SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) instructed a group of people to take an oath in order to settle a dispute between two parties.

It was narrated from Sahl bin Ab Hathmah and Rafi bin Khadij that: Muhayyisah bin Mas'ud and 'Abdullah bin Sahl went to Khaibar for some need they had there, and they parted among the palm trees'.Abdullah bin Sahl was killed, and 'Abdullah bin Sahl was killed, and his brother 'Abdur-Rahman bin Shl, and Hawayyisah, and Musayysah, his paternal cousins, came to the Messenger of Allah'.Abdur-Rahan spoke about his brother's case, but he was the youngest of them, so the Messenger of Allah said: "Let the elders speak first". So they spoke about their companions, and the Messenger of Allah said: Let fifty of your swear an oath". The said: "O Messenger of Allah, it is something that we did not witness: how can we swear an oath?" He said: "Then let the Jews swear fifty oaths to their innocence". They said: "O Messenger of Allah, they area) a disbelieving people," So the Messenger of Allah paid the blood money himself Sahl said: "I entered a Mirbad of theirs, and one of those camels kicked me".
