Hadith 1402
وَحَدَّثَنِي مَالِك، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ ، عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ يَسَارٍ ، أَنّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَانَ " يَبْعَثُ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ رَوَاحَةَ إِلَى خَيْبَرَ، فَيَخْرُصُ بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَ يَهُودِ خَيْبَرَ، قَالَ : فَجَمَعُوا لَهُ حَلْيًا مِنْ حَلْيِ نِسَائِهِمْ، فَقَالُوا لَهُ : هَذَا لَكَ، وَخَفِّفْ عَنَّا وَتَجَاوَزْ فِي الْقَسْمِ . فَقَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ رَوَاحَةَ : يَا مَعْشَرَ الْيَهُودِ، وَاللَّهِ إِنَّكُمْ لَمِنْ أَبْغَضِ خَلْقِ اللَّهِ إِلَيَّ، وَمَا ذَاكَ بِحَامِلِي عَلَى أَنْ أَحِيفَ عَلَيْكُمْ، فَأَمَّا مَا عَرَضْتُمْ مِنَ الرَّشْوَةِ، فَإِنَّهَا سُحْتٌ وَإِنَّا لَا نَأْكُلُهَا، فَقَالُوا : بِهَذَا قَامَتِ السَّمَوَاتُ وَالْأَرْضُ .
It is narrated from Sulayman bin Yasar that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, used to send Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Rawahah, may Allah be pleased with him, to Khaybar. He would assess the fruits and the lands. Once, the Jews gathered the jewelry of their women and began to give it to Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Rawahah, may Allah be pleased with him, saying: "Take this, but reduce our share of the produce." Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Rawahah, may Allah be pleased with him, said: "O Jews! Among all of Allah’s creation, I consider you the most despicable, yet even so, I do not wish to wrong you. And what you are giving me as a bribe is unlawful, and we do not consume it." At that time, the Jews said: "It is because of this that the heavens and the earth still remain established."
