Killing polytheists after capture by striking the neck, without mutilation

Sayyiduna Shaddad bin Aws (may Allah be pleased with him) says: I have memorised two things from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): "Allah Almighty has prescribed excellence (ihsan) in everything. When you kill, kill in the best manner, and when you slaughter, slaughter in the best manner; and sharpen your blade and give your animal ease."

Abdullah bin Yazid (may Allah be pleased with him) says that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade "mutilation and plunder."

Sulayman bin Buraydah (may Allah have mercy on him) narrates from his father (Sayyiduna Buraydah, may Allah be pleased with him) that whenever the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) appointed someone as commander of an army or a detachment, he would advise him to fear Allah and to treat the Muslims well. Then he would say: "Go on campaign in the name of Allah, strive in the path of Allah, and fight those who disbelieve in Allah. Go on campaign! Do not misappropriate (the spoils), do not betray, do not mutilate, and do not kill a child."

Hayyaj bin Imran al-Burjumi says: My father's slave ran away. He vowed: If I catch him, I will cut off his hand. When the slave was caught, he sent me to ask Imran bin Husayn (may Allah be pleased with him), and he said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him): "He (peace and blessings be upon him) would encourage charity in his sermon and forbid 'al-muthlah' (mutilation)." He says: Then he sent me to Samurah (may Allah be pleased with him). He said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him): "He (peace and blessings be upon him) would urge charity and forbid 'al-muthlah' (mutilation)."
Imam al-Shafi'i (may Allah have mercy on him) says: If someone says that he (peace and blessings be upon him) cut off the hands and feet of those who drove off his milch camels and put out their eyes, (the answer is that) Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) and another man narrated this from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and both of them, or one of them, narrated in it that after that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did not deliver any sermon without ordering charity and forbidding 'al-muthlah' (mutilation).
Imam al-Bayhaqi (may Allah have mercy on him) says: Abdullah bin Umar and Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with them) narrated it, and this addition is in the hadith of Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him).

Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) says that people of the tribe of Uraynah came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). The climate did not suit them, so the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "If you wish, drink the milk and urine of the camels of charity." They did so and recovered. Then they killed the herdsmen, apostatised, and also took away the camels of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). When the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) learned of it, he had them pursued; when they were captured and brought, he (peace and blessings be upon him) had their hands and feet cut off, had hot iron rods passed over their eyes, and left them on the stony ground until they died.
(b) Abd al-Wahhab narrates from Humayd (that he said): I do not remember whether "drink their urine" is mentioned or not.

Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) (a report) with the same meaning as the hadith of Humayd, (except) that it was a group from the tribe of Ukl; after that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) "forbade mutilation."

Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates this hadith, and in it there is the addition that after that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade "mutilation."

Qatadah narrates from Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) that a group from Ukl and Uraynah (and he mentioned the hadith). Qatadah says: The report reached us from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) that after that he (peace and blessings be upon him) "would urge charity and forbid mutilation."
Imam al-Shafi'i (may Allah have mercy on him) says: Ali bin Husayn used to reject the hadith of Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) about the people of the milch camels.

Ja'far (may Allah have mercy on him) narrates from his father, and he from Ali bin Husayn (may Allah have mercy on him), (that he said): By Allah! The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) did not pass needles over (anyone's) eyes; he only cut off hands and feet.
The Shaykh says: The narrations of Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) and Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) are authentic and established, and in them it is stated that he (peace and blessings be upon him) passed needles over their eyes, so what is gained by someone's rejection? The better course is to take it as abrogated.

Qatadah narrates from Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that a group from the tribe of Uraynah came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). Qatadah says: Ibn Sirin says that this was before the prescribed punishments (hudud) were revealed.
(b) Hisham narrates from Qatadah that they had done to the herdsmen what he (peace and blessings be upon him) did to the group of Uraynah.

Sulayman al-Taymi narrates from Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) passed needles over their eyes, because they had passed needles over the eyes of the herdsmen.

Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) says that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) mutilated them only because they had mutilated the herdsmen.
