It is narrated from Hazrat Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that eight men from the tribe of ‘Ukl came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and accepted Islam, but the climate of Madinah did not suit them. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to them,“If you go to our camels and drink their milk, perhaps you will recover.”So they did so, but when they became healthy, they reverted to disbelief and apostatized. They killed the Muslim shepherd of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and drove away the camels of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) sent some companions after them, they were captured and brought before the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered that their hands and feet be cut off from opposite sides, hot iron rods were passed through their eyes, and they were left in rocky areas until they died.
