"عَنِ الشَّعْبِىِّ: أَنَّ قَتِيلًا وجُدَ في خَرِبَة مِنْ خربِ وادِعَةِ هَمَدَانَ، فَرُفِعَ إِلَى عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ فَأَحْلَفَهُمْ خَمْسِينَ يَمينًا: مًا قَتَلْنَا وَلاَ عَلِمْنَا قَاتِلًا، ثُمَّ غَرَّمَهُمْ الدِّيَةَ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: يَا مَعْشَرَ هَمَدَانَ! حَقَنْتُمْ دِمَاءَكُمْ بِأَيْمَانِكُمْ، فَمَا يَبْطُلُ دَمُ هَذَا الرَّجُلِ الْمُسْلِم".
