'Abdullah bin Sahi Al-Anasri and Muhayysah bin Mas'ud went out to Khaibar and went their separate ways to go about their business. 'Abdullah bin Sahl Al-Anasari was killed and Muhayysah. 'Abdur-Rahman, who was the brother of the victim, and Huwayysah, came to the Messenger of Allah. 'Abdur-Rahman started to speak, but the prophert said to him: "Let the elders speak first." So Muhayysah and Huwayysah spoke and told him about the case of 'Abdullah bin Sahl. 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."'

أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ سَهْلٍ الأَنْصَارِيَّ وَمُحَيِّصَةَ بْنَ مَسْعُودٍ خَرَجَا إِلَى خَيْبَرَ فَتَفَرَّقَا فِي حَاجَتِهِمَا فَقُتِلَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ سَهْلٍ الأَنْصَارِيُّ فَجَاءَ مُحَيِّصَةُ وَعَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ أَخُو الْمَقْتُولِ وَحُوَيِّصَةُ بْنُ مَسْعُودٍ حَتَّى أَتَوْا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَذَهَبَ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ يَتَكَلَّمُ فَقَالَ لَهُ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ الْكُبْرَ الْكُبْرَ فَتَكَلَّمَ مُحَيِّصَةُ وَحُوَيِّصَةُ فَذَكَرُوا شَأْنَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ سَهْلٍ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ تَحْلِفُونَ خَمْسِينَ يَمِينًا فَتَسْتَحِقُّونَ قَاتِلَكُمْ قَالُوا كَيْفَ نَحْلِفُ وَلَمْ نَشْهَدْ وَلَمْ نَحْضُرْ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَتُبَرِّئُكُمْ يَهُودُ بِخَمْسِينَ يَمِينًا قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ كَيْفَ نَقْبَلُ أَيْمَانَ قَوْمٍ كُفَّارٍ قَالَ فَوَدَاهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ بُشَيْرٌ قَالَ لِي سَهْلُ بْنُ أَبِي حَثْمَةَ لَقَدْ رَكَضَتْنِي فَرِيضَةٌ مِنْ تِلْكَ الْفَرَائِضِ فِي مِرْبَدٍ لَنَا

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 (one of the narrators) said: And I think it was from Rafi' bin Khadij - that 'Abdullah bin Sahl bin Zaid and Muhaiysah bin Mas'ud bin Zaid went out and when they reached Khaibar they separated while there. Then Muhayyisah found 'Abdullah bin Sahl murdered [so he buried him]. Then he went to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ along with Huwayyisah bin Mas'ud and Abdur-Rahman bin Sahl. The youngest of the people, Abdur-Rahman, went to speak ahead of his companions. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to him: "Let the eldest of you speak." So he was silent and two companions spoke. So he conversed with them and they mentioned to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ about the murder of 'Abdullah bin Sahl. He said to them: "If fifty of you can swear an oath then you will have the right against the murderer." They said: "How can we take an oath when we did not witness it?" He said: "Then fifty of Jews can swear to clear the charge with you?" They said: "How could we accept the oaths of a disbelieving people?" So when he saw that, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ paid the blood-money." (Another Chain) from Sahl bin Abi Hathman and Rafi' bin Khadij, and the meaning is similar to this Hadith.

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."

[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."

[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 Sahl al-Ansari and Muhaishah ibn Mas'ood went to Khaybar and separated for their needs. Abdullah ibn Sahl was killed, and then Muhaishah and Abdurrahman, the brother of the deceased, set out until they came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ . Abdurrahman began to speak, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Greater, Greater." Muhaishah and Huwaishah spoke and mentioned the matter of Abdullah ibn Sahl. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Do you swear by fifty and accuse them of killing your companion?" They said, "How can we swear when we did not witness or attend?" The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Then the Jews will acquit you with fifty oaths." They said, "O Messenger of Allah, how can we accept the oaths of disbelieving people?" The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "By Allah, the Jew's oaths are acceptable." Bushair ibn Yasir said, "Sahl ibn Abi Hathma outran me in performing a voluntary prayer among those obligatory prayers, and it was in a place called Marbad." We were informed by Muhammad ibn Mansur al-Makki, who narrated from Sufyan, who narrated from Yahya ibn Sa'id, who narrated from Bushair ibn Yasir, who narrated from Sahl ibn Abi Hathma that they found Abdullah ibn Sahl dead. Then his brother, Huwaishah and Muhaishah, who were the uncles of Abdullah ibn Sahl, went to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ . Abdurrahman began to speak, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Greater, Greater." They said, "O Messenger of Allah, we found Abdullah ibn Sahl dead in a place called Qulayb, meaning near Khaybar." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Who do you accuse?" They said, "We accuse the Jews." He said, "Then you swear by fifty oaths that the Jews killed him?" They said, "How can we swear about something we did not witness?" The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Then the Jews will acquit you with fifty oaths that they did not kill him." They said, "But how can we accept their oaths when they are polytheists?" The Messenger of Allah ﷺ , through divine inspiration, said, "Abdulrahman, send Malik ibn Anas to retrieve him."

أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللهِ بْنَ سَهْلٍ الْأَنْصَارِيَّ وَمُحَيِّصَةَ بْنَ مَسْعُودٍ خَرَجَا إِلَى خَيْبَرَ فَتَفَرَّقَا فِي حَاجَتِهِمَا فَقُتِلَ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ سَهْلٍ فَجَاءَ مُحَيِّصَةُ وَعَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ أَخُو الْمَقْتُولِ وَحُوَيِّصَةُ بْنُ مَسْعُودٍ حَتَّى أَتَوْا رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَذَهَبَ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ يَتَكَلَّمُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «الْكُبْرَ الْكُبْرَ» فَتَكَلَّمَ مُحَيِّصَةُ وَحُوَيِّصَةُ فَذَكَرُوا شَأْنَ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ سَهْلٍ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «تَحْلِفُونَ خَمْسِينَ فَتَسْتَحِقُّونَ قَاتِلَكُمْ؟» قَالَا كَيْفَ نَحْلِفُ وَلَمْ نَشْهَدْ وَلَمْ نَحْضُرْ؟ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «فَتُبَرِّئُكُمْ يَهُودُ بِخَمْسِينَ» قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ كَيْفَ نَقْبَلُ أَيْمَانَ قَوْمٍ كُفَّارٍ؟ قَالَ فَوَدَاهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ بُشَيْرُ بْنُ يَسَارٍ قَالَ لِي سَهْلُ بْنُ أَبِي حَثْمَةَ لَقَدْ رَكَضَتْنِي فَرِيضَةٌ مِنْ تِلْكَ الْفَرَائِضِ فِي مِرْبَدٍ لَنَا 6893 أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ الْمَكِّيُّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ بُشَيْرِ بْنِ يَسَارٍ عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ أَبِي حَثْمَةَ قَالَ وُجِدَ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ سَهْلٍ قَتِيلًا فَجَاءَ أَخُوهُ وَعَمَّاهُ حُوَيِّصَةُ وَمُحَيِّصَةُ وَهُمَا عَمَّا عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ سَهْلٍ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَذَهَبَ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ يَتَكَلَّمُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «الْكُبْرَ الْكُبْرَ» قَالَا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّا وَجَدْنَا عَبْدَ اللهِ بْنَ سَهْلٍ قَتِيلًا فِي قُلَيْبٍ مِنْ يَعْنِي مِنْ قُلُبِ خَيْبَرَ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «مَنْ تَتَّهِمُونَ؟» قَالُوا نَتَّهِمُ يَهُودَ قَالَ «فَتُقْسِمُونَ خَمْسِينَ يَمِينًا أَنَّ الْيَهُودَ قَتَلَتْهُ؟» قَالُوا وَكَيْفَ نُقْسِمُ عَلَى مَا لَمْ نَرَ؟ قَالَ «فَتُبَرِّئُكُمْ الْيَهُودُ بِخَمْسِينَ أَنَّهُمْ لَمْ يَقْتُلُوهُ» قَالُوا وَكَيْفَ نَرْضَى بِأَيْمَانِهِمْ وَهُمْ مُشْرِكُونَ؟ فَوَدَاهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مِنْ عِنْدِهِ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ أَرْسَلَهُ مَالِكُ بْنُ أَنَسٍ

[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] 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.

أَنَّ مُحَيِّصَةَ بْنَ مَسْعُودٍ وَعَبْدَ اللهِ بْنَ سَهْلٍ انْطَلَقَا قَبْلَ خَيْبَرَ فَتَفَرَّقَا فِي النَّخْلِ فَقُتِلَ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ سَهْلٍ فَاتَّهَمُوا الْيَهُودَ فَجَاءَ أَخُوهُ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ سَهْلٍ وَابْنَا عَمِّهِ حُوَيِّصَةُ وَمُحَيِّصَةُ فَأَتَوَا النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَتَكَلَّمَ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ فِي أَمْرِ أَخِيهِ وَهُوَ أَصْغَرُهُمْ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ الْكُبْرَ الْكُبْرَ أَوْ قَالَ لِيَبْدَأِ الْأَكْبَرُ فَتَكَلَّمَا فِي أَمْرِ صَاحِبِهِمَا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يُقْسِمُ 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 ﷺ مِنْ قِبَلِهِ قَالَ سَهْلٌ دَخَلْتُ مِرْبَدًا لَهُمْ يَوْمًا فَرَكَضَتْنِي نَاقَةٌ مِنْ تِلْكَ الْإِبِلِ رَكْضَةً بِرِجْلِهَا هَذَا أَوْ نَحْوُهُ لَفْظُ حَدِيثِ الرُّوذْبَارِيِّ وَفِي رِوَايَةِ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللهِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ اسْتَحِقُّوا صَاحِبَكُمْ أَوْ قَالَ قَتِيلَكُمْ بِأَيْمَانِ خَمْسِينَ مِنْكُمْ قَالُوا أَمْرٌ لَمْ نَشْهَدْهُ قَالَ فَتُبْرِئُكُمْ يَهُودُ بِأَيْمَانِ خَمْسِينَ مِنْهُمْ وَذَكَرَ الْبَاقِيَ بِمَعْنَاهُ

[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

[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] Abdullah bin Sahl Al-Ansari and Muhaysah bin Masood went out to Khaybar, but they separated for their own needs. Abdullah bin Sahl was killed, and then Abdulrahman bin Sahl, Huwayshah, and Muhaysah bin Masood went to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ . Abdulrahman, the brother of the deceased, came forward to speak. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to him, "Hold on, hold on." Huwayshah and Muhaysah then spoke of the incident of Abdullah bin Sahl. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ asked them, "Do any of you swear by Allah that you saw the killer or his companion?" They said, "O Messenger of Allah, we were not present, and we did not witness." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Then the Jews will clear you of guilt by taking fifty oaths from you." They asked, "O Messenger of Allah, how can we accept oaths from disbelievers?" The Prophet ﷺ then accepted their request.
