Mukhtasar Muslim (Abridged) 1024 — Ruling on one who apostatizes

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik, may Allah be pleased with him, that eight men from the tribe of ‘Ukl came to the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, and pledged allegiance to him upon Islam. Then the climate of (Madina) did not suit them and their bodies became ill. They complained to the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, so he said, “Will you not go with our shepherd to the camels and drink their milk and urine?” They said, “Alright.” Then they went out and drank the milk and urine of the she-camels and became well. Then they killed the shepherd and drove away the camels. This news reached the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, so he sent a group after them. They were captured and brought back, and by his order, their hands and feet were cut off and their eyes were gouged out with a needle, then they were thrown out in the sun until they died.
