7192. Narrated Abū Laila bin 'Abdullāh bin 'Abdur-Raḥmān bin Sahl: Sahl bin Abu
Hathma and some great men of his tribe said, 'Abdullāh bin Sahl and Muḥaiyiṣa went out to Khaibar as they were struck with poverty and difficult living conditions. Then Muḥaiyiṣa was informed that 'Abdullāh had been killed and thrown in a pit or a spring. Muḥaiyiṣa went to the Jews and said, "By Allāh, you have killed my companion." The Jews said, "By Allāh, we have not killed him." Muḥaiyiṣa then came back to his people and told them the story. He, his elder brother Huwaiyiṣa and 'Abdur-Raḥmān bin Sahl came (to the Prophet) and he who had been at Khaibar, proceeded and started to speak, but the Prophet ﷺ said to Muḥaiyiṣa, "The eldest! The eldest!" meaning, "Let the eldest of you speak." So Huwaiyiṣa spoke first and then Muḥaiyiṣa. Allāh's Messenger ﷺ said, "The Jews should either pay the blood-money of your (deceased) companion or be ready for war." After that, Allāh's Messenger ﷺ wrote a letter to the Jews in that respect, and they wrote that they had not killed him. Then Allāh's Messenger ﷺ said to Huwaiyiṣa, Muḥaiyiṣa and 'Abdur-Raḥmān, "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 Allāh's Messenger ﷺ 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.
