4715. It was narrated from Abû Laila bin 'Abdullâh bin 'Abdur-Raḥmân bin Sahl, from Sahl bin Abî Ḥathmah, that he informed him, and some men among the elders of his people, that 'Abdullâh bin Sahl and Muḥayyâh set out for Khaibar because of some problem that had arisen. Someone came to Muḥayyâh, and he told him that 'Abdullâh bin Sahl had been killed and thrown into a pit or well. He came to the Jews and said: "By Allâh, you killed him." They said: "By Allâh, we did not kill him."
Then he went back to his people and told them about that. Then he and his brother Huwayysah, who was older than him, and 'Abdur-Raḥmân bin Sahl, came (to the Prophet ﷺ). Muḥayyṣah, who was the one who had been at Khaibar, began to speak, but the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said: "Let the elder speak first." So Huwayyṣah spoke, then Muḥayyṣah spoke. The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said: "Either (the Jews) will pay the Diyah for your companion, or war will be declared on them." The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ sent a letter to that effect (to the Jews) and they wrote back saying: "By Allâh, we did not kill him." The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said to Huwayyṣah, Muḥayyṣah and 'Abdur-Raḥmân: "Will you swear an oath establishing your claim to the blood money of your companion?" They said: "No." He said: "Should the Jews swear an oath for you?" They said: "They are not Muslims." So the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ paid it himself, and he sent one hundred she-camels to their abodes. Sahl said: "A red she-camel from among them kicked me."

4711 - أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ، قَالَ: أَنْبَأَنَا ابْنُ الْقَاسِمِ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي مَالِكٌ، عَنْ أَبِي لَيْلَى بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ سَهْلٍ، عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ أَبِي حَثْمَةَ، أَنَّهُ أَخْبَرَهُ وَرِجَالٌ كُبَرَاءُ مِنْ قَوْمِهِ، أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ سَهْلٍ وَمُحَيِّصَةَ خَرَجَا إِلَى خَيْبَرَ مِنْ جَهْدٍ أَصَابَهُمْ، فَأَتَى مُحَيِّصَةُ فَأَخْبَرَ، أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ سَهْلٍ قَدْ قُتِلَ وَطُرِحَ فِي فَقِيرٍ أَوْ عَيْنٍ، فَأَتَى يَهُودَ. وَقَالَ: أَنْتُمْ وَاللَّهِ قَتَلْتُمُوهُ، قَالُوا: وَاللَّهِ مَا قَتَلْنَاهُ. فَأَقْبَلَ حَتَّى قَدِمَ عَلَى قَوْمِهِ، فَذَكَرَ لَهُمْ، ثُمَّ أَقْبَلَ هُوَ وَأَخُوهُ حُوَيِّصَةُ وَهُوَ أَكْبَرُ مِنْهُ وَعَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ سَهْلٍ، فَذَهَبَ مُحَيِّصَةُ لِيَتَكَلَّمَ وَهُوَ الَّذِي كَانَ بِخَيْبَرَ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لِمُحَيِّصَةَ: «كَبِّرْ كَبِّرْ» يُرِيدُ السِّنَّ فَتَكَلَّمَ حُوَيِّصَةُ، ثُمَّ تَكَلَّمَ مُحَيِّصَةُ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «إِمَّا أَنْ يَدُوا صَاحِبَكُمْ، وَإِمَّا أَنْ يُؤْذَنُوا بِحَرْبٍ»، فَكَتَبَ إِلَيْهِمْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي ذَلِكَ، فَكَتَبُوا إِنَّا وَاللَّهِ مَا قَتَلْنَاهُ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لِحُوَيِّصَةَ وَمُحَيِّصَةَ وَعَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ: «أَتَحْلِفُونَ وَتَسْتَحِقُّونَ دَمَ صَاحِبِكُمْ؟» قَالُوا: لَا. قَالَ: «فَتَحْلِفُ لَكُمْ يَهُودُ» قَالُوا: لَيْسُوا بِمُسْلِمِينَ فَوَدَاهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مِنْ عِنْدِهِ فَبَعَثَ إِلَيْهِمْ بِمِائَةِ نَاقَةٍ حَتَّى أُدْخِلَتْ عَلَيْهِمُ الدَّارَ، قَالَ سَهْلٌ: لَقَدْ رَكَضَتْنِي مِنْهَا نَاقَةٌ حَمْرَاءُ
