English translation

4718. It was narrated from Sahl bin Abî Ḥathmah that 'Abdullâh bin Sahl and Muḥayyṣah bin Mas'ūd bin Zaid went to Khaibar, and at that time there was a peace treaty. They went their separate ways to go about their business, then Muḥayyṣah came upon 'Abdullâh bin Sahl lying dead in a pool of blood. He buried him, then he came to Al-Madinah. 'Abdur-Rahmân bin Sahl, Ḥuwayyṣah, and Muḥayyṣah came to the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ, and 'Abdur-Rahmân started to speak, but he was the youngest of them, so the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said: "Let the elders speak first." So he fell silent and they (the other two) spoke. The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said: "Will you swear fifty oaths, then you will receive compensation or be entitled to retaliate?" They said: "O Messenger of Allâh, how can we swear an oath when we did not witness, and did not see (what happened)?" He said: "Then can the Jews swear fifty oaths declaring their innocence?" They said: "O Messenger of Allâh, how can we accept the oath of a disbelieving people?" So the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ paid the blood money himself. (Sahih) . ٦٩١٧، ح ١

4714 - أَخْبَرَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ عَلِيٍّ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا بِشْرٌ وَهُوَ ابْنُ الْمُفَضَّلِ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ بُشَيْرِ بْنِ يَسَارٍ، عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ أَبِي حَثْمَةَ، أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ سَهْلٍ، وَمُحَيِّصَةَ بْنَ مَسْعُودِ بْنِ زَيْدٍ، أَنَّهُمَا أَتَيَا خَيْبَرَ وَهُوَ يَوْمَئِذٍ صُلْحٌ، فَتَفَرَّقَا لِحَوَائِجِهِمَا، فَأَتَى مُحَيِّصَةُ عَلَى عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ سَهْلٍ وَهُوَ يَتَشَحَّطُ فِي دَمِهِ قَتِيلًا، فَدَفَنَهُ ثُمَّ قَدِمَ الْمَدِينَةَ، فَانْطَلَقَ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ سَهْلٍ وَحُوَيِّصَةُ وَمُحَيِّصَةُ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَذَهَبَ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ يَتَكَلَّمُ وَهُوَ أَحْدَثُ الْقَوْمِ سِنًّا، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «كَبِّرْ الْكُبْرَ» فَسَكَتَ، فَتَكَلَّمَا، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «أَتَحْلِفُونَ بِخَمْسِينَ يَمِينًا مِنْكُمْ، فَتَسْتَحِقُّونَ دَمَ صَاحِبِكُمْ أَوْ قَاتِلِكُمْ؟» قَالُوا: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، كَيْفَ نَحْلِفُ وَلَمْ نَشْهَدْ وَلَمْ نَرَ؟ قَالَ: «تُبَرِّئُكُمْ يَهُودُ بِخَمْسِينَ يَمِينًا» قَالُوا: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، كَيْفَ نَأْخُذُ أَيْمَانَ قَوْمٍ كُفَّارٍ؟ فَعَقَلَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مِنْ عِنْدِهِ
