4722. It was narrated from Bushair bin Yasâr that ‘Abdullâh bin Sahl Al-Anşârî and Muḥayyşah bin Mas’ûd went out to Khaibar, where they went their separate ways to go about their business. ‘Abdullâh bin Sahl was killed, and Muḥayyşah came (to Madinah) and went with his brother Ḥuwayyşah and ‘Abdur-Raḥmân bin Sahl to the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ. ‘Abdur-Raḥmân started to speak, because of his position as brother (of the slain man) but the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said: “Let the elders speak first.” So Ḥuwayyşah and Muḥayyşah spoke, and told him about what happened to ‘Abdullâh bin Sahl. The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said to them: “Will you swear fifty oaths, then you will receive compensation or be entitled to retaliate?” (In his narration) Mâlik said: “Yahya said: ‘Bushair said that the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ paid the blood money himself, but Sa’eed bin ‘Ubaid Aṭ-Ṭâ’î disagreed with them (in reporting that).”’ (Sahîh) ٨٧٨.
