English translation

4523. It was narrated from Sa’eed bin ‘Ubaid Aṭ-Ṭā’ī, from Bushair bin Yasār (that) an Anṣārī man who was called Sahl bin Abī Ḥathmah told him that some of his people went to Khaibar and parted there, then they found one of their number slain. They said to those among whom they found him: “Did you kill our companion?” They said: “We did not kill him, and we do not know who killed him.” They went to the Prophet of Allāh ﷺ, and he said to them: “Bring me proof against the one who killed him.” They said: “We have no proof.” He said: “May they swear an oath for you?” They said: “We will not accept the oath of the Jews.” The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ did not like for his blood to be neglected, so he gave one hundred of the Ṣadaqah (Zakāt) camels as Diyah. (Ṣaḥīḥ)

4523 - حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الصَّبَّاحِ الزَّعْفَرَانِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو نُعَيْمٍ، حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ الطَّائِيُّ، عَنْ بُشَيْرِ بْنِ يَسَارٍ، زَعَمَ أَنَّ رَجُلًا، مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ يُقَالُ لَهُ سَهْلُ بْنُ أَبِي حَثْمَةَ أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّ نَفَرًا مِنْ قَوْمِهِ انْطَلَقُوا إِلَى خَيْبَرَ، فَتَفَرَّقُوا فِيهَا، فَوَجَدُوا أَحَدَهُمْ قَتِيلًا، فَقَالُوا لِلَّذِينَ وَجَدُوهُ عِنْدَهُمْ: قَتَلْتُمْ صَاحِبَنَا، فَقَالُوا: مَا قَتَلْنَاهُ وَلَا عَلِمْنَا قَاتِلًا، فَانْطَلَقْنَا إِلَى نَبِيِّ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، قَالَ فَقَالَ لَهُمْ «تَأْتُونِي بِالْبَيِّنَةِ عَلَى مَنْ قَتَلَ هَذَا» قَالُوا: مَا لَنَا بَيِّنَةٌ، قَالَ: «فَيَحْلِفُونَ لَكُمْ» قَالُوا: لَا نَرْضَى بِأَيْمَانِ الْيَهُودِ، فَكَرِهَ نَبِيُّ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنْ يُبْطِلَ دَمَهُ، فَوَدَاهُ مِائَةً مِنْ إِبِلِ الصَّدَقَةِ
