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  

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  

'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  

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.  

عَنْ 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 هُنَاكَ ثُمَّ إِنَّ مُحَيِّصَةَ وَجَدَ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ سَهْلٍ قَتِيلاً قَدْ قُتِلَ فَدَفَنَهُ ثُمَّ أَقْبَلَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ هُوَ وَحُوَيِّصَةُ بْنُ مَسْعُودٍ وَعَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ سَهْلٍ وَكَانَ أَصْغَرَ الْقَوْمِ ذَهَبَ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ لِيَتَكَلَّمَ قَبْلَ صَاحِبَيْهِ قَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ كَبِّرِ الْكُبْرَ فَصَمَتَ وَتَكَلَّمَ صَاحِبَاهُ ثُمَّ تَكَلَّمَ 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 فَتُبَرِّئُكُمْ يَهُودُ بِخَمْسِينَ يَمِينًا قَالُوا وَكَيْفَ نَقْبَلُ أَيْمَانَ قَوْمٍ كُفَّارٍ فَلَمَّا رَأَى ذَلِكَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَعْطَى عَقْلَهُ حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ الْخَلاَّلُ حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ أَخْبَرَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ بُشَيْرِ بْنِ يَسَارٍ عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ أَبِي حَثْمَةَ وَرَافِعِ بْنِ خَدِيجٍ نَحْوَ هَذَا الْحَدِيثِ بِمَعْنَاهُ  

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] 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."  

عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ أَبِي حَثْمَةَ وَوُجِدَ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ سَهْلٍ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ قَتِيلًا فِي قَلِيبٍ مِنْ قُلُبِ خَيْبَرَ فَجَاءَ عَمَّاهُ وَأَخُوهُ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ أَخُوهُ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ سَهْلٍ وَعَمَّاهُ حُوَيِّصَةُ وَمُحَيِّصَةُ فَذَهَبَ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ يَتَكَلَّمُ عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ الْكِبَرَ الْكِبَرَ فَتَكَلَّمَ أَحَدُ عَمَّيْهِ إِمَّا حُوَيِّصَةُ وَإِمَّا مُحَيِّصَةُ قَالَ سُفْيَانُ نَسِيتُ أَيُّهُمَا الْكَبِيرُ مِنْهُمَا فَقَالَا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّا وَجَدْنَا عَبْدَ اللهِ قَتِيلًا فِي قَلِيبٍ مِنْ قُلُبِ خَيْبَرَ ثُمَّ ذَكَرَ يَهُودَ وَشَرَّهُمْ وَعَدَاوَتَهُمْ قَالَ لِيُقْسِمْ مِنْكُمْ خَمْسُونَ إِنَّ يَهُودَ قَتَلَتْهُ قَالُوا كَيْفَ نُقْسِمُ عَلَى مَا لَمْ نَرَ؟ قَالَ فَتُبْرِئُكُمْ يَهُودُ بِخَمْسِينَ يَحْلِفُونَ أَنَّهُمْ لَمْ يَقْتُلُوهُ قَالُوا كَيْفَ نَرْضَى بِأَيْمَانِهِمْ وَهُمْ مُشْرِكُونَ قَالَ فَوَدَاهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مِنْ عِنْدِهِ فَرَكَضَتْنِي بَكْرَةٌ مِنْها قِيلَ لِسُفْيَانَ فِي الْحَدِيثِ وَتَسْتَحِقُّونَ دَمَ صَاحِبِكُمْ؟ قَالَ هُوَ ذَا  

[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»  

[Machine] Amr ibn Bukayr ibn Bakkar al-Qa'nabi narrated that Mujashi' ibn Amr narrated to us, who said that Ibn Lahiah narrated on the authority of Abu Qabail, who said that Abdullah ibn Amr ibn al-'As informed him that Muadh ibn Jabal informed him, saying, "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ came out to us with a changed complexion, and he said, 'I am Muhammad, granted the keys of speech and its endings. So obey me as long as I am among you. And when I depart from you, then upon you is the Book of Allah. Make the lawful of it lawful and the unlawful of it unlawful. Death has come to you with the truth. So do not let the shaytan take possession of you. Indeed the meeting place and the resting place of the souls is a book from Allah. There will come to you tribulations, like patches of morning darkness. Whenever one patch goes away, another patch comes. Prophethood will last among you for as long as Allah wills. Then Allah will remove it when He desires. Then there will come the Khilafah upon the Prophetic method.' Allah will have mercy on the one who takes it by its right and leaves it by virtue of His obedience. And he who turns away from it, then Allah will cast him aside just as he turned away. Then he said, 'O Muadh, count!' So I counted until I reached five. He said, 'Yazid, may Allah not bless Yazid.' Then his tears flowed and he said, 'A calamity will befall my grandson Husayn, and his family will be killed in front of him. By the One in whose hand is my soul, he will not be killed except by a people who oppose the command of Allah. They will differ and disagree among themselves.' Then he interlocked his fingers and said, 'Woe unto the offspring of Muhammad from a tyrant ruler, an oppressor, who will destroy the laws of Islam. A man from his family will call upon Allah and his supplication will not be answered. The people will differ among themselves, and it will be as such.' Then he said, 'After one hundred and twenty years, there will be swift death and sudden killing. In it will be their destruction, and a man from the offspring of Abbas will come after them.' And their words are the same."

[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»  

'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." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 4710)  

أَنْتُمْ وَاللهِ قَتَلْتُمُوهُ فَقَالُوا وَاللهِ مَا قَتَلْنَاهُ ثُمَّ أَقْبَلَ مَنْ قَدِمَ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ 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 اللهِ ﷺ «كَبِّرْ كَبِّرْ وَتَكَلَّمَ حُوَيِّصَةُ ثُمَّ تَكَلَّمَ مُحَيِّصَةُ» فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «إِمَّا أَنْ يَدُوا صَاحِبَكُمْ أَوْ يُؤْذَنُوا بِحَرْبٍ» وَكَتَبَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فِي ذَلِكَ فَكَتَبُوا أَمَا وَاللهِ مَا قَتَلْنَاهُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ لِحُوَيِّصَةَ وَمُحَيِّصَةَ وَعَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ «تَحْلِفُونَ وَتَسْتَحِقُّونَ دَمَ صَاحِبِكُمْ؟» قَالُوا لَا قَالَ «فَتَحْلِفُ لَكُمْ يَهُودُ» قَالُوا لَيْسُوا بِمُسْلِمِينَ فَوَدَاهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مِنْ عِنْدِهِ فَبَعَثَ إِلَيْهِمْ بِمِائَةِ نَاقَةٍ حَتَّى أُدْخِلَتْ عَلَيْهِمُ الدَّارَ قَالَ سَهْلٌ لَقَدْ رَكَضَتْنِي مِنْهَا نَاقَةٌ حَمْرَاءُ  

[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] 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  

: "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".
