Sunan Abi Dawud 3006 (Book 20, Hadith 79) #23296
Treaty Making & Contributions by Prophet Muhammad

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad fought with the people of Khaybar, and captured their palm-trees and land, and forced them to remain confined to their fortresses. They concluded a treaty of peace providing that gold, silver and weapons would go to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, while whatever they took away on their camels would belong to them. He killed Ibn AbulHuqayq, captured their women and children, and intended to deport them. They offered him half of the produce from working on the land in exchange for not deporting them. The Prophet Muhammad used to make a contribution of eighty wasqs of dates and twenty wasqs of wheat to each of his wives.

Narrated Abdullah Ibn Umar: The Prophet fought with the people of Khaybar, and captured their palm-trees and land, and forced them to remain confined to their fortresses. So they concluded a treaty of peace providing that gold, silver and weapons would go to the Messenger of Allah , and whatever they took away on their camels would belong to them, on condition that they would not hide and carry away anything. If they did (so), there would be no protection for them and no treaty (with Muslims). They carried away a purse of Huyayy ibn Akhtab who was killed before (the battle of) Khaybar. He took away the ornaments of Banu an-Nadir when they were expelled. The Prophet asked Sa'yah: Where is the purse of Huyayy ibn Akhtab? He replied: The contents of this purse were spent on battles and other expenses. (Later on) they found the purse. So he killed Ibn AbulHuqayq, captured their women and children, and intended to deport them. They said: Muhammad, leave us to work on this land; we shall have half (of the produce) as you wish, and you will have half. The Messenger of Allah used to make a contribution of eighty wasqs of dates and twenty wasqs of wheat to each of his wives.
حَدَّثَنَا هَارُونُ بْنُ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَبِي الزَّرْقَاءِ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ، قَالَ - أَحْسِبُهُ - عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ قَاتَلَ أَهْلَ خَيْبَرَ فَغَلَبَ عَلَى النَّخْلِ وَالأَرْضِ وَأَلْجَأَهُمْ إِلَى قَصْرِهِمْ فَصَالَحُوهُ عَلَى أَنَّ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ الصَّفْرَاءَ وَالْبَيْضَاءَ وَالْحَلْقَةَ وَلَهُمْ مَا حَمَلَتْ رِكَابُهُمْ عَلَى أَنْ لاَ يَكْتُمُوا وَلاَ يُغَيِّبُوا شَيْئًا فَإِنْ فَعَلُوا فَلاَ ذِمَّةَ لَهُمْ وَلاَ عَهْدَ فَغَيَّبُوا مَسْكًا لِحُيَىِّ بْنِ أَخْطَبَ وَقَدْ كَانَ قُتِلَ قَبْلَ خَيْبَرَ كَانَ احْتَمَلَهُ مَعَهُ يَوْمَ بَنِي النَّضِيرِ حِينَ أُجْلِيَتِ النَّضِيرُ فِيهِ حُلِيُّهُمْ قَالَ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ لِسَعْيَةَ ‏ "‏ أَيْنَ مَسْكُ حُيَىِّ بْنِ أَخْطَبَ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَذْهَبَتْهُ الْحُرُوبُ وَالنَّفَقَاتُ ‏.‏ فَوَجَدُوا الْمَسْكَ فَقَتَلَ ابْنَ أَبِي الْحُقَيْقِ وَسَبَى نِسَاءَهُمْ وَذَرَارِيَّهُمْ وَأَرَادَ أَنْ يُجْلِيَهُمْ فَقَالُوا يَا مُحَمَّدُ دَعْنَا نَعْمَلْ فِي هَذِهِ الأَرْضِ وَلَنَا الشَّطْرُ مَا بَدَا لَكَ وَلَكُمُ الشَّطْرُ ‏.‏ وَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ يُعْطِي كُلَّ امْرَأَةٍ مِنْ نِسَائِهِ ثَمَانِينَ وَسْقًا مِنْ تَمْرٍ وَعِشْرِينَ وَسْقًا مِنْ شَعِيرٍ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about how Prophet Muhammad dealt with people who were hostile towards him during his time as a leader in Medina. He fought against the people from Khaybar who were trying to take away some possessions belonging to Muslims without permission or payment for it. In response he captured their palm-trees and land, forcing them into fortresses until they agreed upon a treaty which provided that gold, silver and weapons would go back into Muslim hands while whatever they took away on their camels would be theirs in return for not hiding or carrying anything else away without permission again. When he found out that Huyayy ibn Akhtab had taken some ornaments from Banu an-Nadir when they were expelled he asked Sa'yah where it was but found out it had been spent already so he killed Ibn AbulHuqayq instead as punishment before deporting all those involved including women and children unless they agreed upon working on the land with half its produce going back into Muslim hands as payment for not being deported themselves. Lastly we learn that every month Prophet Muhammad used contribute eighty wasqs worth of dates plus twenty wasqs worth wheat each month towards his wives as part payment for taking care of his household needs during this time period .
