Narrated Abu Salamah bin Abdur-Rahman and Sulaiman bin Yasar: On the authority of some men of the Ansar: The Prophet ﷺ said to the Jews and started with them: Fifty of you should take the oaths. But they refused (to take the oaths). He then said to the Ansar: Prove your claim. They said: Do we take the oaths without seeing, Messenger of Allah? The Messenger of Allah ﷺ then imposed the blood-wit on the Jews because he (the slain) was found among them.

Narrated Abdur-Rahman bin Bujaid: I swear by Allah, Sahl had a misunderstanding about this tradition. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ wrote to the Jews: A slain man has been found amongnst you, so pay his bloodwit. They wrote (to him): Swearing by Allah fifty oaths, we neither killed him nor do we know his slayer. He said: Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ himself paid his bloodwit which consisted of one hundred she-camels.
