عَنْ سُفْيَانَ بْنِ وَهْبٍ الْخَوْلَانِيِّ ، قَالَ : لَمَّا افْتَتَحْنَا ، [ بِغَيْرِ عَهْدٍ ] مِصْرَ قَامَ الزُّبَيْرُ بْنُ الْعَوَّامِ ، فَقَالَ : يَا عَمْرُو بْنَ الْعَاصِ ، اقْسِمْهَا . فَقَالَ عَمْرٌو : لَا أُقْسِمُهُمَا . فَقَالَ الزُّبَيْرُ : وَاللَّهِ لَتَقْسِمَنَّهَا ، كَمَا قَسَمَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - خَيْبَرَ ، قَالَ عَمْرٌو : وَاللَّهِ لَا أُقْسِمُهَا حَتَّى أَكْتُبَ إِلَى أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ، وَكَتَبَ إِلَى عُمَرَ ، فَكَتَبَ إِلَيْهِ عُمَرُ : أَنْ أَقِرَّهَا حَتَّى يَغْزُوَ مِنْهَا حَبَلُ الْحَبَلَةِ . رَوَاهُ أَحْمَدُ ، وَفِيهِ رَجُلٌ لَمْ يُسَمَّ ، وَابْنُ لَهِيعَةَ .
Sayyiduna Sufyan bin Wahb al-Khawlani (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: When we conquered Egypt without any treaty, Sayyiduna Zubayr bin al-Awwam (may Allah be pleased with him) stood up and said: O Sayyiduna Amr bin al-As (may Allah be pleased with him), divide it (that is, its land among the fighters). Sayyiduna Amr (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I will not divide it. Sayyiduna Zubayr (may Allah be pleased with him) said: By Allah! You will certainly divide it, just as the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) divided (the land of) Khaybar. Sayyiduna Amr (may Allah be pleased with him) said: By Allah! I will not divide it until I write (about it) to the Commander of the Faithful. Then he wrote to Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him), and Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) wrote back to him: Leave it as it is, so that generation after generation may go out on campaigns from it.
This narration has been recorded by Imam Ahmad. Its chain contains a narrator who has not been named, and a narrator, Ibn Lahi'ah.

وَعَنْ أَسْلَمَ مَوْلَى عَمْرٍو ، قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ عُمَرَ ، يَقُولُ : لَئِنْ عِشْتُ إِلَى هَذَا الْعَامِ الْمُقْبِلِ ، لَا يُفْتَحُ لِلنَّاسِ قَرْيَةٌ إِلَّا قَسَمْتُهَا [ بَيْنَهُمْ ] كَمَا قَسَمَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - خَيْبَرَ . رَوَاهُ أَحْمَدُ ، وَرِجَالُ أَحْمَدَ رِجَالُ الصَّحِيحِ .
Aslam, the freed slave of Amr, narrates: I heard Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) say: If I live until next year, every town that is conquered for the people, I will divide among them just as the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) divided Khaybar.
This narration has been recorded by Imam Ahmad, and Imam Ahmad's narrators are the narrators of the Sahih.

Hadith Takhrij «اخرجه احمد فى المسند (213)»
وَعَنْ قَبِيصَةَ بْنِ جَابِرٍ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، قَالَ : كَتَبَ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ إِلَى سَعْدِ بْنِ أَبِي وَقَّاصٍ : أُرِيدُ قَسْمَ سَوَادِ الْكُوفَةِ بَيْنَ مَنْ ظَهَرَ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ ، فَكَتَبَ إِلَيْهِ سَعْدٌ : يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ، إِنَّا قَدْ ظَهَرْنَا عَلَى أَلْيَنِ قَوْمٍ خَلَقَهُمُ اللَّهُ قُلُوبًا ، وَأَسْخَاهُمْ أَنْفُسًا ، وَأَعْظَمِهِمْ بَرَكَةً ، وَأَنْدَاهُمْ يَدًا ، إِنَّمَا أَيْدِيهِمْ طَعَامٌ ، وَأَلْسِنَتُهُمْ سَلَامٌ ، فَإِنْ رَأَيْتَ يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ، أَنْ لَا تُفَرِّقَهُمْ ، وَلَا تَقْسِمَهُمْ ، وَلَا يَصُدَّنَا عَنْ وَجْهِنَا الَّذِي فَتَحَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْنَا فِيهِ مَا فَتَحَ ، فَإِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - كَانَ يَقُولُ : " عِزُّ الْعَرَبِ فِي أَسِنَّةِ رِمَاحِهَا ، وَسَنَابِكِ خَيْلِهَا " .
رَوَاهُ الطَّبَرَانِيُّ فِي الْأَوْسَطِ ، وَفِيهِ صَالِحُ بْنُ مُوسَى الطَّلْحِيُّ ، وَهُوَ مَتْرُوكٌ . وَيَأْتِي إِقْطَاعُ الْأَرَاضِي بَعْدَ قَلِيلٍ .
Qabisah bin Jabir reports from his father: Sayyiduna Umar bin al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) wrote to Sayyiduna Sa'd bin Abi Waqqas (may Allah be pleased with him): I want you to divide the land of Kufah among the Muslims who prevailed there. Sayyiduna Sa'd (may Allah be pleased with him) wrote back to him: O Commander of the Faithful! We have prevailed over a people who, of all those Allah Almighty created, are the gentlest of heart, the most generous of soul, the greatest in blessing and the most open-handed. Their hands give food and their tongues give greetings of peace. O Commander of the Faithful, if you see fit, do not separate them and do not divide them, and do not turn our attention away from the conquests that Allah Almighty has granted us there, for I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say: "The might of the Arabs lies in the points of their spears and the hooves of their horses."
This narration has been recorded by Imam al-Tabarani in al-Mu'jam al-Awsat. Its chain contains a narrator, Salih bin Musa al-Talhi, and he is matruk (abandoned). The narrations about granting land as a fief will come a little later.
