It was narrated from Abu Laila bin ‘Abdullah bin ‘Abdur Rahman bin Sahl, from Sahl bin Abi Hathmah, that he informed him, and some men among the elders of his people, that ‘Abdullah bin Sahl and Muhayysah set out for Khaibar because of some problem that had arisen. Someone came to Muhayy and he told him that ‘Abdullah bin Sahl had been killed and thrown into a pit or well. He came to the Jews and said: “By Allah, you killed him.” They said: “By Allah, we did not kill him.” Then he went back to his people and told them about that. Then he and his brother Huwayysah, who was older than him, and ‘Abdur Rahman bin Sahi, came (to the Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم Muhayysah, who was the one who had been at Khaibar, began to speak, but the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم i said: “Let the elder speak first.” So Uuwayysah spoke, then Muhayysah spoke. The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم said: “Either (the Jews) will pay the Diyah for your companion, or war will be declared on them.” The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم sent a letter to that effect (to the Jews) and they wrote back saying: “By Allah, we did not kill him.” The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم said to Huwayysah, Muhayysah and ‘Abdur-Rahman: “Will you swear an oath establishing your claim to the blood money of your companion?” They said: “No.” He said: “Should the Jews swear an oath for you?” They said: “They are not Muslims.” So the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم paid it himself, and he sent one hundred she-camels to their abodes. Sahl said: “A red she-camel from among them kicked me.” (Sahih)
