It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) made an agreement with the people of Khaybar for half of the produce of the crops or fruits. Every year, he (peace and blessings be upon him) used to give his wives eighty wasqs of dates and twenty wasqs of barley, that is, a total of one hundred wasqs. When Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) became the caliph and distributed Khaybar, he gave the pure wives of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) the choice that land be allotted to them or, as per the previous routine, they be given wasqs every year. The Mothers of the Believers adopted different approaches; some preferred that land be allotted to them in their names, and some preferred that they be given wasqs. Sayyida Hafsa and Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with them both) were among those who preferred the wasqs.
