Kurz ibn Jabir's detachment against the men of Bajila who killed Yasar
سرية كرز بن جابر لقتل البجليين الذين قتلوا يساراً
c. 627 CE · c. 6 AH
Ibn Hisham tells it from a scholar, from Muhammad ibn Talha, from Uthman ibn Abd al-Rahman: in the raid on Muharib and Banu Tha'laba the Prophet ﷺ acquired a slave named Yasar and put him in charge of his milch-camels grazing near al-Jamma'; a party of Qays Kubba of Bajila came to Medina, fell sick and their spleens swelled, so the Prophet told them to go out to the camels and drink their milk and urine; when they recovered they attacked Yasar, slaughtered him, drove thorns into his eyes and drove off the camels. The Prophet sent Kurz ibn Jabir after them; he caught them and brought them to the Prophet on his return from the Dhu Qarad raid, and he cut off their hands and feet and put out their eyes.

خبر يرويه ابن هشام لا ابن إسحاق: «حدثني بعض أهل العلم عمن حدثه عن محمد بن طلحة عن عثمان بن عبد الرحمن». 1
يسار واللقاح
القتل والعقوبة
فلما صحّوا وانطوت بطونهم عدوا على راعي النبي يسار فذبحوه وغرزوا الشوك في عينيه واستاقوا اللقاح. 1 فبعث النبي في آثارهم كرز بن جابر فلحقهم، فأتى بهم النبي مرجعه من غزوة ذي قرد، فقطع أيديهم وأرجلهم وسمل أعينهم، أي فقأها. 1
في المتحف
الخبر يُقرأ في ثلاثة أبواب: الطب النبوي (ألبان الإبل وأبوالها لمرض الطحال)، وحكم المرتدّ المحارب، وحدود العقوبة البدنية؛ والمتحف يعرض الفعل والعقوبة كما رُويا ويُحيل الحكم إلى أهله. وقد وُضع في طبقة المراجعة الأولى لسمل الأعين. 1
