Hadith 3014

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مِسْكِينٍ الْيَمَامِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ حَسَّانَ ، حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ يَعْنِي ابْنَ بِلَالٍ ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ ، عَنْ بُشَيْرِ بْنِ يَسَارٍ ، أَنّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَمَّا أَفَاءَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ خَيْبَرَ قَسَمَهَا سِتَّةً وَثَلَاثِينَ سَهْمًا جَمْعًا ، فَعَزَلَ لِلْمُسْلِمِينَ الشَّطْرَ ثَمَانِيَةَ عَشَرَ سَهْمًا يَجْمَعُ كُلُّ سَهْمٍ مِائَةً النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَعَهُمْ لَهُ سَهْمٌ كَسَهْمِ أَحَدِهِمْ ، وَعَزَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ثَمَانِيَةَ عَشَرَ سَهْمًا وَهُوَ الشَّطْرُ لِنَوَائِبِهِ وَمَا يَنْزِلُ بِهِ مِنْ أَمْرِ الْمُسْلِمِينَ ، فَكَانَ ذَلِكَ الْوَطِيحَ وَالْكُتَيْبَةَ وَالسَّلَالِمَ وَتَوَابِعَهَا ، فَلَمَّا صَارَتِ الأَمْوَالُ بِيَدِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَالْمُسْلِمِينَ لَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُمْ عُمَّالٌ يَكْفُونَهُمْ عَمَلَهَا ، فَدَعَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ الْيَهُودَ فَعَامَلَهُمْ .
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.

Explanation & Benefits
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.

2.
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.

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.
