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 " .
Narrated Rafi ibn Khadij: A man of the Ansar was killed at Khaybar and his relatives went to the Prophet ﷺ 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 ﷺ paid the blood-wit himself.

Benefits and Issues:
The correct and preferred opinion is that first, fifty people from among the claimants will take oaths to establish their claim; then, oaths and so on will be taken from the opposing party.
