أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَهَّابِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ سَمِعْتُ يَحْيَى بْنَ سَعِيدٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏يَقُولُ:‏‏‏‏ أَخْبَرَنِي بُشَيْرُ بْنُ يَسَارٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ أَبِي حَثْمَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ سَهْلٍ الْأَنْصَارِيَّ،‏‏‏‏ وَمُحَيِّصَةَ بْنَ مَسْعُودٍ خَرَجَا إِلَى خَيْبَرَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَتَفَرَّقَا فِي حَاجَتِهِمَا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقُتِلَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ سَهْلٍ الْأَنْصَارِيُّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَجَاءَ مُحَيِّصَةُ،‏‏‏‏ وَعَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ أَخُو الْمَقْتُولِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَحُوَيِّصَةُ بْنُ مَسْعُودٍ حَتَّى أَتَوْا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَذَهَبَ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ يَتَكَلَّمُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ لَهُ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ:‏‏‏‏ الْكُبْرَ الْكُبْرَ ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَتَكَلَّمَ مُحَيِّصَةُ،‏‏‏‏ وَحُوَيِّصَةُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَذَكَرُوا شَأْنَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ سَهْلٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ:‏‏‏‏ تَحْلِفُونَ خَمْسِينَ يَمِينًا فَتَسْتَحِقُّونَ قَاتِلَكُمْ ؟ ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالُوا:‏‏‏‏ كَيْفَ نَحْلِفُ وَلَمْ نَشْهَدْ وَلَمْ نَحْضُرْ ؟ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ:‏‏‏‏ فَتُبَرِّئُكُمْ يَهُودُ بِخَمْسِينَ يَمِينًا ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالُوا:‏‏‏‏ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏كَيْفَ نَقْبَلُ أَيْمَانَ قَوْمٍ كُفَّارٍ ؟ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ فَوَدَاهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ بُشَيْرٌ:‏‏‏‏ قَالَ لِي سَهْلُ بْنُ أَبِي حَثْمَةَ:‏‏‏‏ لَقَدْ رَكَضَتْنِي فَرِيضَةٌ مِنْ تِلْكَ الْفَرَائِضِ فِي مِرْبَدٍ لَنَا.

'Abdullah bin Sahi Al-Anasri and Muhayysah bin Mas'ud رضی اللہ عنہما went out to Khaibar and went their separate ways to go about their business. 'Abdullah bin Sahl Al-Anasari رضی اللہ عنہ was killed and Muhayysah. 'Abdur-Rahman, who was the brother of the victim, and Huwayysah, came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. 'Abdur-Rahman started to speak, but the prophet ﷺ said to him: Let the elders speak first. So Muhayysah and Huwayysah رضی اللہ عنہما spoke and told him about the case of 'Abdullah bin Sahl رضی اللہ عنہ . The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Will you swear fifty oaths, then you will receive compensation or be entitled to retaliate? They said: How can we swear an oath when we did not witness (what happened) and we were not there? The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Then can the Jews swear fifty oaths declaring their innocence? They said: O Messenger of Allah, how can we accept the oath of a disbelieving people? So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ paid the blood money himself. (One of the narrators) Bushair said: 'One of those camels kicked me in a Mirbad of ours. '
