´It was narrated that Sa'eed bin Al-Musayyab said:` "Some 'Arab people came to the Messenger of Allah [SAW] and accepted Islam, then they became sick. The Messenger of Allah [SAW] sent them to some milk camels to drink their milk. While they were with them, they attacked the herdsman, who was a slave of the Messenger of Allah [SAW], and killed him. They drove off the camels, and claimed that the Messenger of Allah [SAW] had said: 'O Allah, make thirsty the one who makes the family of Muhammad thirsty tonight.' The Messenger of Allah [SAW] sent (men) after them, and they were caught. Then he had their hands and feet cut off, and their eyes gouged out." Some of them (the narrators) added more than others, except that in his narration of this Hadith, Mu'awiyah said: "They drove them off to the land of Shirk."

´It was narrated from Abu Az-Zinad that:` The Messenger of Allah [SAW] had the (hands and feet) of those who drove off his camels cut off, and their eyes gouged out with fire. Allah rebuked him for that, and Allah, Most High, revealed the entire verse: "The recompense of those who wage war against Allah and His Messenger."
Hafiz Muhammad Ameen
This narration is weak. This verse was not revealed by Allah Ta'ala to express displeasure towards the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam); rather, what is correct is what has been mentioned in other narrations: that the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) gouged out their eyes because they had treated the shepherd of the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) in that manner, so the same treatment was meted out to them in retribution (qisas). And Allah knows best.
