The Prophet's Generosity in Paying Diyah

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) paid the Diyah for a companion of Hawayyisah and Muhayyisah who was killed by the Jews, even though they denied it.

It was narrated from Sahl bin Abi Hathmah that: 'Abdullah bin Sahl and Muhayyisah set out for Khaibar because of some problem that had arisen. Someone came to Muhayyisah and he told him that 'Abdullah bin Sahl had been Killed and thrown into a pit, or a well. He came to the Jews and said: "By Allah, you killed him". They said: "By Allah, we did not kill him".Then he went back to the Messenger of Allah and told him about that. Then he and Hawayyisah - his brother who was older than him - and 'Abdur-Rahman bin Sahl, came (to the Prophet). Muhayyisah, who was the one who had been at Khaibar, began to speak, but the messenger of Allah said: "Let the elder speak first," So Hawayyisah elder speaks first". So Hawayyisah spoke, then Muhayyisah spoke. The Messenger of Allah said: "Either (the Jews) will pay the Diyah for your companion, or war will be declared on them". The Messenger of Allah sent a letter to that effect (to the Jews) and they wrote back saying: "By Allah, we did not kill him". The Messenger of Allah said to Hawayyisah. Muhayyisah and 'Abdur-Rahman: "Will you swear an oath establishing your claim to the blood money of your companion?" They said: "No". He said: "Should the jews swear an oath for you? They said: "They are not Muslims". So the Messenger of Allah paid (the Diyah) himself, and he sent one hundred she-camels to their abodes. Sahl said: "A red she-camel from among them kicked me".

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks to the generosity of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ. When two of his companions, Hawayyisah and Muhayysiah, came to him with news that their companion had been killed by Jews in Khaibar, he offered to pay them diyah - a form of compensation - for their loss. Even though the Jews denied killing him, he still paid out of his own pocket as an act of kindness and generosity towards his companions. This teaches us that we should always be generous with our wealth and help those in need whenever possible. We should also strive to emulate this example set by our beloved prophet ﷺ in all aspects of life.
