It is reported from Abu Raja' (may Allah have mercy on him) that Abu Qilabah (may Allah have mercy on him) was with Umar bin Abd al-Aziz (may Allah have mercy on him). He asked them about qasamah, and they answered: "The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and the Rightly Guided Caliphs carried out retaliation by it." He said: "O Abu Qilabah, what do you say?" He said: "You have with you great chiefs and the nobles of the Arabs, and great armies. If a man from the people of Hims accused a man from the people of Damascus of theft without having seen it, would you cut off his hand?" He said: "No." He said: "If, likewise, four men testified to adultery without having seen it, would you stone him?" He said: "No." Then Abu Qilabah (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "This (qasamah) too is like that. By Allah, we do not know that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) ever killed anyone, except a man who killed someone and was killed in return for him." Anbasah bin Sa'id (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "Then where is the hadith of the Urayniyyin?" Abu Qilabah (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "It was Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) who narrated this very hadith to us: that some people of Ukl and Uraynah came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and the climate of Madinah did not suit them, so he (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered them to stay with the herdsman of the camels and to drink their milk and urine. They went, and when they recovered, they killed the herdsman and ran off with the camels. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) learned of it early in the day. He (peace and blessings be upon him) sent people after them, and before the day was far advanced they were caught and brought to him. He (peace and blessings be upon him) had their hands and feet cut off, had hot irons passed over their eyes and had them thrown in the sun; they asked for water but were not given water until they died. These were people who, after having believed, killed, stole and then disbelieved." Anbasah (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "Subhan Allah (Glory be to Allah)." Abu Qilabah (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "Anbasah, are you accusing me of lying?" He said: "No. Rather, as long as Allah keeps you among them, Allah will keep these people in goodness."
