Abu Ja‘far Muhammad ibn al-Sabbah and Abu Bakr ibn Abi Shaybah narrated to us—and the wording is that of Abu Bakr—they said: Ibn ‘Ulayyah narrated to us, from Hajjaj ibn Abi ‘Uthman, who said: Abu Raja’, the freed slave of Abu Qilabah, narrated to me, from Abu Qilabah, who said: Anas narrated to me that a group of eight men from ‘Ukl came to the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, and pledged allegiance to him upon Islam. But they found the land disagreeable, and their bodies became ill. They complained of that to the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him. He said: “Will you not go out with our shepherd among his camels and drink from their urine and their milk?” They said: Yes. So they went out and drank from their urine and their milk, and they recovered. Then they killed the shepherd and drove away the camels. When that reached the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, he sent [men] in their pursuit. They were caught and brought to him, and he ordered [that] their hands and feet be cut off, and their eyes be branded with heated nails. Then they were cast out in the sun until they died.

Ibn al-Sabbah said in his narration: “and they drove away the camels,” and he said: “and their eyes were branded with heated nails.”
