Abdullah bin Umar reported that Umar said “When Khaibar was conquered, the Jews asked the Messenger of Allah ﷺ to confirm that they would do all the cultivation and have half the produce. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said “I shall confirm you on that condition as long as we wish. So they were confirmed on that (condition). The dates from half the produce of Khaibar were divided into a number of portions. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ would take the fifth. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to contribute from the fifth one hundred wasqs of dates and twenty wasqs of wheat to each of his wives. When Umar intended to expel the Jews from Khaibar he sent a message to the wives of the Prophet ﷺ and said to them “If any of you wishes that I divide the palm trees for her by their assessment that amounts one hundred wasqs (of dates) and to her belongs their root, their land and their water and (likewise) twenty wasqs from the produce of the cultivated land by assessment, I shall (do that). And if any of you wishes that we take out her portion from the fifth, we shall do (that).

Anas bin Malik said “The Messenger of Allah ﷺ attacked Khaibar and we captured it by conquest. He then gathered the captives of war. ”

Sahl bin Abi Hathmah said “The Messenger of Allah ﷺ divide Khaibar into two halves. One half was reserved for his emergency and needs, the other half was meant for the Muslims. He divided among them into eighteen portions. ”

Bashir bin Yasar said that he heard a number of the Companions of the Prophet ﷺ say. He then narrated the tradition (mentioned above). He said “One half comprised the portions of the Muslims and the portion of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. He separated the other half for the Muslims for any calamity that befalls him and for emergent needs. ”

Narrated A Group of Companions of the Prophet: Bashir ibn Yasar, the client of the Ansar, reported on the authority of a group of the Companions of the Prophet ﷺ: When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ conquered Khaybar, he divided it into thirty-six lots, each lot comprising one hundred portions. One half of it was for the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and for the Muslims; and he separated the remaining half for the deputations which came to him, other matters and emergent needs of the people.

Bashir bin Yasar said “When Allaah bestowed Khaibar on His Prophet ﷺ as fai’ (spoils), he divided it into thirty six lots. Each lot comprised one hundred portions. He separated its half for his emergent needs and whatever befalls him. Al Watih and Al Kutaibah and Al Salalim and whatever acquired with them. He separated the other half and he divided Al Shaqq and Nata’ and whatever acquired with them. The portion of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ lay in the property acquired with them.

Narrated Bashir ibn Yasar: When Allah bestowed Khaybar on the Messenger of Allah ﷺ as fay (spoils of war without fighting), he divided the whole into thirty six lots. He put aside a half, i. e. eighteen lots, for the Muslims. Each lot comprised one hundred shares, and the Prophet ﷺ was with them. He received a share like the share of one of them. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ separated eighteen lots, that is, half, for his future needs and whatever befell the Muslims. These were al-Watih, al-Kutaybah, as-Salalim and their colleagues. When all this property came in the possession of the Prophet ﷺ and of the Muslims, they did not have sufficient labourers to work on it. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ called Jews and employed them on contract.

Narrated Mujammi ibn Jariyah al-Ansari,: Khaybar was divided among the people of al-Hudaybiyyah. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ divided it into eighteen portions. The army contained one thousand and five hundred people. There were three hundred horsemen among them. He gave double share to the horsemen, and a single to the footmen.

Narrated Abdullah ibn Abu Bakr: Abdullah ibn Abu Bakr and some children of Muhammad ibn Maslamah said: There remained some people of Khaybar and they confined themselves to the fortresses. They asked the Messenger of Allah ﷺ to protect their lives and let them go. He did so. The people of Fadak heard this; they also adopted a similar way. (Fadak) was, therefore, exclusively reserved for the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, for it was not captured by the expedition of cavalry and camelry.

Saeed bin Al Musayyab said “The Messenger of Allah ﷺ conquered a portion of Khaibar by force. ” Abu Dawud said “This tradition was read out to Al Harith bin Miskin while I was a witness”. Ibn Wahb said “Malik told me on the authority of Ibn Shihab, Khaibar was captured by force in part and by peace in part. Most of Al Kutaibah was captured by force and a portion by peace. ” I asked Malik “What is Al Kutaibah?” He replied “The land of Khaibar. It had forty thousand palm trees. ”
