[4342] 1 - (1669) It was narrated from Sahl bin Abî Ḥathmah - Yahyâ said: "I think he said: 'And from Râfi' bin Khâdîj'" - that they said: "Abdullâh bin Sahl bin Zaid and Muḥaisah bin Mas'ûd bin Zaid went out, and when they were in Khâibar they parted. Then Muḥaisah found 'Abdullâh bin Sahl slain, so he buried him. Then he came to the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ along with Huwaisah bin Mas'ûd and 'Abdur-Rahmân bin Sahl, who was the youngest of the people. 'Abdur-Rahmân began to speak before his two companions, and the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said to him: 'Let the eldest speak.' So he fell silent and his two companions spoke, and he spoke with them. They told the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ about the killing of 'Abdullâh bin Sahl, and he said to them: 'Will you swear fifty times so that you may be entitled to (blood money) for your companion?' They said: 'How can we swear when we did not witness (what happened)?' He said: 'Then let the Jews swear fifty oaths that they are innocent.' They said: 'How can we accept the oaths of a disbelieving people?' When the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ saw that, he paid the blood money himself."
