حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ عَلِيِّ بْنِ رَاشِدٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَخْبَرَنَا هُشَيْمٌ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَبِي حَيَّانَ التَّيْمِيِّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا عَبَايَةُ بْنُ رِفَاعَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ رَافِعِ بْنِ خَدِيجٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ أَصْبَحَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ الْأَنْصَارِ مَقْتُولًا بِخَيْبَرَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَانْطَلَقَ أَوْلِيَاؤُهُ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَذَكَرُوا ذَلِكَ لَهُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ:‏‏‏‏ لَكُمْ شَاهِدَانِ يَشْهَدَانِ عَلَى قَتْلِ صَاحِبِكُمْ ؟ قَالُوا:‏‏‏‏ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ لَمْ يَكُنْ ثَمَّ أَحَدٌ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ وَإِنَّمَا هُمْ يَهُودُ وَقَدْ يَجْتَرِئُونَ عَلَى أَعْظَمَ مِنْ هَذَا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ فَاخْتَارُوا مِنْهُمْ خَمْسِينَ فَاسْتَحْلَفُوهُمْ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَأَبَوْا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَوَدَاهُ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مِنْ عِنْدِهِ .

A man of the Ansar was killed at Khaybar and his relatives went to the Prophet صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم and mentioned that to him. He asked: Have you two witnesses who can testify to the murderer of your friend? They replied: Messenger of Allah! there was not a single Muslim present, but only Jews who sometimes have the audacity to do even greater crimes than this. He said: Then choose fifty of them and demand that they take an oath; but they refused and the Prophet صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم paid the blood-wit himself.
