Bayhaqi 16439 — The basis of qasamah, and beginning with the oaths

وَأَمَّا الْحَدِيثُ الَّذِي أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ، وَأَبُو سَعِيدِ بْنُ أَبِي عَمْرٍو، قَالَا: ثنا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ، ثنا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْجَبَّارِ، ثنا يُونُسُ بْنُ ⦗٢١٠⦘ بُكَيْرٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ إِسْحَاقَ، حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ التَّيْمِيُّ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ بُجَيْدِ بْنِ قَيْظِيٍّ، أَخِي بَنِي حَارِثَةَ، قَالَ ابْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ: وَايْمُ اللهِ، مَا كَانَ سَهْلٌ بِأَكْثَرَ عِلْمًا مِنْهُ، وَلَكِنَّهُ كَانَ أَسَنَّ مِنْهُ، إِنَّهُ قَالَ لَهُ: وَاللهِ مَا هَكَذَا كَانَ الشَّانُ، وَلَكِنْ سَهْلٌ أَوْهَمَ مَا قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: احْلِفُوا عَلَى مَا لَا عِلْمَ لَكُمْ بِهِ، وَلَكِنَّهُ كَتَبَ إِلَى يَهُودَ خَيْبَرَ حِينَ كَلَّمَتْهُ الْأَنْصَارُ: أَنَّهُ وُجِدَ فِيكُمْ قَتِيلٌ بَيْنَ أَبْيَاتِكُمْ فَدُوهُ، فَكَتَبُوا إِلَيْهِ يَحْلِفُونَ بِاللهِ مَا قَتَلُوهُ وَلَا يَعْلَمُونَ لَهُ قَاتِلًا، فَوَدَاهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مِنْ عِنْدِهِ.
It is narrated from Abd al-Rahman bin Bujayd bin Qayzi, of Banu Harithah — Ibn Ibrahim said: By Allah, Sahl (may Allah be pleased with him) was not more knowledgeable than him, but he was older than him — that he said to him: By Allah, the matter was not like this; rather, Sahl (may Allah be pleased with him) was mistaken. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) did not say: "Swear to what you have no knowledge of." Rather, when the Ansar (may Allah be pleased with them) spoke to him, he (peace and blessings be upon him) wrote to the Jews of Khaybar: "A slain man has been found among you, between your houses, so pay his blood money." They wrote back to him, swearing by Allah that they had not killed him and did not know who his killer was. So the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) paid his blood money from his own funds.
