This hadith has been narrated from Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) through other chains of transmitters.

Sahl. bin Abu Hathma and Rafi' bin Khadij reported that Muhayyisa bin Mas'ud and 'Abdullah bin Sahl went towards Khaibar and they separated near the palm-trees. 'Abdullah bin Sahl was killed. They accused the Jews (for this act). And there came to Allah's Apostle ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) his brother (the brother of the slain person) 'Abdul Rahman and his cousins Huwayyisa and Muhayyisa; and 'Abdul Rahman talked to him about the matter pertaining to (the murder of) his brother, and he was the youngest among them. Thereupon Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said: Show regard for the greatness of the old, or he said: Let the eldest begin speaking. Then they (Huwayyisa and Muhayyisa) spoke about the matter of their companion (murder of their cousin, 'Abdullah bin Sahl). Thereupon Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said: Let fifty (persons) among you take oath for levelling the charge (of murder) against a person amongst them, and he would be surrendered to you. They said: We have not witnessed this matter ourselves. How can we then take oath? He (the Holy Prophet) said: The Jews will exonerate themselves by the oaths of fifty of them. They said: Messenger of Allah, they are non-believing people. Thereupon Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) paid the blood wit for him. Sahl said: As one day I entered the fold a she-camel amongst those camels hit me with its leg.

Sahl bin Abu Hathma has narrated this hadith through another chain of transmitters with a slight variation of words, but no mention has been made of the hitting by the she-camel.

This hadith has been narrated on the authority of Sahl bin Abu Hathma through another chain of transmitters.

Bushair bin Yasar reported that 'Abdullah bin Sahl bin Zaid and Muhayyisa bin Mas'ud bin Zaid, both of them were Ansar belonging to the tribe of Banu Haritha, set out to Khaibar during the lifetime of Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) . There was peace during those days and (this place) was inhabited by the Jews. They parted company for their (respective) needs. 'Abdullah B.Sahl was killed, and his dead body was found in a tank. His companion (Muhayyisa) buried him and came to Madinah, and the brothers of the slain 'Abdul Rahman bin Sahl. and Muhayyisa and Huwayyisa told Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) the case of 'Abdullah and the place where he had been murdered. Bushair reported on the authority of one who had seen Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) that he had said to them: You take fifty oaths and you are entitled to blood-wit of (one) slain among you (or your companion). They said: Messenger of Allah, we neither saw (with our own eyes this murder) nor were we present there. Thereupon (Allah's Messenger is reported to have said: Then the Jews will exonerate themselves by taking fifty oaths. They said: Allah's Messenger, how can we accept the oath of unbelieving people? Bushair said that Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) paid the blood-wit himself.

Bushair bin Yasar reported that a person from the Ansar belonging to the tribe of Banu Haritha who was called 'Abdullah bin Sahl bin Zaid set out and the son of his uncle called Muhayyisa bin Mas'ud bin Zaid, the rest of the hadith is the same up to the words: "Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) paid the blood-wit himself." Bushair bin Yasar reported that Sahl bin Abu Hathma said: One camel amongst the camels paid as blood-wit kicked me while I was in the (camel) enclosure.

Bushair bin Yasar al-Ansari reported on the authority of Sahl bin Abu Hathma al-Ansari that some men (of his tribe went to Khaibar, and they were separated from one another, and they found one of them slain. The rest of the hadith is the same. And it was said in this connection: Allah's Messenger (may peace be him) did not approve of his blood go waste. He paid blood-wit of one hundred camels of Sadaqa.

Abu Laila 'Abdullah bin 'Abdul Rahman bin Sahl reported that the elderly persons of (the tribe) had informed Sahl bin Abu Hathma that 'Abdullah bin Sahl and Muhayyisa went out to Khaibar under some distress which had afflicted them. Muhayyisa came and informed that Abdutlah bin Sahl had been killed, and (his dead body) had been thrown in a well or in a ditch. He came to the Jews and said: By Allah, it is you who have killed him. They said: By Allah, we have not killed him. He then came to his people, and made mention of that to them. Then came he and his brother Huwayyisa, and he was older than he, and 'Abdul Rahman bin Sahl. Then Muhayyisa went to speak, and it was he who had accompanied ('Abdullah) to Khaibar, whereupon Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said to Muhayyisa: Observe greatness of the great (he meant the seniority of age). Then Huwayyisa spoke and then Muhayyisa also spoke. Thereupon Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said: They should either pay blood-wit for your companion, or be prepared for war. Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) wrote about it to them (to the Jews). They wrote: Verily, by Allah, we have not killed him. Thereupon Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said to Huwayyisa and Muhayyisa and Abdul Rahman: Are you prepared to take oath in order to entitle yourselves for the blood-wit of your companion? They said: No. He (the Holy Prophet) said: Then the Jews will take oath (of their innocence). They said: They are not Muslims. Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) , however, himself paid the blood-wit to them and sent to them one hundred camels until they entered into their houses, Sahl said: One red she-camel among them kicked me.
