Jami' al-Saghir / Jam' al-Jawami' (al-Suyuti) 2-897b
"عَنِ الشَّعبى: أَنَّ قَتِيلًا وُجِدَ بَيْنَ وَادِعَةَ وَشاكِر، فَأَمرَهُمْ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ أَنْ يَقسمُوا مَا بَيْنَهُمَا فَوَجَدُوهُ إِلَى وَادِعَةَ أَقْرَبَ، فَأَحْلَفَهُمْ عُمَرُ خَمْسِينَ يَمِينًا كُلَّ رَجُلٍ مَا قَتَلْتُ وَلَا عَلِمْتُ قَاتِلًا، ثُمَّ أَغْرَمَهُمْ الدِّيَة، فَقَالُوا: يَا أمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ! لَا أَيْمَانُنَا دَفَعَتْ عَنْ أَمْوَالِنَا، وَلاَ أَمْوَالُنَا دَفَعَتْ عَنْ أَيْمَانِنَا، فَقَالَ عُمَرُ: فَذَلِكَ الْحَقُّ".

"From al-Sha'bi: A slain man was found between the tribes of Wadi'ah and Shakir. 'Umar ibn al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) ordered them to divide what lies between them. They found him closer to Wadi'ah, so 'Umar made them swear fifty oaths, each man saying: 'I did not kill, and I did not know of a killer.' Then he made them pay the diyah. They said: 'O Commander of the Believers! Our oaths did not repel our wealth, and our wealth did not repel our oaths.' 'Umar said: 'That is the truth.'"
