Narrated 'Abd al-Rahman b. 'Abd Allah b. Ka'b b. Malik :On the authority of his mother than Umm Mubashshir said (Abu Sa'id b. al-A'rabi said: So he said it on the authority of his mother ; what is correct is: on the authority of his father, instead of his mother): I entered upon the Prophet (ﷺ). He then mentioned the tradition of Makhlad b. Khalid in a way similar to the tradition of Jabir. The narrator said: Then Bishr b. al-Bara' b. Ma'rur died. So he (the Prophet) sent for the Jewess and said: What did motivate you for your work you have done ? He (the narrator) then mentioned the rest of the tradition like the tradition of Jabir. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) ordered regarding her and she was killed. He (the narrator in this version) did not mention cupping

حدثنا احمد بن حنبل، حدثنا ابراهيم بن خالد، حدثنا رباح، عن معمر، عن الزهري، عن عبد الرحمن بن عبد الله بن كعب بن مالك، عن امه، ان ام مبشر، - قال ابو سعيد بن الاعرابي كذا قال عن امه، والصواب، عن ابيه، عن ام مبشر، - دخلت على النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم فذكر معنى حديث مخلد بن خالد نحو حديث جابر قال فمات بشر بن البراء بن معرور فارسل الى اليهودية فقال " ما حملك على الذي صنعت " . فذكر نحو حديث جابر فامر بها رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم فقتلت ولم يذكر الحجامة

Narrated Qatadah: Through the same chain of narrators as mentioned before, i.e. Samurah reported the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) as saying: If anyone castrates his slave, we shall castrate him. He then mentioned the rest of the tradition like that of Sh'ubah and Hammad. Abu Dawud said: Abu Dawud al-Tayalisi transmitted it from Hisham like the tradition of Mu'adh

حدثنا محمد بن المثنى، حدثنا معاذ بن هشام، حدثني ابي، عن قتادة، باسناده مثله قال قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم " من خصى عبده خصيناه " . ثم ذكر مثل حديث شعبة وحماد . قال ابو داود ورواه ابو داود الطيالسي عن هشام مثل حديث معاذ

Qatadah transmitted the tradition mentioned above through a chain of narrators like that of Shu'bah. This version adds:Then al-Hasan forgot this tradition, and he used to say: A free man is not to be killed for a slave

حدثنا الحسن بن علي، حدثنا سعيد بن عامر، عن ابن ابي عروبة، عن قتادة، باسناد شعبة مثله زاد ثم ان الحسن نسي هذا الحديث فكان يقول " لا يقتل حر بعبد

It was narrated from Hisham, from Qatadah, from Al-Hasan, who said:"A free man should not be subjected to retaliation in return for a slave

حدثنا مسلم بن ابراهيم، حدثنا هشام، عن قتادة، عن الحسن، قال لا يقاد الحر بالعبد

Narrated 'Amr b. Shu'aib: On his father's authority, said that his grandfather told that a A man came to the Prophet (ﷺ) crying for help. He said: His slave-girl, Messenger of Allah! He said: Woe to you, what happened with you ? He said that it was an evil one. He saw the slave-girl of his master; he became jealous of him, and cut off his penis. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: Bring the man to me. The man was called, but people could not get control over him. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) then said: Go away, you are free. He asked: Messenger of Allah! upon whom does my help lie? He replied: On every believer, or he said: On every Muslim. Abu Dawud said: The name of the man who was emancipated was Rawh b. Dinar Abu Dawud said: The man who cut off the penis was Zinba' Abu Dawud said: The Zinba' Abu Rawh was master of the slave

حدثنا محمد بن الحسن بن تسنيم العتكي، حدثنا محمد بن بكر، اخبرنا سوار ابو حمزة، حدثنا عمرو بن شعيب، عن ابيه، عن جده، قال جاء رجل مستصرخ الى النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم فقال جارية له يا رسول الله . فقال " ويحك ما لك " . قال شرا ابصر لسيده جارية له فغار فجب مذاكيره . فقال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم " على بالرجل " . فطلب فلم يقدر عليه فقال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم " اذهب فانت حر " . فقال يا رسول الله على من نصرتي قال " على كل مومن " . او قال " كل مسلم " . قال ابو داود الذي عتق كان اسمه روح بن دينار . قال ابو داود الذي جبه زنباع . قال ابو داود هذا زنباع ابو روح كان مولى العبد

Narrated Sahl b. Abi Hathmah and Rafi' b. Khadij: Muhayyasah b. Mas'ud and 'Abd Allah b. Sahl came to Khaibar and parted (from each other) among palm trees. 'Abd Allah b. Sahl was killed. The Jews were blamed (for the murder). 'Abd al-Rahman b. Sahl and Huwayyasah and Muhayyasah, the sons of his uncle (Mas'ud) came to the Prophet (ﷺ). 'Abd al-Rahman, who was the youngest, spoke about his brother, but the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said to him: (Respect) the elder, (respect) the elder or he said: Let the eldest begin. They then spoke about their friend and the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: Fifty of you should take oaths regarding a man from them (the Jews) and he should be entrusted (to him) with his rope (in his neck). They said: It is a matter which we did not see. How can we take oaths ? He said: The Jews exonerate themselves by the oaths of fifty of them. They said: Messenger of Allah! they are a people who are infidels. So the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) paid them bloodwit himself. Sahl said: Once I entered the resting place of their camels, and the she-camel struck me with her lef. Hammad said this or (something) similar to it. Abu Dawud said: Another version transmitted by Yahya b. Sa'id has: Would you swear fifty oaths and make you claim regarding your friend or your slain man ? Bishr, the transmitter, did mention blood. 'Abdah transmitted it from Yahya as transmitted by Hammad. Ibn 'Uyainah has also transmitted it from Yahya, and began with his words: The Jew will exonerate themselves by fifty oaths which they will swear. He did not mention the claim. Abu Dawud said: This is a misunderstanding on the part of Ibn 'Uyainah

حدثنا عبيد الله بن عمر بن ميسرة، ومحمد بن عبيد، - المعنى - قالا حدثنا حماد بن زيد، عن يحيى بن سعيد، عن بشير بن يسار، عن سهل بن ابي حثمة، ورافع بن خديج، ان محيصة بن مسعود، وعبد الله بن سهل، انطلقا قبل خيبر فتفرقا في النخل فقتل عبد الله بن سهل فاتهموا اليهود فجاء اخوه عبد الرحمن بن سهل وابنا عمه حويصة ومحيصة فاتوا النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم فتكلم عبد الرحمن في امر اخيه وهو اصغرهم فقال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم " الكبر الكبر " . او قال " ليبدا الاكبر " . فتكلما في امر صاحبهما فقال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم " يقسم خمسون منكم على رجل منهم فيدفع برمته " . قالوا امر لم نشهده كيف نحلف قال " فتبريكم يهود بايمان خمسين منهم " . قالوا يا رسول الله قوم كفار . قال فوداه رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم من قبله . قال قال سهل دخلت مربدا لهم يوما فركضتني ناقة من تلك الابل ركضة برجلها . قال حماد هذا او نحوه . قال ابو داود رواه بشر بن المفضل ومالك عن يحيى بن سعيد قال فيه " اتحلفون خمسين يمينا وتستحقون دم صاحبكم او قاتلكم " ولم يذكر بشر دما وقال عبدة عن يحيى كما قال حماد ورواه ابن عيينة عن يحيى فبدا بقوله " تبريكم يهود بخمسين يمينا يحلفون " . ولم يذكر الاستحقاق قال ابو داود وهذا وهم من ابن عيينة

Sahl b. Abi Hathmah and some senior men of the tribe told that 'Abd Allah b. Abi Sahl and Muhayyasah came to Khaibar on account of the calamity (i.e. famine) that befall them. Muhayyasah came and told the 'Abd Allah b. Sahl had been killed and thrown in a well or stream. He hen came to the Jews and said:I swear by Allah, you have killed him. They said: We swear by Allah, we have not killed him. He then proceeded and came to his tribe and mentioned this to them. Then he, his brother Huwayyasah, who was older to him, and 'Abd al-Rahman b. Sahl came forward (to the Prophet). Muhayyasah began to speak. It was he who was at Khaibar. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) then said to him: Let the eldest (speak), let the eldest (speak), meaning age. So Huwayyasah spoke, and after him Muhayyasah spoke. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) then said: They should either pay the bloodwit for you friend or they should be prepared for war. So the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) wrote to them about it. They wrote (in reply): We swear by Allah, we have not killed him. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) then said to Huwayyasah, Muhayyasah and 'Abd al-Rahman: Will you take an oath and thus have the claim to the blood of your friend ? They said: No. He (the Prophet) said: The Jews will then take an oath. They said: They are not Muslims. Then the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) himself paid the bloodwit. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) then sent on one hundred she-camels and they were entered in their house. Sahl said: A red she-camel of them gave me a kick

حدثنا احمد بن عمرو بن السرح، اخبرنا ابن وهب، اخبرني مالك، عن ابي ليلى بن عبد الله بن عبد الرحمن بن سهل، عن سهل بن ابي حثمة، انه اخبره هو، ورجال، من كبراء قومه ان عبد الله بن سهل ومحيصة خرجا الى خيبر من جهد اصابهم فاتي محيصة فاخبر ان عبد الله بن سهل قد قتل وطرح في فقير او عين فاتى يهود فقال انتم والله قتلتموه . قالوا والله ما قتلناه . فاقبل حتى قدم على قومه فذكر لهم ذلك ثم اقبل هو واخوه حويصة - وهو اكبر منه - وعبد الرحمن بن سهل فذهب محيصة ليتكلم وهو الذي كان بخيبر فقال له رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم " كبر كبر " . يريد السن فتكلم حويصة ثم تكلم محيصة فقال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم " اما ان يدوا صاحبكم واما ان يوذنوا بحرب " . فكتب اليهم رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم بذلك فكتبوا انا والله ما قتلناه . فقال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم لحويصة ومحيصة وعبد الرحمن " اتحلفون وتستحقون دم صاحبكم " . قالوا لا . قال " فتحلف لكم يهود " . قالوا ليسوا مسلمين فوداه رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم من عنده فبعث اليهم ماية ناقة حتى ادخلت عليهم الدار . قال سهل لقد ركضتني منها ناقة حمراء

Mahmud alone transmitted in this tradition the words "at the bank of Layyah

Narrated Bashir b. Yasar:That a man of the Ansar called Sahl b. Abi Hathmah told him that some people of his tribe went to Khaibar and separated there. They found one of them slain. They said to those with whom they had found him: You have killed our friend. They replied: We did not kill him, nor do we know the slayer. We (the people of the slain) then went to the Prophet of Allah (ﷺ). He said to them: Bring proof against the one who has slain him. They replied: We have no proof. He said: Then they will take an oath for you. They said: We do not accept the oaths of the Jews. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) did not like no responsibility should be fixed for his blood. So he himself paid his bloodwit consisting of one hundred camels of sadaqah (i.e. camels sent to the Prophet as zakat)

He said: Then choose fifty of them and demand that they take an oath; but they refused and the Prophet (ﷺ) paid the blood-wit himself

حدثنا الحسن بن علي بن راشد، اخبرنا هشيم، عن ابي حيان التيمي، حدثنا عباية بن رفاعة، عن رافع بن خديج، قال اصبح رجل من الانصار مقتولا بخيبر فانطلق اولياوه الى النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم فذكروا ذلك له فقال " لكم شاهدان يشهدان على قتل صاحبكم " . قالوا يا رسول الله لم يكن ثم احد من المسلمين وانما هم يهود وقد يجتريون على اعظم من هذا . قال " فاختاروا منهم خمسين فاستحلفوهم " . فابوا فوداه النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم من عنده

It contained: The lives of all Muslims are equal; they are one hand against others; the lowliest of them can guarantee their protection. Beware, a Muslim must not be killed for an infidel, nor must one who has been given a covenant be killed while his covenant holds. If anyone introduces an innovation, he will be responsible for it. If anyone introduces an innovation or gives shelter to a man who introduces an innovation (in religion), he is cursed by Allah, by His angels, and by all the people. Musaddad said: Ibn AbuUrubah's version has: He took out a document
