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.

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.

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.

Umar said “Had I not considered the last Muslim, I would have any town I conquered divided as the Messenger of Allah ﷺ had divided Khaibar. ”
