عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ أَنَّهُ قَالَ أَفَاءَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ خَيْبَرَ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَأَقَرَّهُمْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَمَا كَانُوا وَجَعَلَهَا بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَهُمْ فَبَعَثَ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ رَوَاحَةَ فَخَرَصَهَا عَلَيْهِمْ ثُمَّ قَالَ لَهُمْ يَا مَعْشَرَ الْيَهُودِ أَنْتُمْ أَبْغَضُ الْخَلْقِ إِلَيَّ قَتَلْتُمْ أَنْبِيَاءَ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ وَكَذَبْتُمْ عَلَى اللَّهِ وَلَيْسَ يَحْمِلُنِي بُغْضِي إِيَّاكُمْ عَلَى أَنْ أَحِيفَ عَلَيْكُمْ قَدْ خَرَصْتُ عِشْرِينَ أَلْفَ وَسْقٍ مِنْ تَمْرٍ فَإِنْ شِئْتُمْ فَلَكُمْ وَإِنْ أَبَيْتُمْ فَلِي فَقَالُوا بِهَذَا قَامَتِ السَّمَاوَاتُ وَالْأَرْضُ قَدْ أَخَذْنَا فَاخْرُجُوا عَنَّا
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) that Allah Almighty granted the region of Khaybar to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and he (peace and blessings be upon him) allowed the Jews to continue residing there as before, and divided the land there between the Jews and the Muslims. Then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) sent Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Rawahah (may Allah be pleased with him) there; he went and estimated the yield of the orchards and said: O Jews! In my view, you are the most disliked creation of Allah; you killed the prophets of Allah and attributed lies to Allah Almighty, but despite such hatred, I will not be unjust or oppressive to you. Now, I have estimated the yield to be twenty thousand wasq of dates; if you wish, accept this decision for yourselves, and if you do not approve, then I will accept it. The Jews said: It is because of such justice that the heavens and the earth stand firm; we accept your estimation, you may stay apart from it.
