وَأَمَّا الْأَثَرُ الَّذِي أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو حَازِمٍ الْحَافِظُ، أنبأ أَبُو الْفَضْلِ بْنُ خَمِيرَوَيْهِ، أنبأ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ نَجْدَةَ، ثنا سَعِيدُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ، ثنا أَبُو عَوَانَةَ، عَنْ مُغِيرَةَ، عَنْ عَامِرٍ يَعْنِي الشَّعْبِيَّ، أَنَّ قَتِيلًا وُجِدَ فِي خَرِبَةِ وَادِعَةِ هَمْدَانَ، فَرُفِعَ إِلَى عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ، فَأَحْلَفَهُمْ خَمْسِينَ يَمِينًا: مَا قَتَلْنَا وَلَا عَلِمْنَا قَاتِلًا، ثُمَّ غَرَّمَهُمُ الدِّيَةَ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: يَا مَعْشَرَ هَمْدَانَ حَقَنْتُمْ دِمَاءَكُمْ بِأَيْمَانِكُمْ، فَمَا يَبْطُلُ دَمُ هَذَا الرَّجُلِ الْمُسْلِمِ.
Imam al-Sha'bi (may Allah have mercy on him) said: A slain man was found in the territory of Hamdan, and the case was brought to Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him). They swore fifty oaths about it: "We did not kill him, nor do we know (the killer)." Then he (may Allah be pleased with him) imposed the blood money on them as a fine and said: "O people of Hamdan, by your oaths you have been cleared of his blood, but I cannot let the blood of a Muslim go to waste."
