Bayhaqi 18415 — Land taken by force and endowed for the Muslims

قَالَ: وَثَنَا يَحْيَى، ثنا قَيْسُ بْنُ الرَّبِيعِ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ مُهَاجِرٍ، عَنْ شَيْخٍ مِنْ بَنِي زُهْرَةَ، عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّهُ كَتَبَ إِلَى سَعْدٍ يُقْطِعُ سَعِيدَ بْنَ زَيْدٍ أَرْضًا فَأَقْطَعَهُ أَرْضًا لِبَنِي الرَّقِيلِ، فَأَتَى ابْنُ الرَّقِيلِ عُمَرَ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ فَقَالَ: يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ عَلَامَ صَالَحْتُمُونَا؟ قَالَ: عَلَى أَنْ تُؤَدُّوا إِلَيْنَا الْجِزْيَةَ وَلَكُمْ أَرْضُكُمْ وَأَمْوَالُكُمْ وَأَوْلَادُكُمْ. قَالَ: يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ أَقَطَعْتَ أَرْضِي لِسَعِيدِ بْنِ زَيْدٍ. قَالَ: فَكَتَبَ إِلَى سَعْدٍ رُدَّ عَلَيْهِ أَرْضَهُ، ثُمَّ دَعَاهُ إِلَى الْإِسْلَامِ فَأَسْلَمَ فَفَرَضَ لَهُ عُمَرُ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ سَبْعَمِائَةٍ وَجَعَلَ عَطَاءَهُ فِي خَثْعَمٍ، وَقَالَ: إِنْ أَقَمْتَ فِي أَرْضِكَ أَدَّيْتَ عَنْهَا مَا كُنْتَ تُؤَدِّي. وَهَذَا فِي إِسْنَادِهِ ضِعْفٌ، فَإِنْ ثَبَتَ كَانَ قَوْلُهُ: وَلَكُمْ أَرْضُكُمْ، مَحْمُولًا عَلَى أَنَّهُ أَرَادَ وَلَكُمْ أَرْضُكُمُ الَّتِي كَانَتْ لَكُمْ تَزْرَعُونَهَا وَتُعْطُونَ خَرَاجَهَا، وَذَلِكَ فِيمَا أُخِذَ عَنْوَةً إِلَّا تَرَكَهُ لَمْ يَسْقُطْ عَنْهُ خَرَاجُهَا حِينَ أَسْلَمَ، وَفِي الصُّلْحِ يَسْقُطُ.
A shaykh of Banu Zuhrah narrates from Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) that he wrote to Sayyiduna Sa'd (may Allah be pleased with him) to grant Sayyiduna Sa'id bin Zayd (may Allah be pleased with him) some land, so he granted him the land of Banu al-Raqil. Ibn al-Raqil came to Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) and said: O Commander of the Believers! On what terms did you make peace with us? He said: That you pay the jizyah, and your land, wealth and children remain with you. He said: O Commander of the Believers! Have you given my land to Sa'id bin Zayd? So Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) wrote to Sayyiduna Sa'd (may Allah be pleased with him): Return his land to him. Then he invited him to Islam and he became Muslim; Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) fixed a stipend of seven hundred for him, placed his stipend among the tribe of Khath'am, and said: If you stay on your land, keep paying as much as you used to pay.
There is weakness in its chain.
(b) If it is established, then this saying, "and your land remains yours," means "the land which you cultivate and on which you pay the tax," and this land had been taken from them by force. Note that even after his becoming Muslim the kharaj did not end, whereas in land of a peace treaty it drops.
