"إِنَّ حُوَيْصَةَ وَمَحِيصَةَ ابْنَى مَسْعُودٍ وَعَبْد اللهِ وَعَبْدَ الرَّحْمنِ ابْنَى فُلاَن خَرَجُوا يَمْتَارُونَ بِخَيْبَر فعُدى عَلَى عَبْدِ الله فَقُتِلَ، فَذَكَروا ذَلِكَ لِلنَّبِىِّ ﷺ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ الله ﷺ يَقْسِمُونَ بِخَمْسِينَ، وَيَسْتَحِقُّوَنَ، قَالُوا: يَا رَسُولَ الله! كَيْفَ نَقْسِمُ وَلَمْ نشْهد قَالَ: فَتُبْرِئكُمْ يَهُود، قَالُوا: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ! إِذَن تَقْتُلنَا يَهُود، فَوَدَاهُ رَسُولُ الله ﷺ مِنْ عِنْدهِ".

Collected by Ibn Mājah
ibnmajah:2678ʿAbdullāh b. Saʿīd > Abū Khālid al-Aḥmar > Ḥajjāj > ʿAmr b. Shuʿayb from his father from his grandfather

Huwayyisah and Muhayyisah , the sons of Mas'ud, and 'Abdullah and 'Abdur-Rahman the sons of Sahl, went out to search for food in Khaibar. 'Abdullah was attacked and killed, and mention of that was made to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. He said: “Will you swear an oath and establish your right to blood money?” They said: “O Messenger of Allah ﷺ, how can we swear an oath when we did not witness anything?” He said: “Do you want the Jews to swear that they are innocent?” They said: “O Messenger of Allah ﷺ, then they will kill us too.” So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ paid the blood money himself.  

ابن ماجة:٢٦٧٨حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو خَالِدٍ الأَحْمَرُ عَنْ حَجَّاجٍ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ شُعَيْبٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ جَدِّهِ

أَنَّ حُوَيِّصَةَ وَمُحَيِّصَةَ ابْنَىْ مَسْعُودٍ وَعَبْدَ اللَّهِ وَعَبْدَ الرَّحْمَنِ ابْنَىْ سَهْلٍ خَرَجُوا يَمْتَارُونَ بِخَيْبَرَ فَعُدِيَ عَلَى عَبْدِ اللَّهِ فَقُتِلَ فَذُكِرَ ذَلِكَ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ تُقْسِمُونَ وَتَسْتَحِقُّونَ فَقَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ كَيْفَ نُقْسِمُ وَلَمْ نَشْهَدْ قَالَ فَتُبْرِئُكُمْ يَهُودُ قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِذًا تَقْتُلُنَا قَالَ فَوَدَاهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ مِنْ عِنْدِهِ
