أَبِي الزِّنَادِ : " أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَمَّا قَطَّعَ الَّذِينَ سَرَقُوا لِقَاحَهُ , وَسَمَلَ أَعْيُنَهُمْ بِالنَّارِ ، عَاتَبَهُ اللَّهُ فِي ذَلِكَ ، فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى : إِنَّمَا جَزَاءُ الَّذِينَ يُحَارِبُونَ اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ سورة المائدة آية 33 الْآيَةَ كُلَّهَا " .
´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.
