Hadith text

Narrated Abu Laila bin `Abdullah bin `Abdur-Rahman bin Sahl:Sahl bin Abi Hathma and some great men of his tribe said, `Abdullah bin 'Sahl and Muhaiyisa went out to Khaibar as they were struck with poverty and difficult living conditions. Then Muhaiyisa was informed that `Abdullah 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 `Abdur-Rahman bin Sahl came (to the Prophet) 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 `Abdur-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 Apostle 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

Abu Laila bin Abdullah bin Abdur Rahman bin Sahl bataate hain: Sahl bin Abi Hathma aur unke qabeele ke kuch bade logon ne kaha, 'Abdullah bin Sahl aur Muhaiyisa Khaibar gaye kyunke wo gareebi aur mushkil zindagi mein the. Phir Muhaiyisa ko bataaya gaya ke Abdullah ko qatl karke ek gaddhe ya chashme mein phenk diya gaya hai. Muhaiyisa Yahudiyon ke paas gaye aur kaha, "Allah ki qasam, tumne mere saathi ko qatl kiya hai." Yahudiyon ne kaha, "Allah ki qasam, humne unhein qatl nahi kiya." Phir Muhaiyisa apne log ke paas wapas aaye aur unhein poori kahaani bataayi. Wo, unke bade bhai Huwaiyisa, aur Abdur Rahman bin Sahl (Nabi ke paas) aaye, aur jo Khaibar mein maujood the (yaani Muhaiyisa) bolne lage, magar Nabi (SAW) ne Muhaiyisa se kaha, "Bade! Bade!" yaani "Tum mein se sabse bade ko bolna chaahiye." To Huwaiyisa ne pehle baat ki, phir Muhaiyisa ne. Allah ke Rasool (SAW) ne kaha, "Yahudiyon ko ya to tumhaare (murda) saathi ka khoon-bahaa dena chaahiye ya jang ke liye taiyaar rehna chaahiye." Uske baad Allah ke Rasool (SAW) ne Yahudiyon ko is baare mein ek khat likha, aur unhone jawab diya ke unhone unhein qatl nahi kiya. Phir Allah ke Rasool (SAW) ne Huwaiyisa, Muhaiyisa, aur Abdur Rahman se kaha, "Kya tum aisi qasam khaa sakte ho jiske zariye tumhein khoon-bahaa lene ka haq mile?" Unhone kaha, "Nahi." Unhone (unse) kaha, "Kya hum Yahudiyon se tumhaare saamne qasam khilaayein?" Unhone jawab diya, "Magar Yahudi Musalmaan nahi hain." To Allah ke Rasool (SAW) ne khud apni taraf se unhein sau oont khoon-bahaa mein diye.' Sahl ne izaafa kiya: Jab wo oont ghar mein le jaaye gaye, unmein se ek ne mujhe apne pair se maara.
