Sahl bin Abu Hathma reported,

Abdullah bin Sahl, of the Ansar, was found killed in one of the wells of Khaybar. His two paternal uncles and his brother came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. His brother was Abdul-Rahman bin Sahl, and his two uncles were Huwaysa and Muhaysa.Abdul-Rahman started to speak before the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, but the Messenger said, "Let the elder speak, the elder."So one of his two uncles spoke, either Huwaysa or Muhaysa. Sufyan said, "I have forgotten which of the two was the elder."He said, "Messenger of Allah, we found Abdullah killed in one of the wells of Khaybar." He then mentioned the Jews, their evil, and their enmity.The Messenger said, "Fifty of you must swear an oath that the Jews killed him."They replied, "How can we swear to something we did not witness?"He said, "Then the Jews can clear themselves by fifty oaths, swearing that they did not kill him."They said, "How can we accept their oaths when they are polytheists?"So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ paid the blood-money for him from his own resources.Sahl said, "A young she-camel from those camels kicked me."Sufyan was asked about the wording in the hadith, "And you become entitled to the blood of your companion." He said, "That is in it."
