167 hadith in this book
It was narrated that Anas bin Malik said: "Some Bedouin from 'Uraynah came to the Prophet (ﷺ) of Allah [SAW] and accepted Islam, but the climate of Al-Madinah did not suit them; their skin turned yellow and their bellies became swollen. The Prophet (ﷺ) of Allah sent them to some milk camels of his and told them to drink their milk and urine until they recovered. Then they killed their herdsmen and drove off the camels. The Prophet (ﷺ) of Allah sent (men) after them and they were brought back, then he had their hands and feet cut off, and their eyes were branded." The Commander of the Believers, 'Abdul-Malik, said to Anas, when he was narrating this Hadith: "Was that (punishment) for Kufr or for sin?" He said: "For Kufr."

It was narrated that Sa'eed bin Al-Musayyab said: "Some 'Arab people came to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) [SAW] and accepted Islam, then they became sick. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) [SAW] sent them to some milk camels to drink their milk. While they were with them, they attacked the herdsman, who was a slave of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) [SAW], and killed him. They drove off the camels, and claimed that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) [SAW] had said: 'O Allah, make thirsty the one who makes the family of Muhammad thirsty tonight.' The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) [SAW] sent (men) after them, and they were caught. Then he had their hands and feet cut off, and their eyes gouged out." Some of them (the narrators) added more than others, except that in his narration of this Hadith, Mu'awiyah said: "They drove them off to the land of Shirk."
