَنَّهُمْ سَمَّرُوا أَعْيَنَ الرِّعَاءِ
[Machine] "That the Prophet ﷺ only dyed their eyes because they dyed the eyes of the herd."
«أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ إِنَّمَا سَمَّرَ أَعْيُنَهُمْ لِأَنَّهُمْ سَمَّرُوا أَعْيَنَ الرِّعَاءِ»
