Narrated Abu Salamah bin Abdur-Rahman and Sulaiman bin Yasar: On the authority of some men of the Ansar: The Prophet ﷺ said to the Jews and started with them: Fifty of you should take the oaths. But they refused (to take the oaths). He then said to the Ansar: Prove your claim. They said: Do we take the oaths without seeing, Messenger of Allah? The Messenger of Allah ﷺ then imposed the blood-wit on the Jews because he (the slain) was found among them.

Benefits and Issues:
This narration is weak; the blood money (diyah) of that murdered person was paid by the Messenger (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) from the public treasury (bayt al-mal), as has been mentioned in the previous ahadith.
