[4346] 3 - (...) It was narrated from Bushair bin Yasâr that 'Abdullâh bin Sahl bin Zaid and Muhaîsah bin Mas'ûd bin Zaid, two Anshârî men from the tribe of Banû Hârîtah, went out to Khaibar during the time of the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ. At that time there was a peace treaty, and its people were Jews. They parted to go about their business, and ‘Abdullâh bin Sahl was killed. He was found slain in a water tank. His companion buried him, then he came to Al-Madînah. The brother of the slain man, ‘Abdur-Rahmân bin Sahl, along with Muḥaiṣah and Ḥuwaîṣah, went and told the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ about ‘Abdullâh, and where he was killed. Bushair, who narrated this Hadîth from one of the Companions of the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ whom he met, said that he (ﷺ) said to them: “Will you swear fifty oaths so that you will be entitled to the blood money?” They said: “O Messenger of Allâh, we did not witness anything and we were not present.” And he said, that he (ﷺ) said: “Will you let the Jews swear fifty times that they are innocent?” They said: “O Messenger of Allâh, how can we accept the oaths of a disbelieving people?” Bushair said that the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ paid the blood money himself.
