English translation

4524. It was narrated that Rāfi' bin Khadīj said: "An Anṣārī man was found slain in the morning at Khaibar. His heirs went to the Prophet ﷺ, and told him about that, and he said: 'Do you have two witnesses who will testify to the murder of your companion?' They said: 'O Messenger of Allāh, no one among the Muslims was there, and they are Jews who sometimes dare to do worse than this.' He said: 'Choose fifty of them, and ask them to swear an oath.' But they refused, so the Prophet ﷺ paid the Diyah himself." (Ṣaḥīḥ)

4524 - حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ عَلِيِّ بْنِ رَاشِدٍ، أَخْبَرَنَا هُشَيْمٌ، عَنْ أَبِي حَيَّانَ التَّيْمِيِّ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبَايَةُ بْنُ رِفَاعَةَ، عَنْ رَافِعِ بْنِ خَدِيجٍ، قَالَ: أَصْبَحَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ مَقْتُولًا بِخَيْبَرَ، فَانْطَلَقَ أَوْلِيَاؤُهُ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَذَكَرُوا ذَلِكَ لَهُ، فَقَالَ: «لَكُمْ شَاهِدَانِ يَشْهَدَانِ عَلَى قَتْلِ صَاحِبِكُمْ؟» قَالُوا: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، لَمْ يَكُنْ ثَمَّ أَحَدٌ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ، وَإِنَّمَا هُمْ يَهُودُ وَقَدْ يَجْتَرِئُونَ عَلَى أَعْظَمَ مِنْ هَذَا، قَالَ: «فَاخْتَارُوا مِنْهُمْ خَمْسِينَ فَاسْتَحْلَفُوهُمْ فَأَبَوْا، فَوَدَاهُ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مِنْ عِنْدِهِ»
