Sunan an-Nasai 4026 — A Supporting Report on the 'Ukl Incident

Summary of Sunan an-Nasai Hadith 4026

This brief hadith about the 'Ukl incident does not repeat every detail of the longer report. Instead, Anas says that eight men from 'Ukl came to the Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وسلم, and the narrator states that a similar account was mentioned up to the words that their wounds were not cauterized. The report also specifically adds that they killed the herdsman. Its value lies in confirming key parts of the event through another chain and shorter wording. The core topic remains the violent crime committed against the herdsman and the punishment recorded afterward. Because this version is abbreviated, readers should not add details beyond what it names or what “a similar report” clearly points to. According to Islamic scholars, such punishments belong to lawful authority and cannot be copied as private action.
