It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) that Sayyiduna Umar bin Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) expelled the Jews and Christians from the land of Hijaz, and when the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) prevailed over Khaybar, he intended to expel the Jews from there. When he (peace and blessings be upon him) became dominant, that land became the property of Allah Almighty, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and the Muslims. In any case, when he (peace and blessings be upon him) intended to expel them from there, the Jews requested the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) to let them remain there, and that they would work on the cultivation of that land in exchange for half of the produce. So the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said to them: "We will let you remain here as long as we wish." Thus, they stayed there until Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) expelled them towards Tayma and Ariha.
