It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) made an agreement with the people of Khaybar that whatever produce came from the fruits or crops, half of it would be given to him. The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to give his noble wives one hundred wasqs every year, of which eighty wasqs were dates and twenty wasqs were barley. When Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) was honored with the position of caliphate, he distributed Khaybar and gave the noble wives the choice: if they wished, they could take a piece of land, or if they wished, Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) would continue to give them one hundred wasqs every year as before. Some of the noble wives preferred to take a piece of land, and some preferred to continue receiving one hundred wasqs as before. Sayyidah Hafsah (may Allah be pleased with her) and Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) were among those who preferred the wasqs.
