أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مَعْمَرٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا رَوْحُ بْنُ عُبَادَةَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ الْأَخْنَسِ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ شُعَيْبٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ جَدِّهِ أَنَّ ابْنَ مُحَيِّصَةَ الْأَصْغَرَ أَصْبَحَ قَتِيلًا عَلَی أَبْوَابِ خَيْبَرَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَقِمْ شَاهِدَيْنِ عَلَی مَنْ قَتَلَهُ أَدْفَعْهُ إِلَيْکُمْ بِرُمَّتِهِ قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَمِنْ أَيْنَ أُصِيبُ شَاهِدَيْنِ وَإِنَّمَا أَصْبَحَ قَتِيلًا عَلَی أَبْوَابِهِمْ قَالَ فَتَحْلِفُ خَمْسِينَ قَسَامَةً قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَکَيْفَ أَحْلِفُ عَلَی مَا لَا أَعْلَمُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَنَسْتَحْلِفُ مِنْهُمْ خَمْسِينَ قَسَامَةً فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ کَيْفَ نَسْتَحْلِفُهُمْ وَهُمْ الْيَهُودُ فَقَسَمَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ دِيَتَهُ عَلَيْهِمْ وَأَعَانَهُمْ بِنِصْفِهَا
سنن نسائی · Hadith 4735
It was narrated from ‘Amr bin Shuaib, from his father, from his grandfather, that the younger son of Muhayysah was found slain one morning at the gates of Khaibar. The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم said: “Bring two witnesses to (say) who killed him, and he will hand him over to you.” He said: “Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم, where shall I get two witnesses? He was found slain in the morning at their gates.” He said: “Will you swear fifty oaths?” He said: “Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم how can I swear concerning something I do not know?” The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم said: “Then will you accept fifty oaths from them?” He said: “Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم, how can we accept their oaths when they are Jews?” So the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم told them (the Jews) to pay the Diyah and he would help them with half.” (Hasan)
