Narrated Bashir bin Yasar: That a man of the Ansar called Sahl bin Abi Hathmah told him that some people of his tribe went to Khaibar and separated there. They found one of them slain. They said to those with whom they had found him: You have killed our friend. They replied: We did not kill him, nor do we know the slayer. We (the people of the slain) then went to the Prophet of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم . He said to them: Bring proof against the one who has slain him. They replied: We have no proof. He said: Then they will take an oath for you. They said: We do not accept the oaths of the Jews. The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم did not like no responsibility should be fixed for his blood. So he himself paid his bloodwit consisting of one hundred camels of sadaqah (i. e. camels sent to the Prophet as zakat).

Narrated Rafi ibn Khadij: A man of the Ansar was killed at Khaybar and his relatives went to the Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم and mentioned that to him. He asked: Have you two witnesses who can testify to the murderer of your friend? They replied: Messenger of Allah! there was not a single Muslim present, but only Jews who sometimes have the audacity to do even greater crimes than this. He said: Then choose fifty of them and demand that they take an oath; but they refused and the Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم paid the blood-wit himself.

Narrated Abdur-Rahman bin Bujaid: I swear by Allah, Sahl had a misunderstanding about this tradition. The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم wrote to the Jews: A slain man has been found amongnst you, so pay his bloodwit. They wrote (to him): Swearing by Allah fifty oaths, we neither killed him nor do we know his slayer. He said: Then the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم himself paid his bloodwit which consisted of one hundred she-camels.

Narrated Abu Salamah bin Abdur-Rahman and Sulaiman bin Yasar: On the authority of some men of the Ansar: The Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم said to the Jews and started with them: Fifty of you should take the oaths. But they refused (to take the oaths). He then said to the Ansar: Prove your claim. They said: Do we take the oaths without seeing, Messenger of Allah? The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم then imposed the blood-wit on the Jews because he (the slain) was found among them.
