Muwatta Imam Malik (Riwayat Ibn al-Qasim)

The elders of the tribe of Sayyiduna Sahl bin Abi Hathma (may Allah be pleased with him) informed him that Abdullah bin Sahl and Muhayyisa both went to Khaybar due to hunger. Muhayyisa came and reported that Abdullah bin Sahl had been killed and thrown near a well or a spring. Then he went to the Jews and said: "By Allah! You have killed him (Abdullah bin Sahl)." The Jews replied: "By Allah! We did not kill him." Then he returned to his people and informed them of this. Afterwards, he, his elder brother Huwayyisa (may Allah be pleased with him), and Abdur Rahman bin Sahl (may Allah be pleased with him) came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). When Muhayyisa, who had gone to Khaybar, tried to speak, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said to Muhayyisa: "Let the elder speak, let the older one speak." So Huwayyisa spoke, then Muhayyisa spoke. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Either they pay the blood money for your companion or be prepared for war." The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) wrote to the Jews, and they replied in writing: "By Allah! We did not kill him." Then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said to Huwayyisa, Muhayyisa, and Abdur Rahman: "Will you swear an oath and thus become entitled to your companion's blood?" They said: "No." The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Will you let the Jews swear an oath for you?" They said: "They are not Muslims." So the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) paid the blood money from his own side. He sent one hundred camels to them until they were brought into their home. Sahl (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "One of the red she-camels kicked me."
