`UKL
- Muhammad and some people of `Ukl
    Some people came and fell sick. Muhammad gave them permission to use
    the camels milk and urine as medicine and they became well. After that,
    they killed the shepherd and killed the camels, and after being caught,
    Muhammad had them tortured till they died.
    
    Narrated Anas: 
 A group of people from 'Ukl (tribe) came to the Prophet and they 
    were living with the people of As-Suffa, but they became ill as 
    the climate of Medina did not suit them, so they said, "O Allah's
    Apostle! Provide us with milk." The Prophet said, I see no other
    way for you than to use the camels of Allah's Apostle." So they went
    and drank the milk and urine of the camels, (as medicine) and became
    healthy and fat. Then they killed the shepherd and took the camels
    away. When a help-seeker came to Allah's Apostle, he sent some men 
    in their pursuit, and they were captured and brought before mid day. 
    The Prophet ordered for some iron pieces to be made red hot, and 
    their eyes were branded with them and their hands and feet were cut 
    off and were not cauterized.  Then they were put at a place called 
    Al-Harra, and when they asked for water to drink they were not given 
    till they died. (Abu Qilaba said, "Those people committed theft and 
    murder and fought against Allah and His Apostle.")
