English translation
2678. It was narrated from 'Amr bin Shu'aib, from his father, from his grandfather, that Huwayyisah and Muhayyisah, the sons of Mas'ud, and 'Abdullâh and 'Abdur-Rahmân the sons of Sahl, went out to search for food in Khaibar. 'Abdullâh was attacked and killed, and mention of that was made to the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ. He said: "Will you swear an oath and establish your right to blood money?" They said: "O Messenger of Allâh, how can we swear an oath when we did not witness anything?" He said: "Do you want the Jews to swear that they are innocent?" They said: "O Messenger of Allâh, then they will kill us too." So the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ paid the blood money himself. (Sahih)
