Al-Kafi 13944

Translation

Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Ali Bin Al Hakam and Humeyd Bin Ziyad, from Ibn Sama’at, from someone else from his companions, altogether from Aban Bin Usman, from Abu Salih, Abu Abdullah^asws has said: ‘A group of sick people from the Clan of Zabbat came to Rasool-Allah^saww. So Rasool-Allah^saww said to them: ‘Stay with me^saww, so whenever you are cured, I^saww will send you with an escort, secretly. So they said, ‘Get us out from Al-Medina’. So he^saww sent them to the charity camels. They were drinking from their urine and eating from their milk. So when they were cured and became strong, they killed three people who were tending the camels. So (the news) reached Rasool-Allah^saww, so he^saww sent Ali^asws to them, and they were in a valley and were confused (of their way) and did not have the ability to come out from it, near to the land of Al-Yemen. So he^asws captured them and came with them to Rasool-Allah^saww. So this Verse was Revealed unto him^saww <span class="ibTxt"><a href="/#/books/quran:5#h33"><a href="/books/quran:5#h33">[5:33]</a></a> But rather, the Recompense of those who wage war against Allah and His Rasool and strive to make mischief in the land is only this, that they should be killed or crucified or their hands and their feet should be cut off on opposite sides or they should be exiled from the land</span>. So Rasool-Allah^saww chose the cutting, so he^saww cut their hands, and their feet from opposite sides’.
