Sahih Muslim 1551c (Book 22, Hadith 3) #11088
Contract with the People of Khaibar

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) made a contract with the people of Khaibar, in which they agreed to give half of their yield from land and trees.

Abdullah b. Umar (Allah be pleased with them) reported that Allah's Messenger contracted with the people of Khaibar (land and trees on the condition that they should give) half of the yield from land and trees. The rest of the hadith is the same. In the hadith transmitted on the authority of AIi b. Mushir there is no mention of it, but that A'isha and Hafsa were those who opted for land and water, but he (the narrator) said: He (Hadrat 'Umar, gave option to the wives of Allah's Apostle that land would be earmarked for them, but he made no mention of water.
وَحَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ نُمَيْرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي، حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ، حَدَّثَنِي نَافِعٌ، عَنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ عَامَلَ أَهْلَ خَيْبَرَ بِشَطْرِ مَا خَرَجَ مِنْهَا مِنْ زَرْعٍ أَوْ ثَمَرٍ ‏.‏ وَاقْتَصَّ الْحَدِيثَ بِنَحْوِ حَدِيثِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ مُسْهِرٍ وَلَمْ يَذْكُرْ فَكَانَتْ عَائِشَةُ وَحَفْصَةُ مِمَّنِ اخْتَارَتَا الأَرْضَ وَالْمَاءَ وَقَالَ خَيَّرَ أَزْوَاجَ النَّبِيِّ أَنْ يُقْطِعَ لَهُنَّ الأَرْضَ وَلَمْ يَذْكُرِ الْمَاءَ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about a contract that was made between the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ and the people of Khaibar. The agreement was that they would give half of their yield from land and trees to Allah's Messenger ﷺ. This hadith teaches us about how important it is to keep our promises, as well as how generous Allah's Messenger ﷺ was in his dealings with others. He could have taken all of their yield, but instead he chose to be fair and only take half so that everyone could benefit from it equally. It also shows us how important it is for us to be honest in our dealings with others, even if we are not getting something out of it ourselves; this will ensure that everyone can benefit from any agreement or contract we make together.
