عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ أَبِي حَثْمَةَ، عَنْ رِجَالٍ مِنْ كُبَرَاءِ قَوْمِهِ

أَنَّ عَبْدَ اَللَّهِ بْنَ سَهْلٍ ومُحَيِّصَةَ بْنَ مَسْعُودٍ خَرَجَا إِلَى خَيْبَرَ مِنْ جَهْدٍ أَصَابَهُمْ، فَأُتِيَ مَحَيِّصَةُ فَأُخْبِرَ أَنَّ عَبْدَ اَللَّهِ بْنِ سَهْلِ قَدْ قُتِلَ، وَطُرِحَ فِي عَيْنٍ، فَأَتَى يَهُودَ، فَقَالَ: أَنْتُمْ وََاللَّهِ قَتَلْتُمُوهُ.

قَالُوا: وََاللَّهِ مَا قَتَلْنَاهُ، فَأَقْبَلَ هُوَ وَأَخُوهُ حُوَيِّصَةُ وَعَبْدُ اَلرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ سَهْلٍ، فَذَهَبَ مُحَيِّصَةُ لَيَتَكَلَّمَ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اَللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ -«كَبِّرْ كَبِّرْ«يُرِيدُ: اَلسِّنَّ، فَتَكَلَّمَ حُوَيِّصَةُ، ثُمَّ تَكَلَّمَ مُحَيِّصَةُ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اَللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ -«إِمَّا أَنْ يَدُوا صَاحِبَكُمْ، وَإِمَّا أَنْ يَأْذَنُوا بِحَرْبٍ».

فَكَتَبَ إِلَيْهِمْ فِي ذَلِكَ. فَكَتَبُوا: إِنَّا وََاللَّهِ مَا قَتَلْنَاهُ، فَقَالَ لِحُوَيِّصَةَ، وَمُحَيِّصَةُ، وَعَبْدِ اَلرَّحْمَنِ بْنَ سَهْلٍ: «أَتَحْلِفُونَ، وَتَسْتَحِقُّونَ دَمَ صَاحِبَكُمْ?«قَالُوا: لَا.

قَالَ: «فَتَحْلِفُ لَكُمْ يَهُودُ?«قَالُوا: لَيْسُوا مُسْلِمِينَ فَوَدَاهُ رَسُولَ اَللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: مِنْ عِنْدِهِ، فَبَعَثَ إِلَيْهِمْ مَائَةَ نَاقَةٍ. قَالَ سَهْلٌ: فَلَقَدْ رَكَضَتْنِي مِنْهَا نَاقَةٌ حَمْرَاءُ»

“Either they pay the Diyah of your companion or be ready for war.” The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) wrote to them about this and they wrote back saying, ‘By Allah, we have not killed him.’ The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) then said to Huwaiysah, Muhaiysah and Abdur Rahman ibn Sahl, “Would you take an oath (that they killed him) and then you will be entitled to the Diyah of your companion” ‘They answered, ‘No (as they did not witness the crime).’The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) then said, ‘Then the Jews should take an oath (that they are innocent).’

They said, ‘They are not Muslims.’ The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) thereupon paid the Diyah of the victim himself and sent them 100 camels. Sahl commented, ‘A red she-camel (of these 100 camels) kicked me.’ Agreed upon.’
