The Practice of Qasamah During the Jahiliyyah

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad approved of the practice of Qasamah, which was practiced during the Jahiliyyah, and ruled accordingly in a case involving a victim claimed to have been killed by Jews.

it was narrated from Abu Salamah and Sulaiman bin Yasar, from some of the Companions of the Messenger of Allah, that: Qasamah existed during the Jahiliyyah and the Messenger of Allah approved of it as it had been during the Jahiliyyah, and he ruled accordingly among some of the Ansar concerning a victim whom they claimed the Jews of Khaibar had Killed. (Sahih) Ma'mar contradicted the two of them.
أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ هَاشِمٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا الْوَلِيدُ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا الأَوْزَاعِيُّ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ، وَسُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ يَسَارٍ، عَنْ أُنَاسٍ، مِنْ أَصْحَابِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ أَنَّ الْقَسَامَةَ كَانَتْ فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ فَأَقَرَّهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ عَلَى مَا كَانَتْ عَلَيْهِ فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ وَقَضَى بِهَا بَيْنَ أُنَاسٍ مِنَ الأَنْصَارِ فِي قَتِيلٍ ادَّعَوْهُ عَلَى يَهُودِ خَيْبَرَ ‏.‏ خَالَفَهُمَا مَعْمَرٌ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks about an incident that occurred during the time when Prophet Muhammad ﷺ was alive. It tells us that there was a practice called Qasamah which existed during pre-Islamic times known as Jahiliyyh. In this incident, some people from Ansar claimed that Jews from Khaibar had killed someone and so Prophet Muhammad ﷺ ruled accordingly based on this practice. Ma'mar contradicted them but it is narrated in Sahih Bukhari so it is accepted as true by Muslims all over the world. This hadith teaches us to accept practices that were already established before Islam came into existence unless they are against Islamic teachings or values such as justice and fairness for all people regardless of their religion or background.
