Sahl bin Abu Hathma reported,

He reported, on the authority of some of the senior men of his people, that Abdullah bin Sahl and Muhaysa went out to Khaybar because of hardship that had befallen them.Someone came to Muhaysa and informed him that Abdullah bin Sahl had been killed and thrown into a pit or a spring in Khaybar. Muhaysa went to the Jews and said, "By Allah, you killed him."They replied, "By Allah, we did not kill him."Then he came back to his people and told them about it. He then set out along with his brother Huwaysa, who was older than him, and Abdul-Rahman bin Sahl. Muhaysa began to speak, since he was the one who had been at Khaybar.The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to Muhaysa, "Let the elder, the elder speak," meaning the one older in age. So Huwaysa spoke, and then Muhaysa spoke.The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "They must either pay the blood-money for your companion or face a declaration of war." So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ wrote to them about this, and they wrote back, "By Allah, we did not kill him."The Messenger of Allah ﷺ then said to Huwaysa, Muhaysa, and Abdul-Rahman, "Will you swear an oath and thereby establish your right to the blood of your companion?"They said, "No."He asked, "Then shall the Jews swear an oath to you?"They said, "They are not Muslims."So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ paid the blood-money himself. He sent them a hundred she-camels, which were brought into their dwelling. Sahl said, "One of them, a red she-camel, kicked me."

حدثنا يحيى بن حكيم حدثنا بشر بن عمر سمعت مالك بن أنس حدثني أبو ليلى بن عبد الله بن عبد الرحمن بن سهل

عن سهل بن أبي حثمة

أنه أخبره عن رجال من كبراء قومه أن عبد الله بن سهل ومحيصة خرجا إلى خيبر من جهد أصابهم فأتي محيصة فأخبر أن عبد الله بن سهل قد قتل وألقي في فقير أو عين بخيبر فأتى يهود فقال أنتم والله قتلتموه قالوا والله ما قتلناه ثم أقبل حتى قدم على قومه فذكر ذلك لهم ثم أقبل هو وأخوه حويصة وهو أكبر منه وعبد الرحمن بن سهل فذهب محيصة يتكلم وهو الذي كان بخيبر فقال رسول الله ﷺ لمحيصة كبر كبر يريد السن فتكلم حويصة ثم تكلم محيصة فقال رسول الله ﷺ إما أن يدوا صاحبكم وإما أن يؤذنوا بحرب فكتب رسول الله ﷺ إليهم في ذلك فكتبوا إنا والله ما قتلناه فقال رسول الله ﷺ لحويصة ومحيصة وعبد الرحمن تحلفون وتستحقون دم صاحبكم قالوا لا قال فتحلف لكم يهود قالوا ليسوا بمسلمين فوداه رسول الله ﷺ من عنده فبعث إليهم رسول الله ﷺ مائة ناقة حتى أدخلت عليهم الدار فقال سهل فلقد ركضتني منها ناقة حمراء
