Sahl bin Abu Hathma and Rafi' bin Khadij reported 'Abdullah bin Sahl bin Zaid and Muhayyisa bin Mas'ud bin Zaid:
حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا لَيْثٌ، عَنْ يَحْيَى وَهُوَ ابْنُ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ بُشَيْرِ بْنِ يَسَارٍ، عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ أَبِي حَثْمَةَ، - قَالَ يَحْيَى وَحَسِبْتُ قَالَ - وَعَنْ رَافِعِ بْنِ خَدِيجٍ، أَنَّهُمَا قَالَا: خَرَجَ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ سَهْلِ بْنِ زَيْدٍ، وَمُحَيِّصَةُ بْنُ مَسْعُودِ بْنِ زَيْدٍ، حَتَّى إِذَا كَانَا بِخَيْبَرَ تَفَرَّقَا فِي بَعْضِ مَا هُنَالِكَ، ثُمَّ إِذَا مُحَيِّصَةُ يَجِدُ عَبْدَ اللهِ بْنَ سَهْلٍ قَتِيلًا فَدَفَنَهُ، ثُمَّ أَقْبَلَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ هُوَ وَحُوَيِّصَةُ بْنُ مَسْعُودٍ، وَعَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ سَهْلٍ، وَكَانَ أَصْغَرَ الْقَوْمِ، فَذَهَبَ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ لِيَتَكَلَّمَ قَبْلَ صَاحِبَيْهِ، فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «كَبِّرِ الْكُبْرَ فِي السِّنِّ»، فَصَمَتَ، فَتَكَلَّمَ صَاحِبَاهُ، وَتَكَلَّمَ مَعَهُمَا، فَذَكَرُوا لِرَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَقْتَلَ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ سَهْلٍ، فَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «أَتَحْلِفُونَ خَمْسِينَ يَمِينًا فَتَسْتَحِقُّونَ صَاحِبَكُمْ أَوْ قَاتِلَكُمْ»، قَالُوا: وَكَيْفَ نَحْلِفُ، وَلَمْ نَشْهَدْ؟ قَالَ: «فَتُبْرِئُكُمْ يَهُودُ بِخَمْسِينَ يَمِينًا»، قَالُوا: وَكَيْفَ نَقْبَلُ أَيْمَانَ قَوْمٍ كُفَّارٍ؟ فَلَمَّا رَأَى ذَلِكَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَعْطَى عَقْلَهُ.
He went out and as they reached Khaibar they were separated. Then Muhayyisa found 'Abdullah bin Sahl having been killed. He buried him, and then came to Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ). They were Huwayyisa bin Mas'ud and 'Abdul-Rahman bin Sahl, and he (the latter one) was the youngest of the people (those three who had come to seek an interview with the Holy Prophet) began to talk before his Companions (had spoken). Thereupon Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said: The eldest one (eldest in regard to age should speak). So he kept quiet, and his companions (Muhayyisa and Huwayyisa) began to speak, and he ('Abdul Rahman) spoke along with them and they narrated to Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) the murder of 'Abdullah bin Sahl. Thereupon he said to them: Are you prepared to take fifty oaths so that you may be entitled (to blood-wit) of your companion (or your man who has murdered)? They said: How can we take an oath on a matter which we have not witnessed? He (the Holy Prophet) said: Then the Jews will exonerate themselves by fifty oaths. They said: How can we accept the oaths of people who are unbelievers? When Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) saw that, he himself paid his blood-wit.

Sahl bin Abu Hathma and Rafi' bin Khadij reported:
وحَدَّثَنِي عُبَيْدُ اللهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ الْقَوَارِيرِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ بُشَيْرِ بْنِ يَسَارٍ، عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ أَبِي حَثْمَةَ، وَرَافِعِ بْنِ خَدِيجٍ، أَنَّ مُحَيِّصَةَ بْنَ مَسْعُودٍ، وَعَبْدَ اللهِ بْنَ سَهْلٍ، انْطَلَقَا قِبَلَ خَيْبَرَ، فَتَفَرَّقَا فِي النَّخْلِ، فَقُتِلَ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ سَهْلٍ، فَاتَّهَمُوا الْيَهُودَ، فَجَاءَ أَخُوهُ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ، وَابْنَا عَمِّهِ حُوَيِّصَةُ، وَمُحَيِّصَةُ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَتَكَلَّمَ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ فِي أَمْرِ أَخِيهِ، وَهُوَ أَصْغَرُ مِنْهُمْ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «كَبِّرِ الْكُبْرَ»، أَوْ قَالَ: «لِيَبْدَأِ الْأَكْبَرُ»، فَتَكَلَّمَا فِي أَمْرِ صَاحِبِهِمَا، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «يَقْسِمُ خَمْسُونَ مِنْكُمْ عَلَى رَجُلٍ مِنْهُمْ، فَيُدْفَعُ بِرُمَّتِهِ»، قَالُوا: أَمْرٌ لَمْ نَشْهَدْهُ، كَيْفَ نَحْلِفُ؟ قَالَ: «فَتُبْرِئُكُمْ يَهُودُ بِأَيْمَانِ خَمْسِينَ مِنْهُمْ»، قَالُوا: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، قَوْمٌ كُفَّارٌ؟ قَالَ: فَوَدَاهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مِنْ قِبَلِهِ، قَالَ سَهْلٌ: فَدَخَلْتُ مِرْبَدًا لَهُمْ يَوْمًا فَرَكَضَتْنِي نَاقَةٌ مِنْ تِلْكَ الْإِبِلِ رَكْضَةً بِرِجْلِهَا، قَالَ حَمَّادٌ: هَذَا أَوْ نَحْوَهُ.
Muhayyisa bin Mas'ud and 'Abdullah bin Sahl went towards Khaibar and they separated near the palm-trees. 'Abdullah bin Sahl was killed. They accused the Jews (for this act). And there came to Allah's Apostle ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) his brother (the brother of the slain person) 'Abdul-Rahman and his cousins Huwayyisa and Muhayyisa; and 'Abdul-Rahman talked to him about the matter pertaining to (the murder of) his brother, and he was the youngest among them. Thereupon Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said: Show regard for the greatness of the old, or he said: Let the eldest begin speaking. Then they (Huwayyisa and Muhayyisa) spoke about the matter of their companion (murder of their cousin, 'Abdullah bin Sahl). Thereupon Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said: Let fifty (persons) among you take oath for levelling the charge (of murder) against a person amongst them, and he would be surrendered to you. They said: We have not witnessed this matter ourselves. How can we then take oath? He (the Holy Prophet ﷺ) said: The Jews will exonerate themselves by the oaths of fifty of them. They said: Messenger of Allah ﷺ, they are non-believing people. Thereupon Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) paid the blood wit for him. Sahl said: As one day I entered the fold a she-camel amongst those camels hit me with its leg.

A similar report (as no. 4343) was narrated from Sahl bin Abu Hathma from the prophet ﷺ and in his Hadith he said:
وحَدَّثَنَا الْقَوَارِيرِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا بِشْرُ بْنُ الْمُفَضَّلِ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ بُشَيْرِ بْنِ يَسَارٍ، عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ أَبِي حَثْمَةَ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ نَحْوَهُ، وَقَالَ فِي حَدِيثِهِ: فَعَقَلَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مِنْ عِنْدِهِ، وَلَمْ يَقُلْ فِي حَدِيثِهِ: فَرَكَضَتْنِي نَاقَةٌ.

'Abdullah bin Sahl bin Zaid and Muhayyisa bin Mas'ud bin Zaid, both of them were Ansar belonging to the tribe of Banu Haritha, set out to Khaibar during the lifetime of Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ). There was peace during those days and (this place) was inhabited by the Jews. They parted company for their (respective) needs. 'Abdullab bin Sahl was killed, and his dead body was found in a tank. His companion (Muhayyisa) buried him and came to Medina, and the brothers of the slain 'Abd al-Rahman bin Sahl. and Muhayyisa and Huwayyisa told Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) the case of 'Abdullah and the place where he had been murdered. Bushair reported on the authority of one who had seen Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) that he had said to them: You take fifty oaths and you are entitled to blood-wit of (one) slain among you (or your companion). They said: Messenger of Allah, we neither saw (with our own eyes this murder) nor were we present there. Thereupon (Allah's Messenger is reported to have said): Then the Jews will exonerate themselves by taking fifty oaths. They said: Allah's Messenger, how can we accept the oath of unbelieving people? Bushair said that Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) paid the blood-wit himself.

حَدَّثَنِي إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ، أَخْبَرَنَا بِشْرُ بْنُ عُمَرَ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ مَالِكَ بْنَ أَنَسٍ، يَقُولُ: حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو لَيْلَى عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ سَهْلٍ، عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ أَبِي حَثْمَةَ، أَنَّهُ أَخْبَرَهُ عَنْ رِجَالٍ مِنْ كُبَرَاءِ قَوْمِهِ، أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللهِ بْنَ سَهْلٍ، وَمُحَيِّصَةَ، خَرَجَا إِلَى خَيْبَرَ مِنْ جَهْدٍ أَصَابَهُمْ، فَأَتَى مُحَيِّصَةُ، فَأَخْبَرَ أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللهِ بْنَ سَهْلٍ قَدْ قُتِلَ وَطُرِحَ فِي عَيْنٍ - أَوْ فَقِيرٍ - فَأَتَى يَهُودَ، فَقَالَ: أَنْتُمْ وَاللهِ قَتَلْتُمُوهُ، قَالُوا: وَاللهِ مَا قَتَلْنَاهُ، ثُمَّ أَقْبَلَ حَتَّى قَدِمَ عَلَى قَوْمِهِ، فَذَكَرَ لَهُمْ ذَلِكَ، ثُمَّ أَقْبَلَ هُوَ وَأَخُوهُ حُوَيِّصَةُ وَهُوَ أَكْبَرُ مِنْهُ وَعَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ سَهْلٍ، فَذَهَبَ مُحَيِّصَةُ لِيَتَكَلَّمَ وَهُوَ الَّذِي كَانَ بِخَيْبَرَ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لِمُحَيِّصَةَ: «كَبِّرْ كَبِّرْ»، يُرِيدُ السِّنَّ، فَتَكَلَّمَ حُوَيِّصَةُ، ثُمَّ تَكَلَّمَ مُحَيِّصَةُ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «إِمَّا أَنْ يَدُوا صَاحِبَكُمْ، وَإِمَّا أَنْ يُؤْذِنُوا بِحَرْبٍ»، فَكَتَبَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِلَيْهِمْ فِي ذَلِكَ، فَكَتَبُوا إِنَّا وَاللهِ مَا قَتَلْنَاهُ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لِحُوَيِّصَةَ، وَمُحَيِّصَةَ، وَعَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ: «أَتَحْلِفُونَ وَتَسْتَحِقُّونَ دَمَ صَاحِبِكُمْ؟» قَالُوا: لَا، قَالَ: «فَتَحْلِفُ لَكُمْ يَهُودُ»، قَالُوا: لَيْسُوا بِمُسْلِمِينَ، فَوَادَاهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مِنْ عِنْدِهِ، فَبَعَثَ إِلَيْهِمْ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مِائَةَ نَاقَةٍ حَتَّى أُدْخِلَتْ عَلَيْهِمِ الدَّارَ، فَقَالَ سَهْلٌ: فَلَقَدْ رَكَضَتْنِي مِنْهَا نَاقَةٌ حَمْرَاءُ.
The elderly persons of (the tribe) had informed Sahl bin Abu Hathma that 'Abdullah bin Sahl and Muhayyisa went out to Khaibar under some distress which had afflicted them. Muhayyisa came and informed that Abdutlah bin Sahl had been killed, and (his dead body) had been thrown in a well or in a ditch. He came to the Jews and said: By Allah, it is you who have killed him. They said: By Allah, we have not killed him. He then came to his people, and made mention of that to them. Then came he and his brother Huwayyisa, and he was older than he, and 'Abdul-Rahman bin Sahl. Then Muhayyisa went to speak, and it was he who had accompanied ('Abdullah) to Khaibar, whereupon Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said to Muhayyisa: Observe greatness of the great (he meant the seniority of age). Then Huwayyisa spoke and then Muhayyisa also spoke. Thereupon Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said: They should either pay blood-wit for your companion, or be prepared for war. Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) wrote about it to them (to the Jews). They wrote: Verily, by Allah, we have not killed him. Thereupon Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said to Huwayyisa and Muhayyisa and Abdul-Rahman: Are you prepared to take oath in order to entitle yourselves for the blood-wit of your companion? They said: No. He (the Holy Prophet ﷺ) said: Then the Jews will take oath (of their innocence). They said: They are not Muslims. Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ), however, himself paid the blood-wit to them and sent to them one hundred camels until they entered into their houses, Sahl said: One red she-camel among them kicked me.

Sahl bin Abu Hathma and Rafi' bin Khadij reported 'Abdullah bin Sahl bin Zaid and Muhayyisa bin Mas'ud bin Zaid:
حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا لَيْثٌ، عَنْ يَحْيَى وَهُوَ ابْنُ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ بُشَيْرِ بْنِ يَسَارٍ، عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ أَبِي حَثْمَةَ، - قَالَ يَحْيَى وَحَسِبْتُ قَالَ - وَعَنْ رَافِعِ بْنِ خَدِيجٍ، أَنَّهُمَا قَالَا: خَرَجَ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ سَهْلِ بْنِ زَيْدٍ، وَمُحَيِّصَةُ بْنُ مَسْعُودِ بْنِ زَيْدٍ، حَتَّى إِذَا كَانَا بِخَيْبَرَ تَفَرَّقَا فِي بَعْضِ مَا هُنَالِكَ، ثُمَّ إِذَا مُحَيِّصَةُ يَجِدُ عَبْدَ اللهِ بْنَ سَهْلٍ قَتِيلًا فَدَفَنَهُ، ثُمَّ أَقْبَلَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ هُوَ وَحُوَيِّصَةُ بْنُ مَسْعُودٍ، وَعَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ سَهْلٍ، وَكَانَ أَصْغَرَ الْقَوْمِ، فَذَهَبَ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ لِيَتَكَلَّمَ قَبْلَ صَاحِبَيْهِ، فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «كَبِّرِ الْكُبْرَ فِي السِّنِّ»، فَصَمَتَ، فَتَكَلَّمَ صَاحِبَاهُ، وَتَكَلَّمَ مَعَهُمَا، فَذَكَرُوا لِرَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَقْتَلَ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ سَهْلٍ، فَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «أَتَحْلِفُونَ خَمْسِينَ يَمِينًا فَتَسْتَحِقُّونَ صَاحِبَكُمْ أَوْ قَاتِلَكُمْ»، قَالُوا: وَكَيْفَ نَحْلِفُ، وَلَمْ نَشْهَدْ؟ قَالَ: «فَتُبْرِئُكُمْ يَهُودُ بِخَمْسِينَ يَمِينًا»، قَالُوا: وَكَيْفَ نَقْبَلُ أَيْمَانَ قَوْمٍ كُفَّارٍ؟ فَلَمَّا رَأَى ذَلِكَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَعْطَى عَقْلَهُ.
He went out and as they reached Khaibar they were separated. Then Muhayyisa found 'Abdullah bin Sahl having been killed. He buried him, and then came to Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ). They were Huwayyisa bin Mas'ud and 'Abdul-Rahman bin Sahl, and he (the latter one) was the youngest of the people (those three who had come to seek an interview with the Holy Prophet) began to talk before his Companions (had spoken). Thereupon Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said: The eldest one (eldest in regard to age should speak). So he kept quiet, and his companions (Muhayyisa and Huwayyisa) began to speak, and he ('Abdul Rahman) spoke along with them and they narrated to Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) the murder of 'Abdullah bin Sahl. Thereupon he said to them: Are you prepared to take fifty oaths so that you may be entitled (to blood-wit) of your companion (or your man who has murdered)? They said: How can we take an oath on a matter which we have not witnessed? He (the Holy Prophet) said: Then the Jews will exonerate themselves by fifty oaths. They said: How can we accept the oaths of people who are unbelievers? When Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) saw that, he himself paid his blood-wit.

وحَدَّثَنِي عُبَيْدُ اللهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ الْقَوَارِيرِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ بُشَيْرِ بْنِ يَسَارٍ، عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ أَبِي حَثْمَةَ، وَرَافِعِ بْنِ خَدِيجٍ، أَنَّ مُحَيِّصَةَ بْنَ مَسْعُودٍ، وَعَبْدَ اللهِ بْنَ سَهْلٍ، انْطَلَقَا قِبَلَ خَيْبَرَ، فَتَفَرَّقَا فِي النَّخْلِ، فَقُتِلَ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ سَهْلٍ، فَاتَّهَمُوا الْيَهُودَ، فَجَاءَ أَخُوهُ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ، وَابْنَا عَمِّهِ حُوَيِّصَةُ، وَمُحَيِّصَةُ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَتَكَلَّمَ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ فِي أَمْرِ أَخِيهِ، وَهُوَ أَصْغَرُ مِنْهُمْ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «كَبِّرِ الْكُبْرَ»، أَوْ قَالَ: «لِيَبْدَأِ الْأَكْبَرُ»، فَتَكَلَّمَا فِي أَمْرِ صَاحِبِهِمَا، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «يَقْسِمُ خَمْسُونَ مِنْكُمْ عَلَى رَجُلٍ مِنْهُمْ، فَيُدْفَعُ بِرُمَّتِهِ»، قَالُوا: أَمْرٌ لَمْ نَشْهَدْهُ، كَيْفَ نَحْلِفُ؟ قَالَ: «فَتُبْرِئُكُمْ يَهُودُ بِأَيْمَانِ خَمْسِينَ مِنْهُمْ»، قَالُوا: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، قَوْمٌ كُفَّارٌ؟ قَالَ: فَوَدَاهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مِنْ قِبَلِهِ، قَالَ سَهْلٌ: فَدَخَلْتُ مِرْبَدًا لَهُمْ يَوْمًا فَرَكَضَتْنِي نَاقَةٌ مِنْ تِلْكَ الْإِبِلِ رَكْضَةً بِرِجْلِهَا، قَالَ حَمَّادٌ: هَذَا أَوْ نَحْوَهُ.
Muhayyisa bin Mas'ud and 'Abdullah bin Sahl went towards Khaibar and they separated near the palm-trees. 'Abdullah bin Sahl was killed. They accused the Jews (for this act). And there came to Allah's Apostle ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) his brother (the brother of the slain person) 'Abdul-Rahman and his cousins Huwayyisa and Muhayyisa; and 'Abdul-Rahman talked to him about the matter pertaining to (the murder of) his brother, and he was the youngest among them. Thereupon Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said: Show regard for the greatness of the old, or he said: Let the eldest begin speaking. Then they (Huwayyisa and Muhayyisa) spoke about the matter of their companion (murder of their cousin, 'Abdullah bin Sahl). Thereupon Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said: Let fifty (persons) among you take oath for levelling the charge (of murder) against a person amongst them, and he would be surrendered to you. They said: We have not witnessed this matter ourselves. How can we then take oath? He (the Holy Prophet ﷺ) said: The Jews will exonerate themselves by the oaths of fifty of them. They said: Messenger of Allah ﷺ, they are non-believing people. Thereupon Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) paid the blood wit for him. Sahl said: As one day I entered the fold a she-camel amongst those camels hit me with its leg.

'Abdullah bin Sahl bin Zaid and Muhayyisa bin Mas'ud bin Zaid, both of them were Ansar belonging to the tribe of Banu Haritha, set out to Khaibar during the lifetime of Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ). There was peace during those days and (this place) was inhabited by the Jews. They parted company for their (respective) needs. 'Abdullab bin Sahl was killed, and his dead body was found in a tank. His companion (Muhayyisa) buried him and came to Medina, and the brothers of the slain 'Abd al-Rahman bin Sahl. and Muhayyisa and Huwayyisa told Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) the case of 'Abdullah and the place where he had been murdered. Bushair reported on the authority of one who had seen Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) that he had said to them: You take fifty oaths and you are entitled to blood-wit of (one) slain among you (or your companion). They said: Messenger of Allah, we neither saw (with our own eyes this murder) nor were we present there. Thereupon (Allah's Messenger is reported to have said): Then the Jews will exonerate themselves by taking fifty oaths. They said: Allah's Messenger, how can we accept the oath of unbelieving people? Bushair said that Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) paid the blood-wit himself.

حَدَّثَنِي إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ، أَخْبَرَنَا بِشْرُ بْنُ عُمَرَ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ مَالِكَ بْنَ أَنَسٍ، يَقُولُ: حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو لَيْلَى عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ سَهْلٍ، عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ أَبِي حَثْمَةَ، أَنَّهُ أَخْبَرَهُ عَنْ رِجَالٍ مِنْ كُبَرَاءِ قَوْمِهِ، أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللهِ بْنَ سَهْلٍ، وَمُحَيِّصَةَ، خَرَجَا إِلَى خَيْبَرَ مِنْ جَهْدٍ أَصَابَهُمْ، فَأَتَى مُحَيِّصَةُ، فَأَخْبَرَ أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللهِ بْنَ سَهْلٍ قَدْ قُتِلَ وَطُرِحَ فِي عَيْنٍ - أَوْ فَقِيرٍ - فَأَتَى يَهُودَ، فَقَالَ: أَنْتُمْ وَاللهِ قَتَلْتُمُوهُ، قَالُوا: وَاللهِ مَا قَتَلْنَاهُ، ثُمَّ أَقْبَلَ حَتَّى قَدِمَ عَلَى قَوْمِهِ، فَذَكَرَ لَهُمْ ذَلِكَ، ثُمَّ أَقْبَلَ هُوَ وَأَخُوهُ حُوَيِّصَةُ وَهُوَ أَكْبَرُ مِنْهُ وَعَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ سَهْلٍ، فَذَهَبَ مُحَيِّصَةُ لِيَتَكَلَّمَ وَهُوَ الَّذِي كَانَ بِخَيْبَرَ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لِمُحَيِّصَةَ: «كَبِّرْ كَبِّرْ»، يُرِيدُ السِّنَّ، فَتَكَلَّمَ حُوَيِّصَةُ، ثُمَّ تَكَلَّمَ مُحَيِّصَةُ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «إِمَّا أَنْ يَدُوا صَاحِبَكُمْ، وَإِمَّا أَنْ يُؤْذِنُوا بِحَرْبٍ»، فَكَتَبَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِلَيْهِمْ فِي ذَلِكَ، فَكَتَبُوا إِنَّا وَاللهِ مَا قَتَلْنَاهُ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لِحُوَيِّصَةَ، وَمُحَيِّصَةَ، وَعَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ: «أَتَحْلِفُونَ وَتَسْتَحِقُّونَ دَمَ صَاحِبِكُمْ؟» قَالُوا: لَا، قَالَ: «فَتَحْلِفُ لَكُمْ يَهُودُ»، قَالُوا: لَيْسُوا بِمُسْلِمِينَ، فَوَادَاهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مِنْ عِنْدِهِ، فَبَعَثَ إِلَيْهِمْ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مِائَةَ نَاقَةٍ حَتَّى أُدْخِلَتْ عَلَيْهِمِ الدَّارَ، فَقَالَ سَهْلٌ: فَلَقَدْ رَكَضَتْنِي مِنْهَا نَاقَةٌ حَمْرَاءُ.
The elderly persons of (the tribe) had informed Sahl bin Abu Hathma that 'Abdullah bin Sahl and Muhayyisa went out to Khaibar under some distress which had afflicted them. Muhayyisa came and informed that Abdutlah bin Sahl had been killed, and (his dead body) had been thrown in a well or in a ditch. He came to the Jews and said: By Allah, it is you who have killed him. They said: By Allah, we have not killed him. He then came to his people, and made mention of that to them. Then came he and his brother Huwayyisa, and he was older than he, and 'Abdul-Rahman bin Sahl. Then Muhayyisa went to speak, and it was he who had accompanied ('Abdullah) to Khaibar, whereupon Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said to Muhayyisa: Observe greatness of the great (he meant the seniority of age). Then Huwayyisa spoke and then Muhayyisa also spoke. Thereupon Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said: They should either pay blood-wit for your companion, or be prepared for war. Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) wrote about it to them (to the Jews). They wrote: Verily, by Allah, we have not killed him. Thereupon Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said to Huwayyisa and Muhayyisa and Abdul-Rahman: Are you prepared to take oath in order to entitle yourselves for the blood-wit of your companion? They said: No. He (the Holy Prophet ﷺ) said: Then the Jews will take oath (of their innocence). They said: They are not Muslims. Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ), however, himself paid the blood-wit to them and sent to them one hundred camels until they entered into their houses, Sahl said: One red she-camel among them kicked me.

He went out and as they reached Khaibar they were separated. Then Muhayyisa found 'Abdullah bin Sahl having been killed. He buried him, and then came to Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ). They were Huwayyisa bin Mas'ud and 'Abdul-Rahman bin Sahl, and he (the latter one) was the youngest of the people (those three who had come to seek an interview with the Holy Prophet) began to talk before his Companions (had spoken). Thereupon Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said: The eldest one (eldest in regard to age should speak). So he kept quiet, and his companions (Muhayyisa and Huwayyisa) began to speak, and he ('Abdul Rahman) spoke along with them and they narrated to Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) the murder of 'Abdullah bin Sahl. Thereupon he said to them: Are you prepared to take fifty oaths so that you may be entitled (to blood-wit) of your companion (or your man who has murdered)? They said: How can we take an oath on a matter which we have not witnessed? He (the Holy Prophet) said: Then the Jews will exonerate themselves by fifty oaths. They said: How can we accept the oaths of people who are unbelievers? When Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) saw that, he himself paid his blood-wit.
