English translation

4720. It was narrated from Sahl bin Abî Hathmah that 'Abdullâh bin Sahl Al-Anshârî and Muḥayyâh bin Mas'ûd went out to Khaibar and went their separate ways to go about their business. 'Abdullâh bin Sahl Al-Anshârî was killed, and Muḥayyâh, 'Abdur-Rahmân, who was the brother of the victim, and Huwayyâh, came to the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ. 'Abdur-Rahmân started to speak, but the Prophet ﷺ said to him: "Let the elders speak first." So Muḥayyâh and Huwayyâh spoke and told him about the case of 'Abdullâh bin Sahl. The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said: "Will you swear fifty oaths, then you will receive compensation or be entitled to retaliate?" They said: "How can we swear an oath when we did not witness (what happened) and we were not there?" The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ 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. (One of the narrators) Bushair said: "Sahl bin Abî Ḥathmah told me: 'One of those camels kicked me in a Mirbad of ours.'" (Šahîh)

4716 - أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَهَّابِ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ يَحْيَى بْنَ سَعِيدٍ، يَقُولُ: أَخْبَرَنِي بُشَيْرُ بْنُ يَسَارٍ، عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ أَبِي حَثْمَةَ، أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ سَهْلٍ الْأَنْصَارِيَّ، وَمُحَيِّصَةَ بْنَ مَسْعُودٍ، خَرَجَا إِلَى خَيْبَرَ، فَتَفَرَّقَا فِي حَاجَتِهِمَا، فَقُتِلَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ سَهْلٍ الْأَنْصَارِيُّ، فَجَاءَ مُحَيِّصَةُ وَعَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ أَخُو الْمَقْتُولِ وَحُوَيِّصَةُ بْنُ مَسْعُودٍ حَتَّى أَتَوْا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَذَهَبَ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ يَتَكَلَّمُ، فَقَالَ لَهُ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «الْكُبْرَ الْكُبْرَ» فَتَكَلَّمَ مُحَيِّصَةُ وَحُوَيِّصَةُ، فَذَكَرُوا شَأْنَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ سَهْلٍ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «تَحْلِفُونَ خَمْسِينَ يَمِينًا، فَتَسْتَحِقُّونَ قَاتِلَكُمْ؟» قَالُوا: كَيْفَ نَحْلِفُ، وَلَمْ نَشْهَدْ، وَلَمْ نَحْضُرْ؟ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «فَتُبَرِّئُكُمْ يَهُودُ بِخَمْسِينَ يَمِينًا» قَالُوا: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، كَيْفَ نَقْبَلُ أَيْمَانَ قَوْمٍ كُفَّارٍ؟ قَالَ: فَوَدَاهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: بُشَيْرٌ قَالَ لِي سَهْلُ بْنُ أَبِي حَثْمَةَ: لَقَدْ رَكَضَتْنِي فَرِيضَةٌ مِنْ تِلْكَ الْفَرَائِضِ فِي مِرْبَدٍ لَنَا
