Hadith 3030

حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَاصِمٍ ، وَعَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ ، قَالَا : أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ أَخْبَرَنِي أَبُو الزُّبَيْرِ ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ جَابِرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ يَقُولُ :أَخْبَرَنِي عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ : " لَأُخْرِجَنَّ الْيَهُودَ وَالنَّصَارَى مِنْ جَزِيرَةِ الْعَرَبِ فَلَا أَتْرُكُ فِيهَا إِلَّا مُسْلِمًا ".
Jabir bin Abdullah said that he was told by Umar bin Al Khattab that he heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say “I will certainly expel the Jews and the Christians from Arabia and I shall leave only Muslims in it. ”

Shaykh Dr. Abdur Rahman Freywai
Explanation:
1:
The Arabian Peninsula is that region which is surrounded by the Indian Ocean, the Red Sea, the Syrian Sea, and the Tigris and Euphrates rivers, or, in terms of length, the area from between Aden and Abyan up to the outskirts of Syria, and in terms of width, the area from Jeddah up to the outskirts of the inhabited regions of Iraq. From this hadith, it is understood that the desire of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam was to expel the disbelievers and the Jews and Christians from the Arabian Peninsula. This could not be fully implemented during his lifetime, but Umar radi Allahu anhu, during his caliphate, fulfilled this wish of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam that there should not remain two religions in Arabia, and he exiled the Jews and Christians from the Arabian Peninsula.
