Shahih Bukhari - 6655

Telah menceritakan kepada kami [Abdullah bin Yusuf] Telah mengabarkan kepada kami [Malik] dari [Abu Laila] -lewat jalur periwayatan lain-Telah menceritakan kepada kami [Ismail] telah menceritakan kepadaku [Malik] dari [Abu Laila bin Abdullah bin Abduurrahman bin Sahal bin Abu Khatsmah], ia dan beberapa pemuka kaumnya mengabarinya, bahwa Abdullah bin Sahal dan Muhayshah berangkat ke Khaibar karena musim paceklik yang menimpa mereka, lantas Muhayshah diberi kabar bahwa Abdullah terbunuh dan di hempaskan begitu saja di sebuah mata air. Maka ia datangi kaum yahudi dan mengatakan; 'Hei, kalianlah -demi Allah- yang telah membunuhnya! ' Mereka menjawab; 'Kami tidak membunuhnya, demi Allah.' Kemudian Muhayshah pulang hingga ia temui kaumnya dan ia ceritakan kasusnya kepada mereka. Ia temui kaumnya bersama saudaranya, Huwaysah yang usianya lebih tua daripadanya, dan Abdurrahman bin Sahal. Muhayshah kontan ingin bicara -karena dialah yang pergi ke Khaibar--, namun Nabi shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam menegur Muhayshah; "hendaklah yang lebih tua, hendaklah yang lebih tua" yang beliau maksudkan adalah umurnya. Maka Huwayshah -kakak Muhaysah-berbicara, kemudian baru diteruskan oleh Muhayshah. Lantas Rasulullah shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam bersabda: "Adakah mereka ingin membayar diyat sahabat kalian ataukah mereka ingin mengumumkan perang?" lantas Rasulullah Shallallahu'alaihiwasallam berkirim surat kepada mereka, dan mereka pun memberi balasan bahwa; 'kami tidak membunuhnya.' Lantas Rasulullah Shallallahu'alaihiwasallam berkata kepada Muhayshah, Huwayshah, dan Abdurrahman bin Sahal; "Bagaimana kalau kalian bersumpah dan berhak menuntut darah kawan kalian?" mereka menjawab; 'tidak'. Nabi lantas mengatakan; "bagaimana kalau kaum yahudi itu yang bersumpah untuk kalian?" Mereka menjawab; "mereka bukan muslimin." Selanjutnya malahan Rasulullah Shallallahu'alaihiwasallam yang membayar diyatnya dari miliknya sendiri sebanyak seratus ekor unta hingga dimasukkan kekandang. [Sahal] berkata; 'seekor diantaranya ada yang menyepakku.' (HR. Bukhari: 6655)

Narrated Abu Laila bin ʿAbdullah bin ʿAbdur-Rahman bin Sahl: Sahl bin Abi Hathma and some great men of his tribe said, ʿAbdullah bin 'Sahl and Muhaiyisa went out to Khaibar as they were struck with poverty and difficult living conditions. Then Muhaiyisa was informed that ʿAbdullah had been killed and thrown in a pit or a spring. Muhaiyisa went to the Jews and said, "By Allah, you have killed my companion." The Jews said, "By Allah, we have not killed him." Muhaiyisa then came back to his people and told them the story. He, his elder brother Huwaiyisa and ʿAbdur-Rahman bin Sahl came (to the Prophet (ﷺ)) and he who had been at Khaibar, proceeded to speak, but the Prophet (ﷺ) said to Muhaiyisa, "The eldest! The eldest!" meaning, "Let the eldest of you speak." So Huwaiyisa spoke first and then Muhaiyisa. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "The Jews should either pay the blood money of your (deceased) companion or be ready for war." After that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) wrote a letter to the Jews in that respect, and they wrote that they had not killed him. Then Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said to Huwaiyisa, Muhaiyisa and ʿAbdur-Rahman, "Can you take an oath by which you will be entitled to take the blood money?" They said, "No." He said (to them), "Shall we ask the Jews to take an oath before you?" They replied, "But the Jews are not Muslims." So Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) gave them one-hundred she-camels as blood money from himself. Sahl added: When those she-camels were made to enter the house, one of them kicked me with its leg.
