Sunan Abi Dawud 3008 (Book 20, Hadith 81) #23298
Agreement between Jews and Prophet Muhammad (PBUH)

SUMMARY: The Jews of Khaibar asked the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) to confirm that they would do all the cultivation and have half the produce, which he accepted. 'Umar then offered to divide the palm trees for each of his wives by their assessment, or take out her portion from the fifth.

'Abd Allah bin 'Umar reported that 'Umar said "When Khaibar was conquered, the Jews asked the Apostle of Allaahﷺ to confirm that they would do all the cultivation and have half the produce. The Apostle of Allaahﷺ said "I shall confirm you on that condition as long as we wish. So they were confirmed on that (condition). The dates from half the produce of Khaibar were divided into a number of portions. The Apostle of Allaahﷺ would take the fifth. The Apostle of Allaahﷺ used to contribute from the fifth one hundred wasqs of dates and twenty wasqs of wheat to each of his wives. When 'Umar intended to expel the Jews from Khaibar he sent a message to the wives of the Prophet ﷺ and said to them "If any of you wishes that I divide the palm trees for her by their assessment that amounts one hundred wasqs (of dates) and to her belongs their root, their land and their water and (likewise) twenty wasqs from the produce of the cultivated land by assessment, I shall (do that). And if any of you wishes that we take out her portion from the fifth, we shall do (that).
حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ دَاوُدَ الْمَهْرِيُّ، أَخْبَرَنِي ابْنُ وَهْبٍ، أَخْبَرَنِي أُسَامَةُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ اللَّيْثِيُّ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ، قَالَ لَمَّا افْتُتِحَتْ خَيْبَرُ سَأَلَتْ يَهُودُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَنْ يُقِرَّهُمْ عَلَى أَنْ يَعْمَلُوا عَلَى النِّصْفِ مِمَّا خَرَجَ مِنْهَا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ ‏ "‏ أُقِرُّكُمْ فِيهَا عَلَى ذَلِكَ مَا شِئْنَا ‏"‏ ‏.‏ فَكَانُوا عَلَى ذَلِكَ وَكَانَ التَّمْرُ يُقْسَمُ عَلَى السُّهْمَانِ مِنْ نِصْفِ خَيْبَرَ وَيَأْخُذُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ الْخُمُسَ وَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَطْعَمَ كُلَّ امْرَأَةٍ مِنْ أَزْوَاجِهِ مِنَ الْخُمُسِ مِائَةَ وَسْقٍ تَمْرًا وَعِشْرِينَ وَسْقًا شَعِيرًا فَلَمَّا أَرَادَ عُمَرُ إِخْرَاجَ الْيَهُودِ أَرْسَلَ إِلَى أَزْوَاجِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالَ لَهُنَّ مَنْ أَحَبَّ مِنْكُنَّ أَنْ أَقْسِمَ لَهَا نَخْلاً بِخَرْصِهَا مِائَةَ وَسْقٍ فَيَكُونَ لَهَا أَصْلُهَا وَأَرْضُهَا وَمَاؤُهَا وَمِنَ الزَّرْعِ مَزْرَعَةُ خَرْصٍ عِشْرِينَ وَسْقًا فَعَلْنَا وَمَنْ أَحَبَّ أَنْ نَعْزِلَ الَّذِي لَهَا فِي الْخُمُسِ كَمَا هُوَ فَعَلْنَا

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about an agreement between Jews living in Khaibar and Prophet Muhammad ﷺ. The Jews asked him to confirm that they would do all the cultivation and have half of its produce, which he accepted. Umar then offered to divide the palm trees for each of his wives by their assessment or take out her portion from a fifth part of it. This hadith teaches us about fairness in agreements, as well as generosity towards others; even though it was not required for Umar to offer this additional benefit, he still did so out of kindness and generosity towards those who were less fortunate than him. It also teaches us about justice; even though Umar was a powerful leader at this time, he still respected agreements made with others regardless of their social status or wealth level.
