Some people were sick and they said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! Give us shelter and food. So when they became healthy they said, "The weather of Medina is not suitable for us." So he sent them to Al-Harra with some she-camels of his and said, "Drink of their milk." But when they became healthy, they killed the shepherd of the Prophet (ﷺ) and drove away his camels. The Prophet (ﷺ) sent some people in their pursuit. Then he got their hands and feet cut and their eyes were branded with heated pieces of iron. I saw one of them licking the earth with his tongue till he died. Salim said: I got this news that Hajjaj submitted to Hadrat Anas رضی اللہ عنہ: Tell me the severest punishment the prophet ﷺ meted out to someone; he, thereupon, narrated this Hadith. This Hadith reached Hadith Basri and he said: Would that this Hadith had not been narrated.
