English translation
4717. It was narrated from Sahl bin Abî Ḥathmah and Râfî bin Khadîj that Muḥayyṣah bin Mas’ûd and ‘Abdullâh bin Sahl went to Khaibar for some need they had there, and they parted among the palm trees. 'Abdullâh bin Sahl was killed, and his brother 'Abdur-Rahmân bin Sahl, and Ḥuwayyṣah, and Muḥayyṣah, his paternal cousins, came to the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ. 'Abdur-Rahmân spoke about his brother's case, but he was the youngest of them, so the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said: "Let the elders speak first." So they spoke about their companion, and the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said: "Let fifty of you swear an oath." They said: "O Messenger of Allâh, it is something that we did not witness; how can we swear an oath?" He said: "Then let the Jews swear fifty oaths to their innocence." They said: "O Messenger of Allâh, (they are) a disbelieving people." So the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ paid the blood money himself. Sahl said: "I entered a Mirbad of theirs, and one of those camels kicked me." (Sahîh)
