Sulaiman bin Harb Atbāʿ al-Tābiʿīn ~144 AH – ~224 AH Hammad bin Zayd Atbāʿ al-Tābiʿīn 98 AH – 179 AH Yahya bin Sa'id bin Farroukh al-Qatan Atbāʿ al-Tābiʿīn ~120 AH – 198 AH Bashayr bin al-Yasar al-Harithi al-Ansar Tābiʿī d. ~100 AH Rafi' bin Khadij bin Rafi' Companion d. ~73 AH

Narrated Rafi` bin Khadij and Sahl bin Abu Hathma:`Abdullah bin Sahl and Muhaiyisa bin Mas`ud went to Khaibar and they dispersed in the gardens of the date-palm trees. `Abdullah bin Sahl was murdered. Then `Abdur-Rahman bin Sahl, Huwaiyisa and Muhaiyisa, the two sons of Mas`ud, came to the Prophet (ﷺ) and spoke about the case of their (murdered) friend. `Abdur-Rahman who was the youngest of them all, started talking. The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Let the older (among you) speak first." So they spoke about the case of their (murdered) friend. The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Will fifty of you take an oath whereby you will have the right to receive the blood money of your murdered man," (or said, "..your companion"). They said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! The murder was a thing we did not witness." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Then the Jews will release you from the oath, if fifty of them (the Jews) should take an oath to contradict your claim." They said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! They are disbelievers (and they will take a false oath)." Then Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) himself paid the blood money to them.
