حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ مَعِينٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا حَجَّاجٌ ، عَنْ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ ، قَالَ : أُخْبِرْتُ عَنْ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ ، عَنْ عَائِشَةِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا ، أَنَّهَا قَالَتْ : وَهِيَ تَذْكُرُ شَأْنَ خَيْبَرَ " كَانَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَبْعَثُ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ رَوَاحَةَ إِلَى يَهُودَ فَيَخْرُصُ النَّخْلَ حِينَ يَطِيبُ قَبْلَ أَنْ يُؤْكَلَ مِنْهُ " .
Narrated Aishah, Ummul Muminin: Describing the conquest of Khaybar Aishah said: The Prophet ﷺ used to send Abdullah ibn Rawahah to the Jews of Khaybar, and he would make an estimate of the palm trees when the fruit was in good condition before any of it was eaten.

Brief Explanation
1؎: When Khaybar was conquered, the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) made an agreement with the Jews that they would continue to cultivate their fields, but half of the produce would be given to the Muslims. Therefore, Abdullah ibn Rawahah (radi Allahu anhu) used to go at the time of every harvest and estimate the dates, and then, after the crop was gathered, the amount was collected from them according to that estimation.

1606. Commentary: The chain of narration of this report is weak, but it is established as authentic through other evidences. For example, further on (Book of Sales, Chapter on Estimation, Hadith 3415), there is the statement of Jabir radi Allahu anhu. After the region of Khaybar was conquered, its lands and orchards remained with the Jews as sharecroppers (muzara‘ah). According to the agreement, half of the produce was taken from them. And Abdullah ibn Rawahah radi Allahu anhu used to perform the duty of estimating the fruits.
