Hazrat Ibn Mudarrib (may Allah have mercy on him) narrates that Hazrat Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) distributed agricultural land among the people of Kufa in such a way that each person received three farmers.

Hazrat Basheer bin Yasar (may Allah have mercy on him) narrates from a Companion (may Allah be pleased with him) that when the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) conquered Khaybar and all of Khaybar became the property of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and the Muslims, the people became weary of working on it. So they gave these lands to the Jews so that they would work on them and spend on them, on the condition that half of the produce would go to them. And the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) divided it into thirty-six portions, each portion containing one hundred shares. Thus, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) allocated half of all this specifically for the Muslims, in such a way that the Muslims had shares in this half, and along with them, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) also had a share. And the other half, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) allocated for the incoming delegations, other affairs, and for the hardships of the people.

I said to him: You (may Allah be pleased with you) do not have the authority to do this. Indeed, your two companions have passed away and neither of them did this. Hazrat Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Yes, both of them are such personalities that they should be followed.

Hazrat Aslam (may Allah have mercy on him) narrates that I heard Hazrat Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) saying: "By the One in Whose hand is Umar's soul! If it were not for the fear that those who come after would be left with nothing and would have no share, then I would have divided all the settlements of the disbelievers that the Muslims have conquered into portions just as the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) divided Khaybar into portions. But I have decided that a stipend should be established for them, because I dislike that those who come after should be left with nothing at all."

Hazrat Malik bin Aws al-Hadathan (may Allah have mercy on him) narrates that I heard Hazrat Umar bin Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) saying: Every Muslim has a share in this spoils of war, except for the slave, and if I remain alive, even the shepherd living in the mountains of Sana'a will surely receive his share from this spoils of war.

Hazrat Malik bin Aws al-Hadthan (may Allah have mercy on him) narrates that Hazrat Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: The wealth of Banu Nadir which Allah granted to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was obtained by the Muslims without fighting; there was no need for combat in it. And this wealth was specific to the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). He (peace and blessings be upon him) would set aside his yearly expenses from it, and whatever remained, he (peace and blessings be upon him) would allocate for horses and weapons, in preparation for using them in the path of Allah.

I will not give him anything from it.

Hazrat Abu Hanzala bin Naeem (may Allah have mercy on him) narrates that Hazrat Saad (may Allah have mercy on him) wrote a letter to Hazrat Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) saying that we have taken control of a region without fighting. What should we do now? Hazrat Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) replied to them in a letter: If you wish to divide this region among yourselves, then divide it, and if you wish, leave this region so that its inhabitants themselves will settle it. And if someone joins you in this region after you have received your share, then I fear that you will compete with each other in this matter and in the distribution of water, and then some of you will kill others. Hazrat Saad (may Allah have mercy on him) wrote a letter to him (may Allah be pleased with him) and said: Indeed, all the Muslims have agreed that their opinion is subject to your (may Allah be pleased with him) opinion. Hazrat Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) then wrote them a letter and said: Return the slaves to their women, even if any of them has become pregnant by a Muslim man.
