Sahl bin Abi Khaithamah (RAA) narrated on the authority of some honored men from his people that 'Abdullah bin Sahl and Muhaiysah bin Mas'ud, went out to Khaibar because of a hardship they were undergoing. Muhaiysah came and told them that 'Abdullah bin Sahl had been killed and thrown into a well. He came to the Jews and said to them, ‘I swear by Allah that you have killed him.’ They replied, ‘We swear by Allah that we have not killed him.' Then Muhaiysah came along with his brother Huwaiysah and 'Abdur Rahman bin Sahl to the Prophet ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) and Muhaiysah started to talk. The Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said to him,“Let an older one speak (take charge of this matter).”So Huwaiysah narrated what happened and then Muhaiysah spoke. The Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said:“Either they pay the Diyah of your companion or be ready for war.”The Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) wrote to them about this and they wrote back saying, ‘By Allah, we have not killed him.’ The Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) then said to Huwaiysah, Muhaiysah and 'Abdur Rahman bin Sahl,“Would you take an oath (that they killed him) and then you will be entitled to the Diyah of your companion”'They answered, ‘No (as they did not witness the crime).’The Messenger of Allah then said,“Then the Jews should take an oath (that they are innocent).”They said, ‘They are not Muslims.’ The Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) thereupon paid the Diyah of the victim himself and sent them 100 camels. Sahl commented, ‘A red she-camel (of these 100 camels) kicked me.’ Agreed upon.
