حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى ، قَالَ : ثنا أَبُو النُّعْمَانِ ، قَالَ : ثنا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ ، قَالَ : ثنا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ ، عَنْ بَشِيرِ بْنِ يَسَارٍ ، عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ أَبِي حَثْمَةَ ، وَرَافِعِ بْنِ خَدِيجٍ ، أَنَّهُمَا حَدَّثَاهُ أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ سَهْلٍ وَمُحَيِّصَةَ بْنَ مَسْعُودٍ أتيا خيبر لحاجة ، فتفرقا في نخلها ، فقتل عبد الله بن سهل ، فأتى أخوه النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ سَهْلٍ وَابْنَا عَمِّهِ مُحَيِّصَةُ وَحُوَيِّصَةُ ابْنَا مَسْعُودٍ فَبَدَأَ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ يَتَكَلَّمُ ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : كَبِّرِ الْكُبْرَ ، يَقُولُ : يَبْدَأُ بِالْكَلامِ الأَكْبَرُ ، وَكَانَ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ أَصْغَرَ مِنْ صَاحِبَيْهِ ، فَتَكَلَّمَا فِي قَتْلِ صَاحِبِهِمَا ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " اسْتَحِقُّوا قَتِيلَكُمْ وَصَاحِبَكُمْ بِأَيْمَانِ خَمْسِينَ مِنْكُمْ ، فَقَالُوا : لَمْ نَشْهَدْ فَكَيْفَ نَحْلِفُ ؟ فَقَالَ : تُبَرِّئُكُمْ يَهُودُ بِأَيْمَانِ خَمْسِينَ مِنْهُمْ ، فَقَالُوا : قَوْمٌ كُفَّارٌ ، قَالَ : فَوَادَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، قَالَ سَهْلٌ : فَأَدْرَكْتُ نَاقَةً مِنَ الإِبِلِ رَكَضَتْنِي رَكْضَةً مِنْ مِرْبَدٍ لَهُمْ " .
Sayyiduna Sahl bin Abi Hathmah and Sayyiduna Rafi’ bin Khadij (may Allah be pleased with them) narrate that Abdullah bin Sahl and Muhayyisah bin Mas’ud set out towards Khaybar for some need, and in its orchard they separated from each other. Abdullah bin Sahl was killed. Then his brother Abdur Rahman bin Sahl and two sons of his uncle, Huwayyisah and Muhayyisah bin Mas’ud, came to the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him). Abdur Rahman bin Sahl began to speak, but the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: Let the elder speak. He (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) was saying: Let the elder begin to speak. Abdur Rahman was the youngest of them. So they spoke about the killing of their companion. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: Fifty men from among you should swear oaths and become entitled to the blood money of your companion or the slain. They said: How can we swear oaths when we were not present there? He said: Then fifty men from among the Jews will swear oaths and be acquitted from you. They said: But they are disbelieving people. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) paid the blood money. Sahl says: I caught one of the she-camels from among those camels, and it kicked me in the enclosure.
