[Machine] A group of people from the tribe of Ukl came to the Prophet ﷺ and embraced Islam. They fell ill in Medina, so the Prophet ﷺ ordered them to go to the camels of charity and drink from their urine and milk. They did as he instructed, but they killed the camel herder and ran away. The Prophet ﷺ sent a group to chase after them and they captured them. The Prophet ﷺ punished them by cutting off their hands and feet, gouging out their eyes, and leaving them until they died. Allah revealed the verse: "The punishment of those who wage war against Allah and His Messenger..." (Quran 5:33). Anas narrated that eight people from the tribe of Ukl came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , and he mentioned the incident until he reached the words "they killed the camel herder."
أَنَّ نَفَرًا مِنْ عُكْلٍ قَدِمُوا عَلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَأَسْلَمُوا فَاجْتَوَوُا الْمَدِينَةَ فَأَمَرَهُمْ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ أَنْ يَأْتُوا إِبِلَ الصَّدَقَةِ فَيَشْرَبُوا مِنْ أَبْوَالِهَا وَأَلْبَانِهَا فَفَعَلُوا فَقَتَلُوا رَاعِيَهَا وَاسْتَاقُوهَا فَبَعَثَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فِي طَلَبِهِمْ قَافَةً «فَأُتِيَ بِهِمْ فَقَطَّعَ أَيْدِيَهُمْ وَأَرْجُلَهُمْ وَسَمَلَ أَعْيُنَهُمْ وَلَمْ يَحْسِمْهُمْ وَتَرَكَهُمْ حَتَّى مَاتُوا» فَأَنْزَلَ اللهُ {إِنَّمَا جَزَاءُ الَّذِينَ يُحَارِبُونَ اللهَ وَرَسُولَهُ} [المائدة 33] الْآيَةَ [431] 3475 أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يُوسُفَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا الْأَوْزَاعِيُّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي يَحْيَى قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو قِلَابَةَ عَنْ أَنَسٍ قَالَ قَدِمَ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ ثَمَانِيَةُ نَفَرٍ مِنْ عُكْلٍ فَذَكَرَ نَحْوَهُ إِلَى قَوْلِهِ «لَمْ يَحْسِمْهُمْ» وَقَالَ «فَقَتَلُوا الرَّاعِيَ»
