Sahih Muslim Book - 28, Hadith - 4346

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مَسْلَمَةَ بْنِ قَعْنَبٍ حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ بِلاَلٍ عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ بُشَيْرِ بْنِ يَسَارٍ أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ سَهْلِ بْنِ زَيْدٍ وَمُحَيِّصَةَ بْنَ مَسْعُودِ بْنِ زَيْدٍ الأَنْصَارِيَّيْنِ ثُمَّ مِنْ بَنِى حَارِثَةَ خَرَجَا إِلَى خَيْبَرَ فِى زَمَانِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- وَهِىَ يَوْمَئِذٍ صُلْحٌ وَأَهْلُهَا يَهُودُ فَتَفَرَّقَا لِحَاجَتِهِمَا فَقُتِلَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ سَهْلٍ فَوُجِدَ فِى شَرَبَةٍ مَقْتُولاً فَدَفَنَهُ صَاحِبُهُ ثُمَّ أَقْبَلَ إِلَى الْمَدِينَةِ فَمَشَى أَخُو الْمَقْتُولِ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ سَهْلٍ وَمُحَيِّصَةُ وَحُوَيِّصَةُ فَذَكَرُوا لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- شَأْنَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ وَحَيْثُ قُتِلَ فَزَعَمَ بُشَيْرٌ وَهُوَ يُحَدِّثُ عَمَّنْ أَدْرَكَ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- أَنَّهُ قَالَ لَهُمْ « تَحْلِفُونَ خَمْسِينَ يَمِينًا وَتَسْتَحِقُّونَ قَاتِلَكُمْ ». أَوْ « صَاحِبَكُمْ ». قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَا شَهِدْنَا وَلاَ حَضَرْنَا. فَزَعَمَ أَنَّهُ قَالَ « فَتُبْرِئُكُمْ يَهُودُ بِخَمْسِينَ ». فَقَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ كَيْفَ نَقْبَلُ أَيْمَانَ قَوْمٍ كُفَّارٍ فَزَعَمَ بُشَيْرٌ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- عَقَلَهُ مِنْ عِنْدِهِ.

It was narrated from Bushair bin Yasar that 'Abdullah bin Sahl bin Zaid and Muhaisah bin Mas'ud bin Zaid, two Ansari men from the tribe of Banu Harithah, went out to Khaibar during the time of the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w). At that time there was a peace treaty, and its people were Jews. They parted to go about their business, and 'Abdullah bin Sahl was killed. He was found slain in a water tank. His companion buried him, then he came to Al-Madinah. The brother of the slain man, 'Abdur-Rahman bin Sahl, along with Muhaisah and Huwaisah, went and told the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) about 'Abdullah, and where he was killed. Bushair, who narrated this Hadith from one of the Companions of the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) whom he met, said that he (s.a.w) said to them: "Will you swear fifty oaths so that you will be entitled to the blood money?" They said: "O Messenger of Allah, we did not witness anything and we were not present." And he said, that he (s.a.w) said: "Will you let the Jews swear fifty times that they are innocent?" They said: "O Messenger of Allah, how can we accept the oaths of a disbelieving people?" Bushair said that the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) paid the blood money himself.
