Hadith 1538
حَدَّثَنِي يَحْيَى، عَنْ مَالِك، عَنْ أَبِي لَيْلَى بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ سَهْلٍ ، عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ أَبِي حَثْمَةَ ، أَنَّهُ أَخْبَرَهُ رِجَالٌ مِنْ كُبَرَاءِ قَوْمِهِ : أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ سَهْلٍ، وَمُحَيِّصَةَ خَرَجَا إِلَى خَيْبَرَ مِنْ جَهْدٍ أَصَابَهُمْ، فَأُتِيَ مُحَيِّصَةُ فَأُخْبِرَ أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ سَهْلٍ " قَدْ قُتِلَ وَطُرِحَ فِي فَقِيرِ بِئْرٍ أَوْ عَيْنٍ، فَأَتَى يَهُودَ، فَقَالَ : أَنْتُمْ وَاللَّهِ قَتَلْتُمُوهُ، فَقَالُوا : وَاللَّهِ مَا قَتَلْنَاهُ، فَأَقْبَلَ حَتَّى قَدِمَ عَلَى قَوْمِهِ فَذَكَرَ لَهُمْ ذَلِكَ، ثُمَّ أَقْبَلَ هُوَ وَأَخُوهُ حُوَيِّصَةُ وَهُوَ أَكْبَرُ مِنْهُ وَعَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ، فَذَهَبَ مُحَيِّصَةُ لِيَتَكَلَّمَ وَهُوَ الَّذِي كَانَ بِخَيْبَرَ، فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " كَبِّرْ كَبِّرْ "، يُرِيدُ السِّنَّ، فَتَكَلَّمَ حُوَيِّصَةُ ثُمَّ تَكَلَّمَ مُحَيِّصَةُ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " إِمَّا أَنْ يَدُوا صَاحِبَكُمْ وَإِمَّا أَنْ يُؤْذِنُوا بِحَرْبٍ "، فَكَتَبَ إِلَيْهِمْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي ذَلِكَ، فَكَتَبُوا : إِنَّا وَاللَّهِ مَا قَتَلْنَاهُ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لِحُوَيِّصَةَ، وَمُحَيِّصَةَ، وَعَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ : " أَتَحْلِفُونَ وَتَسْتَحِقُّونَ دَمَ صَاحِبِكُمْ ؟ " فَقَالُوا : لَا، قَالَ : " أَفَتَحْلِفُ لَكُمْ يَهُودُ ؟ " قَالُوا : لَيْسُوا بِمُسْلِمِينَ، فَوَدَاهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مِنْ عِنْدِهِ، فَبَعَثَ إِلَيْهِمْ بِمِائَةِ نَاقَةٍ حَتَّى أُدْخِلَتْ عَلَيْهِمُ الدَّارَ . قَالَ سَهْلٌ : لَقَدْ رَكَضَتْنِي مِنْهَا نَاقَةٌ حَمْرَاءُ . ¤قَالَ مَالِك : الْفَقِيرُ : هُوَ الْبِئْرُ
Some people, who were respected individuals of his tribe, informed Sahl bin Abi Hathmah that Abdullah bin Sahl and Muhayyisah had gone to Khaybar due to poverty and destitution. A man came to Muhayyisah and reported that Abdullah bin Sahl had been killed by someone and thrown into a well or a spring. Upon hearing this, Muhayyisah went to the Jews of Khaybar and said: "By Allah! You have killed him." The Jews replied: "By Allah! We did not kill him." Then Muhayyisah returned to his people and informed them. After that, Muhayyisah and his brother Huwayyisah, who was older than him, and Abdur Rahman bin Sahl (who was the brother of the murdered Abdullah bin Sahl) came to the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him. Muhayyisah wanted to speak because he was the one who had gone to Khaybar, but the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Respect the elders." So Huwayyisah spoke first, then Muhayyisah spoke. The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Either the Jews pay the blood money for your killed one or they will have to fight." Then the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, wrote to the Jews about this matter. They replied in writing: "By Allah! We did not kill him." Then the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said to Huwayyisah, Muhayyisah, and Abdur Rahman: "You swear that the Jews killed him, and then you will be entitled to the blood money." They said: "We will not swear." The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Alright, then if the Jews swear that they did not kill him?" They said: "O Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him! They are not Muslims." So the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, paid the blood money from his own side. Sahl says that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, sent one hundred camels to their homes; among them, a red she-camel kicked me (I still remember it).
