Hadith 3013

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ الْكِنْدِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو خَالِدٍ يَعْنِي سُلَيْمَانَ ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ ، عَنْ بُشَيْرِ بْنِ يَسَارٍ ، قَالَ : لَمَّا أَفَاءَ اللَّهُ عَلَى نَبِيِّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ خَيْبَرَ قَسَمَهَا عَلَى سِتَّةٍ وَثَلَاثِينَ سَهْمًا جَمَعَ كُلُّ سَهْمٍ مِائَةَ سَهْمٍ فَعَزَلَ نِصْفَهَا لِنَوَائِبِهِ ، وَمَا يَنْزِلُ بِهِ الْوَطِيحَةَ وَالْكُتَيْبَةَ وَمَا أُحِيزَ مَعَهُمَا ، وَعَزَلَ النِّصْفَ الْآخَرَ فَقَسَمَهُ بَيْنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ الشِّقَّ وَالنَّطَاةَ وَمَا أُحِيزَ مَعَهُمَا ، وَكَانَ سَهْمُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِيمَا أُحِيزَ مَعَهُمَا .
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.

Explanation & Benefits
Shaykh Umar Farooq Saeedi
Benefits and Issues:
The last group of fortresses that the Muslims conquered by the sword were the fortresses of al-Nataat and al-Shaqq.
Those Jews who escaped with their lives from here took refuge in the group of fortresses called al-Katibah.
There were three fortresses in this group.
The largest was Qamus.
Then came Wateeh and Salalim.
When these were besieged, the owners of these fortresses surrendered them to the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) on the condition of sparing the lives of the fighters and granting freedom to their children.
(‘Awn al-Ma‘bud, Chapter: What Has Been Reported Regarding the Ruling of the Land of Khaybar, by reference to al-Zurqani) After them, the people of Fadak handed over their territory.
(Fath al-Bari, Book of the Obligation of Khums, Chapter: The Obligation of Khums) These territories were specified for the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam),
because these came into his possession without fighting.
They were called annexed and attached lands.

Shaykh Umar Farooq Saeedi
Benefits and Issues:
Half of Khaybar, which was obtained as spoils of war (ghanimah),
in that too, the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) had a share.
He (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) used to combine this remaining share with the fay and give all of it in charity.
However, from it, he would give his wives (radi Allahu anhunna) enough for their needs,
just as has already been explained in detail earlier.

From this hadith, it is also understood that cultivating land on a partnership basis, which is called muzara‘ah and batai (sharecropping),
is a permissible transaction.
