حَدَّثَنِى إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ أَخْبَرَنَا بِشْرُ بْنُ عُمَرَ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ مَالِكَ بْنَ أَنَسٍ يَقُولُ حَدَّثَنِى أَبُو لَيْلَى بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ سَهْلٍ عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ أَبِى حَثْمَةَ أَنَّهُ أَخْبَرَهُ عَنْ رِجَالٍ مِنْ كُبَرَاءِ قَوْمِهِ أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ سَهْلٍ وَمُحَيِّصَةَ خَرَجَا إِلَى خَيْبَرَ مِنْ جَهْدٍ أَصَابَهُمْ فَأَتَى مُحَيِّصَةُ فَأَخْبَرَ أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ سَهْلٍ قَدْ قُتِلَ وَطُرِحَ فِى عَيْنٍ أَوْ فَقِيرٍ فَأَتَى يَهُودَ فَقَالَ أَنْتُمْ وَاللَّهِ قَتَلْتُمُوهُ. قَالُوا وَاللَّهِ مَا قَتَلْنَاهُ. ثُمَّ أَقْبَلَ حَتَّى قَدِمَ عَلَى قَوْمِهِ فَذَكَرَ لَهُمْ ذَلِكَ ثُمَّ أَقْبَلَ هُوَ وَأَخُوهُ حُوَيِّصَةُ وَهُوَ أَكْبَرُ مِنْهُ وَعَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ سَهْلٍ فَذَهَبَ مُحَيِّصَةُ لِيَتَكَلَّمَ وَهُوَ الَّذِى كَانَ بِخَيْبَرَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- لِمُحَيِّصَةَ « كَبِّرْ كَبِّرْ ». يُرِيدُ السِّنَّ فَتَكَلَّمَ حُوَيِّصَةُ ثُمَّ تَكَلَّمَ مُحَيِّصَةُ. فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- « إِمَّا أَنْ يَدُوا صَاحِبَكُمْ وَإِمَّا أَنْ يُؤْذِنُوا بِحَرْبٍ ». فَكَتَبَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- إِلَيْهِمْ فِى ذَلِكَ فَكَتَبُوا إِنَّا وَاللَّهِ مَا قَتَلْنَاهُ. فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- لِحُوَيِّصَةَ وَمُحَيِّصَةَ وَعَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ « أَتَحْلِفُونَ وَتَسْتَحِقُّونَ دَمَ صَاحِبِكُمْ ». قَالُوا لاَ. قَالَ « فَتَحْلِفُ لَكُمْ يَهُودُ ». قَالُوا لَيْسُوا بِمُسْلِمِينَ. فَوَدَاهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- مِنْ عِنْدِهِ فَبَعَثَ إِلَيْهِمْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- مِائَةَ نَاقَةٍ حَتَّى أُدْخِلَتْ عَلَيْهِمُ الدَّارَ. فَقَالَ سَهْلٌ فَلَقَدْ رَكَضَتْنِى مِنْهَا نَاقَةٌ حَمْرَاءُ.

It was narrated from Sahl bin Abi Hathmah that some of the elders of his people told him, that 'Abdullah bin Sahl and Muhaisah went out to Khaibar, because of some problem. Then Muhaisah came and said that 'Abdullah bin Sahl had been killed and thrown into a shallow well or ditch. He went to the Jews and said: "You killed him, by Allah." They said: "By Allah, we did not kill him." Then he went to his people and told them about that. Then he came with his brother Huwaisah, who was older than him, and 'Abdur-Rahman bin Sahl Mubaisah began to speak, as he was the one who had been in Khaibar, but the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said to Muhaisah: "Let the oldest speak." So Huwaisah spoke, then Muhaisah spoke, and the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said: "They should pay the Diyah for your companion or else expect war." The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) wrote to them about that, and they wrote back (saying): "By Allah we did not kill him." The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said to Huwaisah, Muhaisah, and 'Abdur-Rahman: "Will you swear, so that you will be entitled to Diyah for the blood of your companion?" They said: "No." He said: "Then should the Jews swear for you?" They said: "They are not Muslims." So the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) paid the blood money for him, and sent one hundred camels to them. Sahl said: "A red she-camel among them kicked me."
