أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ رَافِعٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، قَالَ أَنْبَأَنَا مَعْمَرٌ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنِ ابْنِ الْمُسَيَّبِ، قَالَ كَانَتِ الْقَسَامَةُ فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ ثُمَّ أَقَرَّهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فِي الأَنْصَارِيِّ الَّذِي وُجِدَ مَقْتُولاً فِي جُبِّ الْيَهُودِ فَقَالَتِ الأَنْصَارُ الْيَهُودُ قَتَلُوا صَاحِبَنَا .

Summary of Sunan an-Nasai Hadith 4709
This Qasamah hadith mentions a case involving an Ansari who was found killed in a dry well of the Jews. Ibn Al-Musayyab said that Qasamah existed during the Jahiliyyah, then the Messenger of Allah confirmed it in this case. The Ansar said that the Jews had killed their companion. The narration is short, so the explanation should stay with what it gives: Qasamah, a slain Ansari, a claim by the Ansar, and confirmation of the procedure. It is useful for people searching for hadith about Qasamah, Khaibar murder case hadith, or oath in killing claim. The text shows that serious claims were tied to a recognized process, not just emotion or suspicion.
What we learn from this hadith
