The tradition mentioned above has also been transmitted by Anas. B. Malik through a different chain of narrators. This version says : The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) sent some people who were experts in tracking in pursuit of them and they were brought (to him). Allah , the Exalted, then revealed the verse about it : “ The punishment of those who wage war against Allah and his Apostle and strive for mischief through the land”
