ʿAbdullah bin Sahl and Muhaiyisa bin Masʿud went to Khaibar and they dispersed in the gardens of the date-palm trees. ʿAbdullah bin Sahl was murdered. Then ʿAbdur-Rahman bin Sahl, Huwaiyisa and Muhaiyisa, the two sons of Masʿud, came to the Prophet ﷺ and spoke about the case of their (murdered) friend. ʿAbdur-Rahman who was the youngest of them all, started talking. The Prophet ﷺ said, "Let the older (among you) speak first." So they spoke about the case of their (murdered) friend. The Prophet ﷺ said, "Will fifty of you take an oath whereby you will have the right to receive the blood money of your murdered man," (or said, "..your companion"). They said, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! The murder was a thing we did not witness." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Then the Jews will release you from the oath, if fifty of them (the Jews) should take an oath to contradict your claim." They said, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! They are disbelievers (and they will take a false oath)." Then Messenger of Allah ﷺ himself paid the blood money to them.

Sahl bin Abi Hathma and some great men of his tribe said, ʿAbdullah bin 'Sahl and Muhaiyisa went out to Khaibar as they were struck with poverty and difficult living conditions. Then Muhaiyisa was informed that ʿAbdullah had been killed and thrown in a pit or a spring. Muhaiyisa went to the Jews and said, "By Allah, you have killed my companion." The Jews said, "By Allah, we have not killed him." Muhaiyisa then came back to his people and told them the story. He, his elder brother Huwaiyisa and ʿAbdur-Rahman bin Sahl came (to the Prophet) and he who had been at Khaibar, proceeded to speak, but the Prophet ﷺ said to Muhaiyisa, "The eldest! The eldest!" meaning, "Let the eldest of you speak." So Huwaiyisa spoke first and then Muhaiyisa. Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "The Jews should either pay the blood money of your (deceased) companion or be ready for war." After that Messenger of Allah ﷺ wrote a letter to the Jews in that respect, and they wrote that they had not killed him. Then Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to Huwaiyisa, Muhaiyisa and ʿAbdur-Rahman, "Can you take an oath by which you will be entitled to take the blood money?" They said, "No." He said (to them), "Shall we ask the Jews to take an oath before you?" They replied, "But the Jews are not Muslims." So Allah's Apostle gave them one-hundred she-camels as blood money from himself. Sahl added: When those she-camels were made to enter the house, one of them kicked me with its leg.  

أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ قُتِلَ وَطُرِحَ فِي فَقِيرٍ أَوْ عَيْنٍ فَأَتَى يَهُودَ فَقَالَ أَنْتُمْ وَاللَّهِ قَتَلْتُمُوهُ قَالُوا مَا قَتَلْنَاهُ وَاللَّهِ ثُمَّ أَقْبَلَ حَتَّى قَدِمَ عَلَى قَوْمِهِ فَذَكَرَ لَهُمْ وَأَقْبَلَ هُوَ وَأَخُوهُ حُوَيِّصَةُ وَهْوَ أَكْبَرُ مِنْهُ وَعَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ سَهْلٍ فَذَهَبَ لِيَتَكَلَّمَ وَهْوَ الَّذِي كَانَ بِخَيْبَرَ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ لِمُحَيِّصَةَ كَبِّرْ كَبِّرْ يُرِيدُ السِّنَّ فَتَكَلَّمَ حُوَيِّصَةُ ثُمَّ تَكَلَّمَ مُحَيِّصَةُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِمَّا أَنْ يَدُوا صَاحِبَكُمْ وَإِمَّا أَنْ يُؤْذِنُوا بِحَرْبٍ فَكَتَبَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِلَيْهِمْ بِهِ فَكُتِبَ مَا قَتَلْنَاهُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ لِحُوَيِّصَةَ وَمُحَيِّصَةَ وَعَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ أَتَحْلِفُونَ وَتَسْتَحِقُّونَ دَمَ صَاحِبِكُمْ قَالُوا لاَ قَالَ أَفَتَحْلِفُ لَكُمْ يَهُودُ قَالُوا لَيْسُوا بِمُسْلِمِينَ فَوَدَاهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ مِنْ عِنْدِهِ مِائَةَ نَاقَةٍ حَتَّى أُدْخِلَتِ الدَّارَ قَالَ سَهْلٌ فَرَكَضَتْنِي مِنْهَا نَاقَةٌ  

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 b. Sahl). Thereupon Messenger of Allah ﷺ 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) said: The Jews will exonerate themselves by the oaths of fifty of them. They said: Messenger of Allah, they are non-believing people. Thereupon Messenger of Allah ﷺ 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.  

أَنَّ مُحَيِّصَةَ بْنَ مَسْعُودٍ وَعَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ سَهْلٍ انْطَلَقَا قِبَلَ خَيْبَرَ فَتَفَرَّقَا فِي النَّخْلِ فَقُتِلَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ سَهْلٍ فَاتَّهَمُوا الْيَهُودَ فَجَاءَ أَخُوهُ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ وَابْنَا عَمِّهِ حُوَيِّصَةُ وَمُحَيِّصَةُ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَتَكَلَّمَ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ فِي أَمْرِ أَخِيهِ وَهُوَ أَصْغَرُ مِنْهُمْ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ كَبِّرِ الْكُبْرَ أَوْ قَالَ لِيَبْدَإِ الأَكْبَرُ فَتَكَلَّمَا فِي أَمْرِ صَاحِبِهِمَا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يُقْسِمُ خَمْسُونَ مِنْكُمْ عَلَى رَجُلٍ مِنْهُمْ فَيُدْفَعُ بِرُمَّتِهِ قَالُوا أَمْرٌ لَمْ نَشْهَدْهُ كَيْفَ نَحْلِفُ قَالَ فَتُبْرِئُكُمْ يَهُودُ بِأَيْمَانِ خَمْسِينَ مِنْهُمْ قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَوْمٌ كُفَّارٌ قَالَ فَوَدَاهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ مِنْ قِبَلِهِ قَالَ سَهْلٌ فَدَخَلْتُ مِرْبَدًا لَهُمْ يَوْمًا فَرَكَضَتْنِي نَاقَةٌ مِنْ تِلْكَ الإِبِلِ رَكْضَةً بِرِجْلِهَا قَالَ حَمَّادٌ هَذَا أَوْ نَحْوَهُ  

'Abdullah bin Sahl and Muhayysah set out for Khaibar because of some problem that had arisen. Someone came to Muhayysah and he told him that 'Abdullah bin Sahl had been Killed and thrown into a pit, or a well. He came to the Jews and said: "By Allah, you killed him. " They said: "By Allah, we did not kill him."Then he went back to the Messenger of Allah and told him about that. Then he and Huwayysah - his brother who was older than him - and 'Abdur-Rahman bin Sahl, came (to the Prophet). Muhayysah, who was the one who had been at Khaibar, began to speak, but the messenger of Allah said: "Let the elder speak first," So Huwayysah elder speaks first." So Huwayysah spoke, then Muhayysah spoke. The Messenger of Allah said: "Either (the Jews) will pay the Diyah for your comanion, or war will be declared on them." The Messenger of Allah sent a letter to that effect (to the Jews) and they wrote back saying: "By Allah, we did not kill him." The Messenger of Allah said to Huwayysah. Muhayysah and 'Abdur-Rahman: "Will you swear an oath establishing your claim to the blood money of your companion?" They said: "No." He said: "Should the jews swear an oath for you? They said: "They are not Muslims." So the Messenger of Allah paid (the Diyah) himself, and he sent one hundred she-camels to their abodes. Sahl said: "A red she-camel from among them kicked me."  

أَنْتُمْ وَاللَّهِ قَتَلْتُمُوهُ فَقَالُوا وَاللَّهِ مَا قَتَلْنَاهُ ثُمَّ أَقْبَلَ حَتَّى قَدِمَ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَذَكَرَ ذَلِكَ لَهُ ثُمَّ أَقْبَلَ هُوَ وَحُوَيِّصَةُ وَهُوَ أَخُوهُ أَكْبَرُ مِنْهُ وَعَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ سَهْلٍ فَذَهَبَ مُحَيِّصَةُ لِيَتَكَلَّمَ وَهُوَ الَّذِي كَانَ بِخَيْبَرَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ كَبِّرْ كَبِّرْ وَتَكَلَّمَ حُوَيِّصَةُ ثُمَّ تَكَلَّمَ مُحَيِّصَةُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِمَّا أَنْ يَدُوا صَاحِبَكُمْ وَإِمَّا أَنْ يُؤْذَنُوا بِحَرْبٍ فَكَتَبَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فِي ذَلِكَ فَكَتَبُوا إِنَّا وَاللَّهِ مَا قَتَلْنَاهُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ لِحُوَيِّصَةَ وَمُحَيِّصَةَ وَعَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ تَحْلِفُونَ وَتَسْتَحِقُّونَ دَمَ صَاحِبِكُمْ قَالُوا لاَ قَالَ فَتَحْلِفُ لَكُمْ يَهُودُ قَالُوا لَيْسُوا مُسْلِمِينَ فَوَدَاهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ مِنْ عِنْدِهِ فَبَعَثَ إِلَيْهِمْ بِمِائَةِ نَاقَةٍ حَتَّى أُدْخِلَتْ عَلَيْهِمُ الدَّارَ قَالَ سَهْلٌ لَقَدْ رَكَضَتْنِي مِنْهَا نَاقَةٌ حَمْرَاءُ

'Abdullah bin Sahl was killed, and 'Abdullah bin Sahl was killed, and his brother 'Abdur-Rahman bin Shl, and Huwayysah, and Musayysah, his paternal cousins, came to the Messenger of Allah.

'Abdullah bin Sahl Al-Ansari and Muhayysah bin Mas'ud went out to Khaibar, where they went their separate ways to go about their business. 'Abdullah bin Sahl was killed, and Muhayysah came (to Madinah) and went with his brother Huwayysah and 'Abdur-Rahman bin Sahl to the Messenger of Allah. 'Abdur-Rahaman started to speak, because of his position as brother (of the slain man) but the Messenger of Allah said: "Let the elders speak first." So Huyysah and Muhayysah spoken, and told him about what happened to 'Abdullah bin Sahl. The Messenger of Allah said to them: "Will you sewer fifty oaths, then you will receive compensation or be entitled to retaliate?" (In his narration) Malik said: "Yahya said: 'Bushair said that the Messenger of Allah paid the blood money himself, but Sa'eed bin 'Ubaid At-Ta'l disagreed with them (in reporting that).''  

أَنَّهُ أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ سَهْلٍ الأَنْصَارِيَّ وَمُحَيِّصَةَ بْنَ مَسْعُودٍ خَرَجَا إِلَى خَيْبَرَ فَتَفَرَّقَا فِي حَوَائِجِهِمَا فَقُتِلَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ سَهْلٍ فَقَدِمَ مُحَيِّصَةُ فَأَتَى هُوَ وَأَخُوهُ حُوَيِّصَةُ وَعَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ سَهْلٍ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَذَهَبَ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ لِيَتَكَلَّمَ لِمَكَانِهِ مِنْ أَخِيهِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ كَبِّرْ كَبِّرْ فَتَكَلَّمَ حُوَيِّصَةُ وَمُحَيِّصَةُ فَذَكَرُوا شَأْنَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ سَهْلٍ فَقَالَ لَهُمْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَتَحْلِفُونَ خَمْسِينَ يَمِينًا وَتَسْتَحِقُّونَ دَمَ صَاحِبِكُمْ أَوْ قَاتِلِكُمْ قَالَ مَالِكٌ قَالَ يَحْيَى فَزَعَمَ بُشَيْرٌ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَدَاهُ مِنْ عِنْدِهِ خَالَفَهُمْ سَعِيدُ بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ الطَّائِيُّ  

Muhayyasah b. Mas'ud and 'Abd Allah b. Sahl came to Khaibar and parted (from each other) among palm trees. 'Abd Allah b. Sahl was killed. The Jews were blamed (for the murder). 'Abd al-Rahman b. Sahl and Huwayyasah and Muhayyasah, the sons of his uncle (Mas'ud) came to the Prophet ﷺ. 'Abd al-Rahman, who was the youngest, spoke about his brother, but the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to him: (Respect) the elder, (respect) the elder or he said: Let the eldest begin. They then spoke about their friend and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Fifty of you should take oaths regarding a man from them (the Jews) and he should be entrusted (to him) with his rope (in his neck). They said: It is a matter which we did not see. How can we take oaths ? He said: The Jews exonerate themselves by the oaths of fifty of them. They said: Messenger of Allah! they are a people who are infidels. So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ paid them bloodwit himself. Sahl said: Once I entered the resting place of their camels, and the she-camel struck me with her lef. Hammad said this or (something) similar to it. Abu Dawud said: Another version transmitted by Yahya b. Sa'id has: Would you swear fifty oaths and make you claim regarding your friend or your slain man ? Bishr, the transmitter, did mention blood. 'Abdah transmitted it from Yahya as transmitted by Hammad. Ibn 'Uyainah has also transmitted it from Yahya, and began with his words: The Jew will exonerate themselves by fifty oaths which they will swear. He did not mention the claim. Abu Dawud said: This is a misunderstanding on the part of Ibn 'Uyainah.  

أَنَّ مُحَيِّصَةَ بْنَ مَسْعُودٍ وَعَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ سَهْلٍ انْطَلَقَا قِبَلَ خَيْبَرَ فَتَفَرَّقَا فِي النَّخْلِ فَقُتِلَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ سَهْلٍ فَاتَّهَمُوا الْيَهُودَ فَجَاءَ أَخُوهُ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ سَهْلٍ وَابْنَا عَمِّهِ حُوَيِّصَةُ وَمُحَيِّصَةُ فَأَتَوُا النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَتَكَلَّمَ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ فِي أَمْرِ أَخِيهِ وَهُوَ أَصْغَرُهُمْ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ الْكُبْرَ الْكُبْرَ أَوْ قَالَ لِيَبْدَإِ الأَكْبَرُ فَتَكَلَّمَا فِي أَمْرِ صَاحِبِهِمَا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يُقْسِمُ خَمْسُونَ مِنْكُمْ عَلَى رَجُلٍ مِنْهُمْ فَيُدْفَعُ بِرُمَّتِهِ قَالُوا أَمْرٌ لَمْ نَشْهَدْهُ كَيْفَ نَحْلِفُ قَالَ فَتُبَرِّئُكُمْ يَهُودُ بِأَيْمَانِ خَمْسِينَ مِنْهُمْ قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَوْمٌ كُفَّارٌ قَالَ فَوَدَاهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ مِنْ قِبَلِهِ قَالَ قَالَ سَهْلٌ دَخَلْتُ مِرْبَدًا لَهُمْ يَوْمًا فَرَكَضَتْنِي نَاقَةٌ مِنْ تِلْكَ الإِبِلِ رَكْضَةً بِرِجْلِهَا قَالَ حَمَّادٌ هَذَا أَوْ نَحْوَهُ  

Yahya related to me from Malik from Abu Layla ibn Abdullah ibn Abd ar-Rahman ibn Sahl from Sahl ibn Abi Hathma that some of the great men of his people informed him that Abdullah ibn Sahl and Muhayyisa went out to Khaybar because extreme poverty had overtaken them. Muhayyisa returned and said that Abdullah ibn Sahl had been killed and thrown in a shallow well or spring. The jews came and he said, "By Allah! You have killed him." They said, "By Allah! We have not killed him!" Then he made for his people and mentioned that to them. Then he, his brother Huwayyisa, who was older than him, and Abd ar-Rahman, set out. Muhayyisa began to speak, as he had been at Khaybar. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to him, "The greater first, the greater first," meaning in age. So Huwayyisa spoke and then Muhayyisa spoke. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Either they pay your companion's blood-money or we will declare war against them." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ wrote that to them and they wrote, "By Allah, we did not kill him!" The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to Huwayyisa, Muhayyisa, and Abd ar-Rahman, "Do you swear and claim the blood of your companion?" They said, "No." He said, "Shall the jews swear to you?" They said, "But they are not muslims." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ gave blood-money from his own property, and sent them one hundred camels to their house. Sahl added, "A red camel among them kicked me."  

أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ سَهْلٍ وَمُحَيِّصَةَ خَرَجَا إِلَى خَيْبَرَ مِنْ جَهْدٍ أَصَابَهُمْ فَأُتِيَ مُحَيِّصَةُ فَأُخْبِرَ أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ سَهْلٍ قَدْ قُتِلَ وَطُرِحَ فِي فَقِيرِ بِئْرٍ أَوْ عَيْنٍ فَأَتَى يَهُودَ فَقَالَ أَنْتُمْ وَاللَّهِ قَتَلْتُمُوهُ فَقَالُوا وَاللَّهِ مَا قَتَلْنَاهُ فَأَقْبَلَ حَتَّى قَدِمَ عَلَى قَوْمِهِ فَذَكَرَ لَهُمْ ذَلِكَ ثُمَّ أَقْبَلَ هُوَ وَأَخُوهُ حُوَيِّصَةُ وَهُوَ أَكْبَرُ مِنْهُ وَعَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ فَذَهَبَ مُحَيِّصَةُ لِيَتَكَلَّمَ وَهُوَ الَّذِي كَانَ بِخَيْبَرَ فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ كَبِّرْ كَبِّرْ يُرِيدُ السِّنَّ فَتَكَلَّمَ حُوَيِّصَةُ ثُمَّ تَكَلَّمَ مُحَيِّصَةُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِمَّا أَنْ يَدُوا صَاحِبَكُمْ وَإِمَّا أَنْ يُؤْذِنُوا بِحَرْبٍ فَكَتَبَ إِلَيْهِمْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فِي ذَلِكَ فَكَتَبُوا إِنَّا وَاللَّهِ مَا قَتَلْنَاهُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ لِحُوَيِّصَةَ وَمُحَيِّصَةَ وَعَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ أَتَحْلِفُونَ وَتَسْتَحِقُّونَ دَمَ صَاحِبِكُمْ فَقَالُوا لاَ قَالَ أَفَتَحْلِفُ لَكُمْ يَهُودُ قَالُوا لَيْسُوا بِمُسْلِمِينَ فَوَدَاهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ مِنْ عِنْدِهِ فَبَعَثَ إِلَيْهِمْ بِمِائَةِ نَاقَةٍ حَتَّى أُدْخِلَتْ عَلَيْهِمُ الدَّارَ قَالَ سَهْلٌ لَقَدْ رَكَضَتْنِي مِنْهَا نَاقَةٌ حَمْرَاءُ  

[Machine] Then they came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , so his brother Abdullah ibn Sahl and his cousins Huyayy ibn Huwayyisa and Muhayyisa advanced before Abdullah ibn Rahman. Abdullah ibn Rahman was respected by the people and had a high status. Therefore, he approached first and spoke to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ before his cousins Huyayy ibn Huwayyisa and Muhayyisa. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "The eldest should speak first." So Abdullah ibn Rahman spoke first, and then Huyayy ibn Huwayyisa spoke, followed by Muhayyisa. They said, "O Messenger of Allah, our companion was killed and there is no enemy in Khaybar except the Jews." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "You accuse your killer and then swear upon him fifty oaths, and then you hand him over." They said, "O Messenger of Allah, we cannot swear oaths about something we did not witness." He said, "They will swear oaths for you fifty times and absolve themselves from the blood of your companion." They said, "O Messenger of Allah, we do not accept oaths of the Jews, as they are greater in disbelief than to swear oaths for a sin." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ became pleased and said to them, "I will give you a hundred camels from my own possessions." Sahla said, "By Allah, I will never forget the sacrifice of a red she-camel from that." And I was holding onto it.  

ثُمَّ قَدِمُوا عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَأَقْبَلَ أَخُوهُ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ سَهْلٍ وَابْنَا عَمِّهِ حُوَيِّصَةُ وَمُحَيِّصَةُ وَهُمَا كَانَا أَسَنَّ مِنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ وَكَانَ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ ذَا قَدَمِ الْقَوْمِوَصَاحِبَ الدَّمِ فَتَقَدَّمَ لِذَلِكَ فَكَلَّمَ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَبْلَ ابْنَيْ عَمِّهِ حُوَيِّصَةَ وَمُحَيِّصَةَ قَالَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ الْكِبَرَ الْكِبَرَ فَاسْتَأْخَرَ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ وَتَكَلَّمَ حُوَيِّصَةُ ثُمَّ تَكَلَّمَ مُحَيِّصَةُ ثُمَّ تَكَلَّمَ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ فَقَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ عُدِيَ عَلَى صَاحِبِنَا فَقُتِلَ وَلَيْسَ لَنَا بِخَيْبَرَ عَدُوٌّ إِلَّا يَهُودَ قَالَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ تُسَمُّونَ قَاتِلَكُمْ ثُمَّ تَحْلِفُونَ عَلَيْهِ خَمْسِينَ يَمِينًا ثُمَّ تُسْلِمُهُ قَالَ فَقَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ مَا كُنَّا لِنَحْلِفَ عَلَى مَا لَمْ نَشْهَدْ قَالَ فَيَحْلِفُونَ لَكُمْ خَمْسِينَ يَمِينًا وَيَبْرَءُونَ مِنْ دَمِ صَاحِبِكُمْ قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ مَا كُنَّا لِنَقْبَلَ أَيْمَانَ يَهُودَ مَا هُمْ فِيهِ مِنَ الْكُفْرِ أَعْظَمُ مِنْ أَنْ يَحْلِفُوا عَلَى إِثْمٍ قَالَ فَوَدَاهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مِنْ عِنْدِهِ مِائَةَ نَاقَةٍ قَالَ يَقُولُ سَهْلٌ فَوَاللهِ مَا أَنْسَى بَكْرَةً مِنْهَا حَمْرَاءَ رَكَضَتْنِي وَأَنَا أَحُوزُهَا  

[Machine] "Then, they went against Abdullah and he was killed. His neck was struck until it was severed, then he was thrown into a pit among the pits of Khaybar. His companions called out to him, and they pulled him out and concealed him. Then, they arrived in Medina to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ . His brother, Abdullah ibn Sahl, came forward. He had accompanied the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and his two cousins, Huwayshah ibn Mas'ud and Muhayyisah. Abdullah spoke, and he was the youngest among them in age, but he had spilled blood and was respected among his people. When he finished speaking, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'Al-Kubra! (The greatest!)' He then stepped back, and Huwayshah and Muhayyisah spoke. Then, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'You call your killer, then you swear fifty oaths upon him, then we will hand him over to you.' They said, 'O Messenger of Allah! We would not swear upon something we do not know. We do not know who killed him except that it was a Jew, our enemy, and among their ranks he was killed.' He said, 'So, they would swear to you by Allah that they are innocent of the blood of your companion, and then they would dissociate themselves from it.' They said, 'We would not accept oaths from Jews. There is no greater crime than them swearing falsely.' He said, 'By Allah! The Messenger of Allah desires from it one hundred camels as compensation.'"  

فَعُدِيَ عَلَى عَبْدِ اللَّهِ فَقُتِلَ فَتُلَّتْ عُنُقُهُ حَتَّى نُخِعَ ثُمَّ طُرِحَ فِي مَنْهَلٍ مِنْ مَنَاهِلِ خَيْبَرَ فَاسْتُصْرِخَ عَلَيْهِ أَصْحَابُهُ فَاسْتَخْرَجُوهُ فَغَيَّبُوهُ ثُمَّ قَدِمُوا عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ الْمَدِينَةَ فَتَقَدَّمَ أَخُوهُ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ سَهْلٍ وَكَانَ ذَا قِدَمٍ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَابْنَا عَمِّهِ مَعَهُ حُوَيِّصَةُ بْنُ مَسْعُودٍ وَمُحَيِّصَةُ فَتَكَلَّمَ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ وَكَانَ أَحْدَثَهُمْ سِنًّا وَهُوَ صَاحِبُ الدَّمِ وَذَا قَدَمٍ فِي الْقَوْمِ فَلَمَّا تَكَلَّمَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «الْكُبْرَ الْكُبْرَ» قَالَ فَاسْتَأْخَرَ فَتَكَلَّمَ حُوَيِّصَةُ وَمُحَيِّصَةُ ثُمَّ هُوَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «تُسَمُّونَ قَاتِلَكُمْ ثُمَّ تَحْلِفُونَ عَلَيْهِ خَمْسِينَ يَمِينًا ثُمَّ نُسَلِّمُهُ إِلَيْكُمْ» قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَا كُنَّا لِنَحْلِفَ عَلَى مَا لَا نَعْلَمُ مَا نَدْرِي مَنْ قَتَلَهُ إِلَّا أَنَّ يَهُودَ عَدُوُّنَا وَبَيْنَ أَظْهُرِهِمْ قُتِلَ قَالَ «فَيَحْلِفُونَ لَكُمْ بِاللَّهِ إِنَّهُمْ لَبُرَءَاءُ مِنْ دَمِ صَاحِبِكُمْ ثُمَّ يَبْرَءُونَ مِنْهُ» قَالُوا مَا كُنَّا لِنَقْبَلَ أَيْمَانَ يَهُودَ مَا فِيهِمْ أَكْبَرُ مِنْ أَنْ يَحْلِفُوا عَلَى إِثْمٍ قَالَ «فَوَدَاهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ مِنْ عِنْدِهِ بِمِائَةِ نَاقَةٍ»  

Muhayysah bin Mas'ud and 'Abdullah bin Sahl went to Khaibar for some need they had there, and they parted among the palm trees. 'Abdullah bin Sahl was killed, and 'Abdullah bin Sahl was killed, and his brother 'Abdur-Rahman bin Shl, and Huwayysah, and Musayysah, his paternal cousins, came to the Messenger of Allah. 'Abdur-Rahan spoke about his brother's case, but he was the youngest of them, so the Messenger of Allah said: "Let the elders speak first." So they spoke about their companions, and the Messenger of Allah said: Let fifty of your swear an oath." The said: "O Messenger of Allah, it is something that we did not witness: how can we swear an oath?" He said: "Then let the Jews swear fifty oaths to their innocence." They said: "O Messenger of Allah, they area) a disbelieving people," So the Messenger of Allah paid the blood money himself Sahl said: "I entered a Mirbad of theirs, and one of those camels kicked me." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 4713)   

أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ سَهْلٍ وَمُحَيِّصَةَ بْنَ مَسْعُودٍ أَتَيَا خَيْبَرَ فِي حَاجَةٍ لَهُمَا فَتَفَرَّقَا فَقُتِلَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ سَهْلٍ فَأَتَى النَّبِيَّ ﷺ أَخُوهُ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ سَهْلٍ وَابْنُ عَمِّهِ حُوَيِّصَةُ قَالَ فَتَكَلَّمَ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «الْكُبْرَ الْكُبْرَ» قَالَ فَتَكَلَّمَا بِأَمْرِ صَاحِبِهِمَا فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «تَسْتَحِقُّونَ صَاحِبَكُمْ أَوْ قَالَ قَتِيلَكُمْ بِأَيْمَانِ خَمْسِينَ مِنْكُمْ» قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ لَمْ نَشْهَدْهُ كَيْفَ نَحْلِفُ عَلَيْهِ؟ قَالَ «فَتُبْرِئُكُمْ يَهُودُ بِأَيْمَانِ خَمْسِينَ مِنْهُمْ» قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَوْمٌ كُفَّارٌ قَالَ فَوَدَاهُ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ مِنْ قِبَلِهِ قَالَ سَهْلٌ فَدَخَلْتُ مِرْبَدًا لَهُمْ يَوْمًا فَرَكَضَتْنِي نَاقَةٌ مِنْ تِلْكِ الْإِبِلِ رَكْضَةً  

[Machine] He heard Sahl ibn Abi Hathma saying that Abdullah ibn Sahl was found dead in a poor man, or impoverished district, or Khaybar region. So his brother, Abdullah ibn Sahl, went to the Prophet ﷺ , and his aunt, Huwaisah, and her two sons, Mahysah and Muhyysah, went with him. Then Abdullah ibn Sahl began to speak, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Al-kubra, al-kubra" (the greatest sin, the greatest sin). Then Muhyysah began to speak and mentioned the killing of Abdullah ibn Sahl. He said, "O Messenger of Allah, we found Abdullah ibn Sahl dead, and indeed the Jews are people of disbelief and treachery, and they are the ones who killed him." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Then you all swear fifty oaths, and you will either deserve your companion or the blood of your companion." They said, "O Messenger of Allah, how can we swear oaths about something we did not witness and were not present for?" He said, "Then the Jews will swear fifty oaths to you." They said, "How can we accept oaths from a people who are polytheists?" So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ settled the matter, and Sahl said, "Indeed, it indeed happened to me one morning."  

أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ سَهْلَ بْنَ أَبِي حَثْمَةَ يَقُولُ وَجَدَ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ سَهْلٍ قَتِيلًا فِي فَقِيرٍ أَوْ قَلِيبٍ مِنْ فُقُرِ أَوْ قُلُبِ خَيْبَرَ فَأَتَى النَّبِيَّ ﷺ أَخُوهُ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ سَهْلٍ وَعَمَّاهُ حُوَيِّصَةُ وَمُحَيِّصَةُ ابْنَا مَسْعُودٍ فَذَهَبَ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ يَتَكَلَّمُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «الْكُبُرَ الْكُبُرَ» فَتَكَلَّمَ مُحَيِّصَةُ فَذَكَرَ مَقْتَلَ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ سَهْلٍ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّا وَجَدْنَا عَبْدَ اللهِ بْنِ سَهْلٍ قَتِيلًا وَإِنَّ الْيَهُودَ أَهْلُ كُفْرٍ وغَدْرٍ وَهُمُ الَّذِينَ قَتَلُوهُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «فَتَحْلِفُونَ خَمْسِينَ يَمِينًا وَتَسْتَحِقُّونَ صَاحِبَكُمْ أَوْ دَمَ صَاحِبِكُمْ» فَقَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ كَيْفَ نَحْلِفُ عَلَى مَا لَمْ نَحْضُرْ وَلَمْ نَشْهَدْ؟ قَالَ «فَتَبْرَأُ إِلَيْكُمْ يَهُودُ بِخَمْسِينَ يَمِينًا» قَالُوا كَيْفَ نَقْبَلُ أَيْمَانَ قَوْمٍ مُشْرِكِينَ؟ فَوَدِيَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مِنْ عِنْدِهِ قَالَ سَهْلٌ «فَلَقَدْ رَكَضَتْنِي بَكْرَةٌ مِنْهَا»  

[Machine] Al-Qa'nabi narrated on the authority of Malik that Bakr ibn Sahl al-Dimyati narrated to us, on the authority of Abdullah ibn Yusuf, who said: "I am Malik, on the authority of Abu Layla ibn Abdullah ibn Sahl, on the authority of Sahl ibn Abi Hathmah that he was informed by some of the elders of his people that Abdullah ibn Sahl and Muhaysah went out to Khaybar due to some difficulty that had befallen them. Muhaysah then came and informed them that Abdullah ibn Sahl had been killed and thrown into a well or a blind person's home. He then went to the Jews and said, 'By Allah, you killed him.' They replied, 'By Allah, we did not kill him.' He then continued until he reached his people and mentioned this to them. So he and his brother Huwayyisah, who was older than him, along with Abdur Rahman ibn Sahl, went to Khaybar. Huwayyisah went forth to speak, even though he was the one who had been present in Khaybar. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to Huwayyisah, 'Recite the takbir, recite the takbir,' intending for him to mention the year (of the event). Huwayyisah then spoke, and after him, Muhaysah spoke. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'Either they should hand over the killer or they should ready themselves for war.' So the Messenger of Allah sent them a letter regarding this matter and they wrote back, 'By Allah, we did not kill him.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to Huwayyisah, Muhaysah, and Abdur Rahman ibn Sahl, 'You take an oath and you deserve the blood of your companion?' They replied, 'No.' He said, 'Then will the Jews take an oath for you?' They said, 'They are not Muslims.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ was very displeased with this and sent them one hundred camels as compensation, until they were brought into their house. Sahl said, 'A red camel from among them ran ahead of me.'"

[Machine] Abdullah ibn Sahil was struck by misfortune in Khaybar. He went out there with his companions to collect dates when he was found with a broken neck and was left to die. They then took him and hid him. Afterwards, they went to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and informed him of what happened. His brother, Abdullah ibn Al-Rahman, came forward with his cousins, Huwayyisah and Muhayyisah, the sons of Mas'ud. Abdullah ibn Al-Rahman was the youngest among them, but he was the bravest of the people. When he spoke before his cousins, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "The eldest should speak first." So, Huwayyisah and Muhayyisah spoke first, and then Abdullah spoke. He informed the Prophet ﷺ about the killing of their companion. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "You should name the killer and make a solemn oath of fifty oaths, and we will hand him over to you." They said, "We cannot make an oath about something we do not know." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Then make a solemn oath by Allah, fifty oaths, that you did not kill him and you do not know who killed him, and then you can absolve yourselves from his blood." They said, "We would not accept oaths from the Jews that involve something greater than disbelief, let alone swear oaths about a sin." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ , on behalf of Sahil, offered a hundred camels as compensation. Sahil said, "By Allah, I will not even forget one morning of them. There was a red camel among them that kicked me while I was milking it."  

أُصِيبَ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ سَهْلٍ بِخَيْبَرَ وَكَانَ خَرَجَ إِلَيْهَا فِي أَصْحَابٍ لَهُ يَمْتَارُونَ تَمْرًا فَوُجِدَ فِي عَيْنٍ قَدْ كُسِرَتْ عُنُقُهُ ثُمَّ ضُرِحَ عَلَيْهِ فَأَخَذُوهُ فَغَيَّبُوهُ ثُمَّ قَدِمُوا عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَذَكَرُوا لَهُ شَأْنَهُ فَتَقَدَّمَ أَخُوهُ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ وَمَعَهُ ابْنَا عَمِّهِ حُوَيِّصَةُ وَمُحَيِّصَةُ ابْنَا مَسْعُودٍ وَكَانَ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ أَحْدَثَهُمْ سِنًّا وَكَانَ صَاحِبَ الدَّمِ وَكَانَ ذَا قَدَمِ الْقَوْمِ فَلَمَّا تَكَلَّمَ قَبْلَ بَنِي عَمِّهِ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ الْكِبَرَ الْكِبَرَ فَتَكَلَّمَ حُوَيِّصَةُ وَمُحَيِّصَةُ ثُمَّ تَكَلَّمَ هُوَ بَعْدُ فَذَكَرَ لِرَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ قَتْلَ صَاحِبِهِمْ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ تُسَمُّونَ قَاتِلَكُمْ ثُمَّ تَحْلِفُونَ عَلَيْهِ خَمْسِينَ يَمِينًا فَنُسْلِمُهُ إِلَيْكُمْ؟ قَالُوا مَا كُنَّا نَحْلِفُ عَلَى مَا لَا نَعْلَمُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَيَحْلِفُونَ بِاللهِ لَكُمْ خَمْسِينَ يَمِينًا مَا قَتَلُوهُ وَلَا يَعْلَمُونَ لَهُ قَاتِلًا ثُمَّ يَبْرَءُونَ مِنْ دَمِهِ؟ فَقَالُوا مَا كُنَّا لِنَقْبَلَ أَيْمَانَ يَهُودَ مَا فِيهِمْ مِنَ الْكُفْرِ أَعْظَمُ مِنْ أَنْ يَحْلِفُوا عَلَى إِثْمٍ فَوَدَاهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مِنْ عِنْدِهِ مِائَةَ نَاقَةٍ فَقَالَ سَهْلٌ فَوَاللهِ مَا أَنْسَى بَكْرَةً مِنْهَا حَمْرَاءَ ضَرَبَتْنِي بِرِجْلِهَا وَأَنَا أَحُورُهَا  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to Mu'hayyisah, "Say takbeer, say takbeer." Then Huwayyisah spoke first, and then Mu'hayyisah spoke. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Either they should hand over your companion, or they should declare war." So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ wrote to them regarding this matter, and they wrote in response, "By Allah, we did not kill him." So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to Huwayyisah, Mu'hayyisah, and 'Abdur-Rahman, "Do you swear and deserve the blood of your companion?" They said, "No." He said, "Then do the Jews swear?" They said, "No, they are not Muslims." He said, "By Allah, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ desires this from them," so he sent them a hundred camels until they were brought to them. Sahl said, "I was grazed by a red camel from it," and this is the wording of the narration of Ash-Shafi'i, may Allah have mercy on him.  

رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ لِمُحَيِّصَةَ كَبِّرْ كَبِّرْ يُرِيدُ السِّنَّ فَتَكَلَّمَ حُوَيِّصَةُ ثُمَّ تَكَلَّمَ مُحَيِّصَةُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِمَّا أَنْ يَدُوا صَاحِبَكُمْ وَإِمَّا أَنْ يُؤْذَنُوا بِحَرْبٍ فَكَتَبَ إِلَيْهِمْ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فِي ذَلِكَ فَكَتَبُوا إِنَّا وَاللهِ مَا قَتَلْنَاهُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ لِحُوَيِّصَةَ وَمُحَيِّصَةَ وَعَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ تَحْلِفُونَ وَتَسْتَحِقُّونَ دَمَ صَاحِبِكُمْ؟ قَالُوا لَا قَالَ فَتَحْلِفُ يَهُودُ؟ قَالُوا لَا لَيْسُوا بِمُسْلِمِينَ قَالَ فَوَدَاهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مِنْ عِنْدِهِ فَبَعَثَ إِلَيْهِمْ بِمِائَةِ نَاقَةٍ حَتَّى أُدْخِلَتْ عَلَيْهِمُ الدَّارَ فَقَالَ سَهْلٌ لَقَدْ رَكَضَتْنِي مِنْهَا نَاقَةٌ حَمْرَاءُ لَفْظُ حَدِيثِ الشَّافِعِيِّ رَحِمَهُ اللهُ  

[Machine] Abdullah bin Sahal was found dead in a valley in Khaybar. His brother, Abdurrahman bin Sahal, brought the news to the Prophet Muhammad, and mentioned the animosity of the Jews towards them. The Prophet then asked if the Jews would be willing to take an oath fifty times to prove their innocence in Abdullah's murder. They replied saying that they could not trust their oaths, as they were polytheists. The Prophet then asked if fifty people among them would be willing to swear that they had killed Abdullah. They responded saying that it was impossible for them to make such a claim without evidence. The Prophet Muhammad swore that he would make everything right from his side.  

وُجِدَ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ سَهْلٍ قَتِيلًا فِي قَلِيبٍ مِنْ قُلُبِ خَيْبَرَ فَجَاءَ أَخُوهُ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ سَهْلٍ وَعَمَّاهُ حُوَيِّصَةُ وَمُحَيِّصَةُ فَذَهَبَ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ يَتَكَلَّمُ عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ الْكُبْرَ الْكُبْرَ فَتَكَلَّمَ أَحَدُ عَمَّيْهِ الْكَبِيرُ مِنْهُمَا إِمَّا حُوَيِّصَةُ وَإِمَّا مُحَيِّصَةُ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّا وَجَدْنَا عَبْدَ اللهِ قَتِيلًا فِي قَلِيبٍ مِنْ قُلُبِ خَيْبَرَ فَذَكَرَ يَهُودَ وَعَدَاوَتِهُمْ وَشَرَّهُمْ قَالَ أَفَتُبْرِئُكُمْ يَهُودُ بِخَمْسِينَ يَمِينًا يَحْلِفُونَ أَنَّهُمْ لَمْ يَقْتُلُوهُ؟ قَالُوا وَكَيْفَ نَرْضَى بِأَيْمَانِهِمْ وَهُمْ مُشْرِكُونَ؟ قَالَ فَيُقْسِمُ مِنْكُمْ خَمْسُونَ أَنَّهُمْ قَتَلُوهُ؟ قَالُوا وَكَيْفَ نُقْسِمُ عَلَى مَا لَمْ نَرَهُ؟ قَالَ فَوَدَاهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مِنْ عِنْدِهِ  

: "عَنْ عَبْد اللهِ بن سَمْعَان قَالَ: أَخْبَرنِي أبُو بكْر بن مُحَمَّد بن عَمْرو بن حَزْم، عَنْ رَهْطٍ مِنَ الأَنْصارِ: أنَّ عَبْد اللهِ بن سَهْل الأَنْصَارِي قُتِلَ بخَيْبَر، وَهُوَ أَوَّلُ مَنْ كَانَتْ فيه الْقَسَامَة فِي الإِسْلَامِ، خَرَجَ هُوَ وَمحِّيصَة بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ إِلَى خَيْبَر فَتَفَرَّقَا لحاجَتِهِمَا فَقتِلَ عَبْد الله ابن سَهْلِ، فَقْدِمْ محيصَة فَانْطَلَق هُوَ وَأَخُوهُ حويصةُ، وَعَبْد الرَّحْمن بن سَهْلٍ أخو الْمقْتُولِ إِلى النَّبيِّ ﷺ فأراد عبد الرحمن أن يتكلم لمكانه من أخيه، فقال رسول الله ﷺ كبر الأَكْبَر، فَتَكَلَّمَ محيصةُ وَحُويصَة فَقَالَا: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّا وَجَدْنَا عَبْد الله بن سهْل مَقْتَولًا فِي قلَيْبٍ مِنْ قلُب خَيْبَر، وَلاَ نَدْرِي مَنْ قَتَلَهُ، وَنَحَنُ نَظُنُّ أَنَّه يهَود فقَالَ النَّبيُّ ﷺ : أَتَحْلِفُونَ خَمْسِينَ عَلَى خمسين رَجُلًا أَنَّ يَهُود قَتَلَهُ فَتَسْتَحِقُّونَ بِذَلكِ؟ قَالُوا: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ كَيْفَ نَحْلِفُ عَلَى أَمْرٍ كَانَ عَنَّا غَائِبًا فَلَم نَحْضرْهُ، فَلَمَّا تَكَلموا قَالَ: فَتَحْلِفُ لكُم يَهُود فَتُبَرئِكُم خَمْسينَ رَجُلًا منهم عَلَى خَمْسِينَ يَمينًا أَنَّهمُ بَرَاءٌ مِمَّن قَتَل صَاحِبكُم، قَالُوا: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ: كَيْفَ نَرضَى بِأيمْان يَهُود وهُم كُفَّار؟ فَعَقَلَهُ رَسُول اللهِ ﷺ مِنْ عنْدِهِ بِمِائة مِنَ الإبِلِ، قَالَ أبُو بكرْ: فَأَخْبَرني سَهْل بن أَبِي حَثمَة الأَنْصَارِي: لَقَد رَأيْتُ ذَلكِ الْعَقْل الذي وَدى بِهِ النَّبي ﷺ بِه عَبْد اللهِ بن سَهْلِ وَرَكَضَتْنِى مِنْها فَرِيضَة".
