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 said to Muhaiyisa, “The eldest! The eldest!” meaning, “Let the eldest of you speak.” So
Huwaiyisa spoke first and then Muhaiyisa. Allah’s Apostle said, “The Jews should either pay the blood
money of your (deceased) companion or be ready for war.” After that Allah’s Apostle wrote a letter to
the Jews in that respect, and they wrote that they had not killed him. Then Allah’s Apostle 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 be –
fore 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.

His opponent stood up and said, “He has said the truth, so judge between us according to Allah’s
Laws.” The bedouin said, “My son was a laborer for this man and committed illegal sexual inter –
course with his wife. The people said to me, ‘Your son is to be stoned to death,’ so I ransomed my son
for one hundred sheep and a slave girl. Then I asked the religious learned men and they said to me,
‘Your son has to receive one hundred lashes plus one year of exile.’ ” The Prophet said, “I shall judge
between you according to Allah’s Book (Laws)! As for the slave girl and the sheep, it shall be returned
to you, and your son shall receive one-hundred lashes and be exiled for one year. O you, Unais!” The
Prophet addressed some man, “Go in the morning to the wife of this man and stone her to death.” So
Unais went to her the next morning and stoned her to death.

(with the money) to Allah’s Apostle the Prophet called him to account, and he said, “This (amount) is
for you, and this was given to me as a present.” Allah’s Apostle said, “Why don’t you stay at your
father’s house or your mother’s house to see whether you will be given gifts or not, if you are telling
the truth?” Then Allah’s Apostle stood up and addressed the people, and after glorifying and praising
Allah, he said: Amma Ba’du (then after) I employ some men from among you for some job which Al –
lah has placed in my charge, and then one of you comes to me and says, ‘This (amount) is for you
and this is a gift given to me.’ Why doesn’t he stay at the house of his father or the house of his moth –

er and see whether he will be given gifts or not if he was telling the truth by Allah, none of you takes
anything of it (i.e., Zakat) for himself (Hisham added: unlawfully) but he will meet Allah on the Day
of Resurrection carrying it on his neck! I do not want to see any of you carrying a grunting camel or
a mooing cow or a bleating sheep on meeting Allah.” Then the Prophet raised both his hands till I
saw the whiteness of his armpits, and said, “(No doubt)! Haven’t I conveyed Allah’s Message!”

be one of the most beloved persons to me, and now his son (Usama) is one of the most beloved per –
sons to me after him. ” (See Hadith No. 745, Vol. 5)
