حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ أَخْبَرَنَا مَعْمَرٌ عَنْ الزُّهْرِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ وَسُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ يَسَارٍ عَنْ رِجَالٍ مِنْ الْأَنْصَارِ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ لِلْيَهُودِ وَبَدَأَ بِهِمْ يَحْلِفُ مِنْکُمْ خَمْسُونَ رَجُلًا فَأَبَوْا فَقَالَ لِلْأَنْصَارِ اسْتَحِقُّوا قَالُوا نَحْلِفُ عَلَی الْغَيْبِ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَجَعَلَهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ دِيَةً عَلَی يَهُودَ لِأَنَّهُ وُجِدَ بَيْنَ أَظْهُرِهِمْ
سنن ابودوٗد · Hadith 4526
Narrated Abu Salamah bin Abdur-Rahman and Sulaiman bin Yasar: On the authority of some men of the Ansar: The Prophet ﷺ 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 ﷺ then imposed the blood-wit on the Jews because he (the slain) was found among them.
