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.
