It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that when Khaybar was conquered, a poisoned goat was sent to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) from the Jews. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Gather all the Jews who are here. So they were gathered. Then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said to them: I am going to ask you about something; will you tell me the truth about it? They said: Yes, O Abu al-Qasim! The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) asked them: Who is your father? They replied: Our father is so-and-so. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: You are lying; your father is so-and-so. Hearing this, they said: You have spoken the truth. He (peace and blessings be upon him) then said to them: I am going to ask you about something; will you tell me the truth? They said: Yes, O Abu al-Qasim! And if we lie to you, you will surely find out, just as you have found out about our father. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: Who are the people of the Fire? They said: We will remain in it for a while, and after us, you people will enter it. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: After you, we will never enter it. Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) said to them: I am going to ask you about something; will you tell me the truth? They said: Yes, O Abu al-Qasim! He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Did you put poison in this goat? They said: Yes, we did. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: What made you do this? They said: We thought that if you are a liar, we will be relieved of you, and if you are a true Prophet, then it will not harm you.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) that a Jewish woman presented a poisoned goat as a gift to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). When he came to know of it, he sent for her and asked: "What made you do this act?" She said: "I intended that if you are a true Prophet, Allah the Exalted would inform you about it, and if you are not a true Prophet, then in this way I would relieve the people of you." Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) says that whenever the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) later felt the effect of that poison, he would have cupping done. Once, while he was on a journey and had entered the state of Ihram, he felt the effect of that poison, so he had cupping done.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that once we were in the mosque when the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) came to us and said: Let us go to the Jews. So we went with him and reached their Bayt al-Madras. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) stood there and said to those Jews: O Jews! Accept Islam, you will find peace. They said: O Abu al-Qasim! You have conveyed your message to us. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: I also want you to acknowledge that I have indeed conveyed my message to you. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said for the third time: Remember that this land belongs to Allah and His Messenger, and I want to expel you from this land. So whoever among you can sell his property, let him sell it, otherwise remember that this land belongs to Allah and His Messenger.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) that Sayyiduna Umar bin Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) exiled the Jews and Christians from the land of Hijaz. The actual incident is as follows: When the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) gained dominance over Khaybar, he intended to expel the Jews from there, because when he (peace and blessings be upon him) took control of that area, the land became the property of Allah Almighty, His Messenger, and the Muslims. In any case, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) intended to remove and exile the Jews from there, but they requested the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) to allow them to stay there, saying that the Jews would continue to perform all the work and services of the lands and orchards, and in return, they would receive half of the fruits, while the other half would belong to the Muslims. So the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: As long as we wish, you will be allowed to stay here. Then those people remained there until Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) exiled them towards Tayma and Ariha.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) that Allah Almighty granted the region of Khaybar to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and he (peace and blessings be upon him) allowed the Jews to continue residing there as before, and divided the land there between the Jews and the Muslims. Then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) sent Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Rawahah (may Allah be pleased with him) there; he went and estimated the yield of the orchards and said: O Jews! In my view, you are the most disliked creation of Allah; you killed the prophets of Allah and attributed lies to Allah Almighty, but despite such hatred, I will not be unjust or oppressive to you. Now, I have estimated the yield to be twenty thousand wasq of dates; if you wish, accept this decision for yourselves, and if you do not approve, then I will accept it. The Jews said: It is because of such justice that the heavens and the earth stand firm; we accept your estimation, you may stay apart from it.

It is narrated from Basheer bin Yasar that he found some of the Companions of the Messenger mentioning this incident: When the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, conquered Khaybar and Khaybar became the property of the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, and the Muslims, while the Muslims were unable to manage all the work of that land, he entrusted it to the Jews so that they would fulfill its responsibilities and bear its expenses, and in return, they would receive half of its produce. The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, divided it into thirty-six portions, each portion consisting of one hundred shares. From the share that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, received from the land of Khaybar, he would distribute half among the Muslims in such a way that there would be shares for the Muslims as well as a share for the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him. The remaining half, the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, would spend on delegations, other matters, and various incidents and needs of the people.

It is narrated from Muhammad bin Abi Mujalid, he says: The people sitting in the mosque sent me to Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abi Awfa (may Allah be pleased with him) to ask him what decision the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) had made regarding the fruits of Khaybar. I went to him and asked him about this matter, and I also asked whether the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) had set aside a fifth (khums) of it. He said: No, it was much less than that. Any one of us could take from it as needed whenever he wished.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Majma’ bin Jariyah Ansari, may Allah be pleased with him, who was among those reciters who had learned the Qur’an, he says: We were present at Hudaybiyyah, and when we returned from there, people suddenly began to urge their camels to move quickly. People asked each other: What has happened? Others replied that revelation had descended upon the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him. We too hurried our camels along with the others. We found the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, at the place of Kara’ Ghamim, mounted on his ride, people were gathered around him, and he, peace and blessings be upon him, recited before them {اِنَّا فَتَحْنَا لَکَ فَتْحًا مُّبِیْنَا۔} that is, Surah al-Fath. One of the Companions said: O Messenger of Allah! Is this truly a victory for us? He, peace and blessings be upon him, replied: By Him in whose hand is the soul of Muhammad! Indeed, it is surely a victory. After this, the spoils of the Battle of Khaybar were distributed only among those who were present at Hudaybiyyah, and no one else was included with them. The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, divided those spoils into eighteen shares. There were fifteen hundred men in the army, among whom were three hundred horsemen, so he, peace and blessings be upon him, gave the horsemen two shares each and the foot soldiers one share each.

It is narrated from Ammar bin Abi Ammar, he says: Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) stated that in every battle I attended with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) except the Battle of Khaybar, he granted me a share from the spoils of war. The spoils of Khaybar were reserved for the people of Hudaybiyyah. Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) and Sayyiduna Abu Musa Ash'ari (may Allah be pleased with him) came during the period between Hudaybiyyah and Khaybar.

It is narrated from ‘Iraq, who says: Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) arrived in Madinah Munawwarah with a group of his people during the days when the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was engaged in the Battle of Khaybar, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) had appointed Sayyiduna Siba‘ bin ‘Arfatah (may Allah be pleased with him) as his deputy in Madinah Munawwarah. Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) says: When I reached him, he was reciting Kaf Ha Ya ‘Ayn Sad (i.e., Surah Maryam) in the first rak‘ah of the Fajr prayer, and in the second rak‘ah he was reciting“Woe to those who give less”(i.e., Surah Al-Mutaffifin). I said in my heart that so-and-so is ruined; when he measures for himself, he measures fully, and when he measures for others, he gives less. When he finished the prayer, he gave us some provisions for the journey, and we set out for Khaybar, until we reached Khaybar. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) spoke to the Muslims about us, and they included us in their shares of the spoils of war.
