حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ بْنِ مَيْسَرَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ الْمَعْنَى، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَا:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ بَشَيْرِ بْنِ يَسَارٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ أَبِي حَثْمَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَرَافِعِ بْنِ خَدِيجٍ:‏‏‏‏ أَنَّ مُحَيِّصَةَ بْنَ مَسْعُودٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَعَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ سَهْلٍ انْطَلَقَا قِبَلَ خَيْبَرَ فَتَفَرَّقَا فِي النَّخْلِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقُتِلَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ سَهْلٍ فَاتَّهَمُوا الْيَهُودَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَجَاءَ أَخُوهُ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ سَهْلٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَابْنَا عَمِّهِ حُوَيِّصَةُ وَمُحَيِّصَةُ فَأَتَوْا النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَتَكَلَّمَ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ فِي أَمْرِ أَخِيهِ وَهُوَ أَصْغَرُهُمْ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ:‏‏‏‏ الْكُبْرَ الْكُبْرَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَوْ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ لِيَبْدَإِ الْأَكْبَرُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَتَكَلَّمَا فِي أَمْرِ صَاحِبِهِمَا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ:‏‏‏‏ يُقْسِمُ خَمْسُونَ مِنْكُمْ عَلَى رَجُلٍ مِنْهُمْ فَيُدْفَعُ بِرُمَّتِهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالُوا:‏‏‏‏ أَمْرٌ لَمْ نَشْهَدْهُ كَيْفَ نَحْلِفُ ؟ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ فَتُبَرِّئُكُمْ يَهُودُ بِأَيْمَانِ خَمْسِينَ مِنْهُمْ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالُوا:‏‏‏‏ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَوْمٌ كُفَّارٌ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ فَوَدَاهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مِنْ قِبَلِهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ سَهْلٌ:‏‏‏‏ دَخَلْتُ مِرْبَدًا لَهُمْ يَوْمًا فَرَكَضَتْنِي نَاقَةٌ مِنْ تِلْكَ الْإِبِلِ رَكْضَةً بِرِجْلِهَا ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ حَمَّادٌ هَذَا أَوْ نَحْوَهُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُد:‏‏‏‏ رَوَاهُ بِشْرُ بْنُ الْمُفَضَّلِ وَمَالِكٌ عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ فِيهِ أَتَحْلِفُونَ خَمْسِينَ يَمِينًا وَتَسْتَحِقُّونَ دَمَ صَاحِبِكُمْ أَوْ قَاتِلِكُمْ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَلَمْ يَذْكُرْ بِشْرٌ دَمًا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وقَالَ عَبْدَةُ:‏‏‏‏ عَنْ يَحْيَى، ‏‏‏‏‏‏كَمَا قَالَ حَمَّادٌ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَرَوَاهُ ابْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ عَنْ يَحْيَى، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَبَدَأَ بِقَوْلِهِ:‏‏‏‏ تُبَرِّئُكُمْ يَهُودُ بِخَمْسِينَ يَمِينًا يَحْلِفُونَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَلَمْ يَذْكُرِ الِاسْتِحْقَاقَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُد:‏‏‏‏ وَهَذَا وَهْمٌ مِنِ ابْنِ عُيَيْنَةَ.

Muhayyasah bin Masud and Abdullah bin Sahl came to Khaibar and parted (from each other) among palm trees. Abdullah bin Sahl was killed. The Jews were blamed (for the murder). Abdur-Rahman bin Sahl and Huwayyasah and Muhayyasah, the sons of his uncle (Masud) came to the Prophet صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم. Abdur-Rahman, who was the youngest, spoke about his brother, but the Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم said to him: (Respect) the elder, (respect) the elder or he said: Let the eldest begin. They then spoke about their friend and the Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم said: Fifty of you should take oaths regarding a man from them (the Jews) and he should be entrusted (to him) with his rope (in his neck). They said: It is a matter which we did not see. How can we take oaths ? He said: The Jews exonerate themselves by the oaths of fifty of them. They said: Messenger of Allah! they are a people who are infidels. So the Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم paid them bloodwit himself. Sahl said: Once I entered the resting place of their camels, and the she-camel struck me with her lef. Hammad said this or (something) similar to it. Abu Dawud said: Another version transmitted by Yahya bin Saeed has: Would you swear fifty oaths and make you claim regarding your friend or your slain man ? Bishr, the transmitter, did mention blood. Abdah transmitted it from Yahya as transmitted by Hammad. Ibn Uyainah has also transmitted it from Yahya, and began with his words: The Jew will exonerate themselves by fifty oaths which they will swear. He did not mention the claim. Abu Dawud said: This is a misunderstanding on the part of Ibn Uyainah.
