ʿAbdullah bin Sahl and Muhaiyisa bin Masʿud bin Zaid set out to Khaibar, the inhabitants of which had a peace treaty with the Muslims at that time. They parted and later on Muhaiyisa came upon ʿAbdullah bin Sah! and found him murdered agitating in his blood. He buried him and returned to Medina. ʿAbdur Rahman bin Sahl, Muhaiyisa and Huwaiuisa, the sons of Masʿud came to the Prophet ﷺ and ʿAbdur Rahman intended to talk, but the Prophet ﷺ said (to him), "Let the eldest of you speak." as ʿAbdur-Rahman was the youngest:. ʿAbdur-Rahman kept silent and the other two spoke. The Prophet ﷺ said, "If you swear as to who has committed the murder, you will have the right to take your right from the murderer." They said, "How should we swear if we did not witness the murder or see the murderer?" The Prophet ﷺ said, "Then the Jews can clear themselves from the charge by taking Alaska (an oath taken by men that it was not they who committed the murder)." The!y said, "How should we believe in the oaths of infidels?" So, the Prophet ﷺ himself paid the blood money (of ʿAbdullah). (See Hadith No. 36 Vol. 9.)  

انْطَلَقَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ سَهْلٍ وَمُحَيِّصَةُ بْنُ مَسْعُودِ بْنِ زَيْدٍ إِلَى خَيْبَرَ وَهْىَ يَوْمَئِذٍ صُلْحٌ فَتَفَرَّقَا فَأَتَى مُحَيِّصَةُ إِلَى عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ سَهْلٍ وَهْوَ يَتَشَحَّطُ فِي دَمٍ قَتِيلاً فَدَفَنَهُ ثُمَّ قَدِمَ الْمَدِينَةَ فَانْطَلَقَ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ سَهْلٍ وَمُحَيِّصَةُ وَحُوَيِّصَةُ ابْنَا مَسْعُودٍ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَذَهَبَ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ يَتَكَلَّمُ فَقَالَ كَبِّرْ كَبِّرْ وَهْوَ أَحْدَثُ الْقَوْمِ فَسَكَتَ فَتَكَلَّمَا فَقَالَ أَتَحْلِفُونَ وَتَسْتَحِقُّونَ قَاتِلَكُمْ أَوْ صَاحِبَكُمْ قَالُوا وَكَيْفَ نَحْلِفُ وَلَمْ نَشْهَدْ وَلَمْ نَرَ قَالَ فَتُبْرِيكُمْ يَهُودُ بِخَمْسِينَ فَقَالُوا كَيْفَ نَأْخُذُ أَيْمَانَ قَوْمٍ كُفَّارٍ فَعَقَلَهُ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ مِنْ عِنْدِهِ  

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.  

أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ سَهْلٍ وَمُحَيِّصَةَ بْنَ مَسْعُودٍ أَتَيَا خَيْبَرَ فَتَفَرَّقَا فِي النَّخْلِ فَقُتِلَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ سَهْلٍ فَجَاءَ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ سَهْلٍ وَحُوَيِّصَةُ وَمُحَيِّصَةُ ابْنَا مَسْعُودٍ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَتَكَلَّمُوا فِي أَمْرِ صَاحِبِهِمْ فَبَدَأَ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ وَكَانَ أَصْغَرَ الْقَوْمِ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ كَبِّرِ الْكُبْرَ قَالَ يَحْيَى لِيَلِيَ الْكَلاَمَ الأَكْبَرُ فَتَكَلَّمُوا فِي أَمْرِ صَاحِبِهِمْ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ أَتَسْتَحِقُّونَ قَتِيلَكُمْ أَوْ قَالَ صَاحِبَكُمْ بِأَيْمَانِ خَمْسِينَ مِنْكُمْ قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَمْرٌ لَمْ نَرَهُ قَالَ فَتُبْرِئُكُمْ يَهُودُ فِي أَيْمَانِ خَمْسِينَ مِنْهُمْ قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَوْمٌ كُفَّارٌ فَوَدَاهُمْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ مِنْ قِبَلِهِ قَالَ سَهْلٌ فَأَدْرَكْتُ نَاقَةً مِنْ تِلْكَ الإِبِلِ فَدَخَلَتْ مِرْبَدًا لَهُمْ فَرَكَضَتْنِي بِرِجْلِهَا قَالَ اللَّيْثُ حَدَّثَنِي يَحْيَى عَنْ بُشَيْرٍ عَنْ سَهْلٍ قَالَ يَحْيَى حَسِبْتُ أَنَّهُ قَالَ مَعَ رَافِعِ بْنِ خَدِيجٍ وَقَالَ ابْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى عَنْ بُشَيْرٍ عَنْ سَهْلٍ وَحْدَهُ  

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 ('Abd al Rahman) spoke along with them and they narrated to Messenger of Allah ﷺ the murder of 'Abdullah b. 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 Messenger of Allah ﷺ saw that, he himself paid his blood-wit.  

وَعَنْ رَافِعِ بْنِ خَدِيجٍ أَنَّهُمَا قَالاَ خَرَجَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ سَهْلِ بْنِ زَيْدٍ وَمُحَيِّصَةُ بْنُ مَسْعُودِ بْنِ زَيْدٍ حَتَّى إِذَا كَانَا بِخَيْبَرَ تَفَرَّقَا فِي بَعْضِ مَا هُنَالِكَ ثُمَّ إِذَا مُحَيِّصَةُ يَجِدُ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ سَهْلٍ قَتِيلاً فَدَفَنَهُ ثُمَّ أَقْبَلَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ هُوَ وَحُوَيِّصَةُ بْنُ مَسْعُودٍ وَعَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ سَهْلٍ وَكَانَ أَصْغَرَ الْقَوْمِ فَذَهَبَ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ لِيَتَكَلَّمَ قَبْلَ صَاحِبَيْهِ فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ كَبِّرِ الْكُبْرَ فِي السِّنِّ فَصَمَتَ فَتَكَلَّمَ صَاحِبَاهُ وَتَكَلَّمَ مَعَهُمَا فَذَكَرُوا لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ مَقْتَلَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ 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 اللَّهِ ﷺ أَعْطَى عَقْلَهُ

Then Muhayysah found 'Abdullah bin Sahl slain, so he buried him. Then he came to the Mesenger of Allah, along with Huwayysah bin Mas'ud and 'Abdur-Rahman bin Sahl, who was the youngest of them, 'Abdur-Rahman started to speak before his two companions, but the Messenger of Allah said to him: "Let the clear speak first." So he fell silent and his two companions spoke, then he spoke with them. They told the Messenger of Allah about the killing of 'Abdullah bin Sahl, and he said to them: "Will you swear fifty oaths, then you will receive compensation, or be entitled to retaliate?" They said: "How can we swear an oath when we did not witness what happened?" he said: "Then can the Jews swear fifty oaths declaring their innocence?" They said: "How can we accept the oath of a disbelieving people?" When the Messenger of Allah saw that, he paid the blood money (himself).

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  

[Machine] Muhaissah and Huwaissah, the sons of Mas'ud, came, and Abdulrahman bin Sahl, the brother of the deceased, came. They were the youngest among them. So they came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and spoke. The one who was most entitled to the blood spoke first. Both of them were eloquent in their speech. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Magnify the magnification." So they spoke about the matter of their companion. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Swear by fifty of you, your companion or your slain." They said, "O Messenger of Allah, it is a matter we have not witnessed, so how can we swear?" He said, "You are acquitted by the oath of fifty Jews among them." They said, "They are disbelievers." He said, "May Allah curse them." I (the narrator) went inside their tents, and a camel from those camels which the Messenger of Allah ﷺ had given to them with his own hand ran after me.  

فَجَاءَ مُحَيِّصَةُ وَحُوَيِّصَةُ ابْنَا مَسْعُودٍ وَجَاءَ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ سَهْلٍ أَخُو الْقَتِيلِ وَكَانَ أَحْدَثَهُمَا فَأَتَوْا رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَتَكَلَّمَ فَبَدَأَ الَّذِي أَوْلَى بِالدَّمِ وَكَانَا هَذَيْنِ أَسَنُّ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ كَبِّرِ الْكِبَرَ قَالَفَتَكَلَّمَا فِي أَمْرِ صَاحِبِهِمَا قَالَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ اسْتَحِقُّوا صَاحِبَكُمْ أَوْ قَتِيلَكُمْ بِأَيْمَانِ خَمْسِينَ مِنْكُمْ قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَمْرٌ لَمْ نَشْهَدْهُ فَكَيْفَ نَحْلِفُ؟ قَالَ فَتُبْرِئُكُمْ يَهُودُ بِخَمْسِينَ أَيْمَانًا مِنْهُمْ فَقَالُوا قَوْمٌ كُفَّارٌ قَالَ فَوَدَاهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مِنْ قِبَلِهِ قَالَ فَدَخَلْتُ مِرْبَدًا لَهُمْ فَرَكَضَتْنِي نَاقَةٌ مِنْ تِلْكَ الْإِبِلِ الَّتِي وَدَاهَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ بِرِجْلِهَا رَكْضَةً  

[Machine] Narrated by Sahl ibn Abi Hathmah: They found Abdullah ibn Sahl from the Ansar killed in a valley of Khaybar called Qalib. His brother and his paternal uncle went to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ . His brother was Abdullah ibn Sahl and his paternal uncle was Huwayyisah and Muhaysah. Abdullah ibn Rahmah went to speak in front of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said, "News of his death reached us, O Messenger of Allah, in a valley of Khaybar called Qalib." Then he mentioned the Jews, their evil and enmity. He said, "Please divide fifty of us from among yourselves, for it was said that the Jews killed him." They said, "How can we divide among what we did not observe?" He said, "Then let the Jews remove the burden of your blood by taking an oath that they did not kill him." They said, "How can we accept their oaths when they are polytheists?" The Messenger of Allah ﷺ wished for it from Allah, and the morning of the next day I saw traces of its impact on him. It is said to Sufyan in the narrative, "And do you deserve the blood of your companion?" He said, "He is there."

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  

and from Rafi bin Khadij, the two of them said - :"Abdullah bin Sahl bin Zaid and Muhayysah bin Mas'ud went out until when they reached Khaibar, they went their separate ways. Then Muhayysah found 'Abdullah bin Sahl slain, so he buried him. Then he came to the Mesenger of Allah, along with Huwayysah bin Mas'ud and 'Abdur-Rahman bin Sahl, who was the youngest of them, 'Abdur-Rahman started to speak before his two companions, but the Messenger of Allah said to him: "Let the clear speak first." So he fell silent and his two companions spoke, then he spoke with them. They told the Messenger of Allah about the killing of 'Abdullah bin Sahl, and he said to them: "Will you swear fifty oaths, then you will receive compensation, or be entitled to retaliate?" They said: "How can we swear an oath when we did not witness what happened?" he said: "Then can the Jews swear fifty oaths declaring their innocence?" They said: "How can we accept the oath of a disbelieving people?" When the Messenger of Allah saw that, he paid the blood money (himself). (Using translation from Nasāʾī 4712)   

عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ أَبِي حَثْمَةَ وَرَافِعِ بْنِ خَدِيجٍ قَالَا خَرَجَ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ سَهْلِ بْنِ زَيْدٍ وَمُحَيِّصَةُ بْنُ مَسْعُودٍ حَتَّى إِذَا كَانَا بِخَيْبَرَ تَفَرَّقَا فِي بَعْضِ مَا هُنَاكَ فَإِذَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ سَهْلٍ قَتِيلٌ فَدَفَنَهُ مُحَيِّصَةُ ثُمَّ أَقْبَلَ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ هُوَ وَحُوَيِّصَةُ ابْنَا مَسْعُودٍ وَعَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ سَهْلٍ فَذَهَبَ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ يَتَكَلَّمُ وَكَانَ أَصْغَرَ الْقَوْمِ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «الْكِبْرَ» فَتَكَلَّمَ صَاحِبَاهُ وَتَكَلَّمَ مَعَهُمَا ثُمَّ ذَكَرُوا لَهُ مَقْتَلَ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ سَهْلٍ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «أَتَحْلِفُونَ خَمْسِينَ أَنَّهُ قَاتَلَ صَاحِبَكُمْ؟» قَالُوا كَيْفَ نَحْلِفُ عَلَى مَا لَمْ نَشْهَدْ؟ قَالَ «فَتُبْرِئُكُمْ يَهُودُ بِخَمْسِينَ يَمِينًا» قَالُوا كَيْفَ نَقْبَلُ أَيْمَانَ قَوْمٍ كُفَّارٍ؟ فَوَدَاهُ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ لَمَّا رَأَى ذَلِكَ  

[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] That Abdullah bin Sahl and Muḥayṣah bin Masʿūd came to Khaybar with a need, and they separated among its palm trees. Abdullah bin Sahl was killed, so his brother, the Prophet's ﷺ cousin, Abdullah bin Sahl, and the sons of his uncle, Muḥayṣah and Ḥuwayṣah bin Masʿūd, came to the Prophet ﷺ. Abdullah bin Sahl started to speak and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Start with the most important matters," meaning to make the major issue the first one. And Abdullah bin Sahl was older than his companions, so they spoke about the killing of their companion. The Prophet ﷺ said, "You deserve your killer or your companion by fifty oaths among them." They said, "They are a disbelieving people." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "By Allah, I wish I had your killing." Sahl said, "I encountered a she-camel of theirs and it ran away with me in their marsh."  

أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللهِ بْنَ سَهْلٍ وَمُحَيِّصَةَ بْنَ مَسْعُودٍ أَتَيَا خَيْبَرَ فِي حَاجَةٍ فَتَفَرَّقَا فِي نَخْلِهَا فَقُتِلَ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ سَهْلٍ فَأَتَى أَخُوهُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ سَهْلٍ وَابْنَا عَمِّهِ مُحَيِّصَةُ وَحُوَيِّصَةُ ابْنَا مَسْعُودٍ فَبَدَأَ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ فَتَكَلَّمَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «كَبِّرِ الْكُبُرَ» يَقُولُ يَبْدَأُ بِالْكَلَامِ الْأَكْبَرُ وَكَانَ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ أَكْبَرَ مِنْ صَاحِبَيْهِ فَتَكَلَّمَا فِي قَتْلِ صَاحِبِهِمَا فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «اسْتَحِقُّوا قَتِيلَكُمْ أَوْ صَاحِبَكُمْ بِأَيْمَانِ خَمْسِينَ مِنْهُمْ» فَقَالُوا قَوْمٌ كُفَّارٌ قَالَ فَوَدَاهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ سَهْلٌ «فَأَدْرَكْتُ نَاقَةً مِنْ تِلْكَ الْإِبِلِ فَرَكَضَتْنِي رَكْضَةً فِي مِرْبَدٍ لَهُمْ»  

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 ('Abd al Rahman) spoke along with them and they narrated to Messenger of Allah ﷺ the murder of 'Abdullah b. 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 Messenger of Allah ﷺ saw that, he himself paid his blood-wit. (Using translation from Muslim 1669a)  

أَنَّهُ قَالَ وَعَنْ رَافِعِ بْنِ خَدِيجٍ أَنَّهُمَا قَالَا خَرَجَ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ سَهْلِ بْنِ زَيْدٍ وَمُحَيِّصَةُ بْنُ مَسْعُودٍ حَتَّى إِذَا كَانَا بِخَيْبَرَ تَفَرَّقَا فِي بَعْضِ مَا هُنَالِكَ ثُمَّ إِذَا مُحَيِّصَةُ يَجِدُ عَبْدَ اللهِ بْنَ سَهْلٍ قَتِيلًا فَدَفَنَهُ ثُمَّ أَقْبَلَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ هُوَ وَحُوَيِّصَةُ بْنُ مَسْعُودٍ وَعَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ سَهْلٍ وَكَانَ أَصْغَرَ الْقَوْمِ فَذَهَبَ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ يَتَكَلَّمُ قَبْلَ صَاحِبَيْهِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «كَبِّرِ لِلْكُبَرِ فِي السِّنِّ فَصَمَتَ وَتَكَلَّمَ صَاحِبَاهُ ثُمَّ تَكَلَّمَ مَعَهُمَا» فَذَكَرُوا لِرَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ مَقْتَلَ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ سَهْلٍ فَقَالَ لَهُمْ «أَتَحْلِفُونَ خَمْسِينَ يَمِينًا وَتَسْتَحِقُّونَ صَاحِبَكُمْ أَوْ قَاتِلَكُمْ؟» قَالُوا «كَيْفَ نَحْلِفُ وَلَمْ نَشْهَدْ؟» قَالَ «فَتُبَرِّئُكُمْ يَهُودُ بِخَمْسِينَ يَمِينًا» قَالُوا «وَكَيْفَ تَقْبَلُ أَيْمَانَ قَوْمٍ كُفَّارٍ فَلَمَّا رَأَى ذَلِكَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَعْطَاهُ عَقْلَهُ»

The Messenger of Allah said: "Will you swear fifty oaths, then you will receive compensation or be entitled to retaliate?" They said: "How can we swear an oath when we did not witness (what happened) and we were not there?" The Messenger of Allah said: "Then can the Jews swear fifty oaths declaring their innocence?" They said: "O Messenger of Allah, how can we accept the oath of a disbelieving people?" So the Messenger of Allah paid the blood money himself. (One of the narrators) Bushair said: 'One of those camels kicked me in a Mirbad of ours."' (Using translation from Nasāʾī 4716)

ʿAbdullah bin Sahl and Muhaiyisa bin Masʿud bin Zaid set out to Khaibar, the inhabitants of which had a peace treaty with the Muslims at that time. They parted and later on Muhaiyisa came upon ʿAbdullah bin Sah! and found him murdered agitating in his blood. He buried him and returned to Medina. ʿAbdur Rahman bin Sahl, Muhaiyisa and Huwaiuisa, the sons of Masʿud came to the Prophet ﷺ and ʿAbdur Rahman intended to talk, but the Prophet ﷺ said (to him), "Let the eldest of you speak." as ʿAbdur-Rahman was the youngest:. ʿAbdur-Rahman kept silent and the other two spoke. The Prophet ﷺ said, "If you swear as to who has committed the murder, you will have the right to take your right from the murderer." They said, "How should we swear if we did not witness the murder or see the murderer?" The Prophet ﷺ said, "Then the Jews can clear themselves from the charge by taking Alaska (an oath taken by men that it was not they who committed the murder)." The!y said, "How should we believe in the oaths of infidels?" So, the Prophet ﷺ himself paid the blood money (of ʿAbdullah). (See Hadith No. 36 Vol. 9.) (Using translation from Bukhārī 3173)

[Machine] That Muhaisha bin Masood and Abdullah bin Sahl went out before the Battle of Khaybar, and they separated in the palm grove. Abdullah bin Sahl was killed, and they accused the Jews. Then his brother, Abdul Rahman bin Sahl, and his cousins Huwayyisa and Muhaisha came to the Prophet ﷺ . Abdul Rahman spoke about the matter of his brother, even though he was the youngest among them. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Let the older among you start speaking." So they both spoke about the matter of their companion, and the Prophet ﷺ said, "Shall I swear by fifty of you to give up his blood money?" They said, "We have never witnessed such a thing, how could we swear?" He said, "So can the Jews be exonerated by the oaths of fifty of them?" They said, "O Messenger of Allah, they are disbelievers." He said, "By Allah, I wish I had accepted it." Sahl said, "One day, I entered a bathhouse belonging to them, and a camel chased me, and it ran with one of its legs, similar to this or something like it." This is the wording of the narration from Al-Rudhabari, and in the narration of Abu Abdullah, the Prophet ﷺ said, "You have made your companion or your slain one deserve it by the oaths of fifty of you." They said, "We have never witnessed such a thing." He said, "So can the Jews be exonerated by the oaths of fifty of them?" And he mentioned the rest in its meaning.
