حَدَّثَنَا حَجَّاجٌ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا لَيْثٌ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي عُقَيْلٌ عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ وَسُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ يَسَارٍ عَنْ إِنْسَانٍ مِنْ الْأَنْصَارِ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنَّ الْقَسَامَةَ كَانَتْ فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ قَسَامَةَ الدَّمِ فَأَقَرَّهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَلَى مَا كَانَتْ عَلَيْهِ فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ وَقَضَى بِهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بَيْنَ أُنَاسٍ مِنْ الْأَنْصَارِ مِنْ بَنِي حَارِثَةَ ادَّعُوهُ عَلَى الْيَهُودِ.

Hajjaj told us, he said: Layth told us, he said: Uqayl told me, from Ibn Shihab, from Abu Salamah ibn Abd al-Rahman and Sulayman ibn Yasar, from a man among the Ansar, among the Companions of the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, that the qasamah [oath procedure] had existed in the Jahiliyyah as an oath concerning bloodshed, and the Messenger of God, peace and blessings be upon him, confirmed it as it had been in the Jahiliyyah, and the Messenger of God, peace and blessings be upon him, judged by it between some people of the Ansar from Banu Haritha, who made a claim [of murder] against the Jews.
