حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ يُوسُفَ، أَخْبَرَنَا مَالِكٌ، عَنْ أَبِي لَيْلَى، ح حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ، حَدَّثَنِي مَالِكٌ، عَنْ أَبِي لَيْلَى بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ سَهْلٍ، عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ أَبِي حَثْمَةَ، أَنَّهُ أَخْبَرَهُ هُوَ، وَرِجَالٌ، مِنْ كُبَرَاءِ قَوْمِهِ أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ سَهْلٍ وَمُحَيِّصَةَ خَرَجَا إِلَى خَيْبَرَ مِنْ جَهْدٍ أَصَابَهُمْ، فَأُخْبِرَ مُحَيِّصَةُ أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ قُتِلَ وَطُرِحَ فِي فَقِيرٍ أَوْ عَيْنٍ، فَأَتَى يَهُودَ فَقَالَ أَنْتُمْ وَاللَّهِ قَتَلْتُمُوهُ. قَالُوا مَا قَتَلْنَاهُ وَاللَّهِ. ثُمَّ أَقْبَلَ حَتَّى قَدِمَ عَلَى قَوْمِهِ فَذَكَرَ لَهُمْ، وَأَقْبَلَ هُوَ وَأَخُوهُ حُوَيِّصَةُ ـ وَهْوَ أَكْبَرُ مِنْهُ ـ وَعَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ سَهْلٍ، فَذَهَبَ لِيَتَكَلَّمَ وَهْوَ الَّذِي كَانَ بِخَيْبَرَ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ 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 بِهِ، فَكُتِبَ مَا قَتَلْنَاهُ. فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم لِحُوَيِّصَةَ وَمُحَيِّصَةَ وَعَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ ” أَتَحْلِفُونَ وَتَسْتَحِقُّونَ دَمَ صَاحِبِكُمْ ”. قَالُوا لاَ. قَالَ ” أَفَتَحْلِفُ لَكُمْ يَهُودُ ”. قَالُوا لَيْسُوا بِمُسْلِمِينَ. فَوَدَاهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم مِنْ عِنْدِهِ مِائَةَ نَاقَةٍ حَتَّى أُدْخِلَتِ الدَّارَ. قَالَ سَهْلٌ فَرَكَضَتْنِي مِنْهَا نَاقَةٌ.
Narrated Abu Laila bin `Abdullah bin `Abdur-Rahman bin Sahl:
Sahl bin Abi Hathma and some great men of his tribe said, `Abdullah bin ‘Sahl and Muhaiyisa went
out to Khaibar as they were struck with poverty and difficult living conditions. Then Muhaiyisa was
informed that `Abdullah had been killed and thrown in a pit or a spring. Muhaiyisa went to the Jews
and said, “By Allah, you have killed my companion.” The Jews said, “By Allah, we have not killed
him.” Muhaiyisa then came back to his people and told them the story. He, his elder brother
Huwaiyisa and `Abdur-Rahman bin Sahl came (to the Prophet) and he who had been at Khaibar,
proceeded to speak, but the Prophet (ﷺ) said to Muhaiyisa, “The eldest! The eldest!” meaning, “Let the
eldest of you speak.” So Huwaiyisa spoke first and then Muhaiyisa. Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) said, “The Jews
should either pay the blood money of your (deceased) companion or be ready for war.” After that
Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) wrote a letter to the Jews in that respect, and they wrote that they had not killed him.
Then Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) said to Huwaiyisa, Muhaiyisa and `Abdur-Rahman, “Can you take an oath by
which you will be entitled to take the blood money?” They said, “No.” He said (to them), “Shall we
ask the Jews to take an oath before you?” They replied, “But the Jews are not Muslims.” So Allah’s
Apostle gave them one-hundred she-camels as blood money from himself. Sahl added: When those
she-camels were made to enter the house, one of them kicked me with its leg.
