Sahih al-Bukhari 4236 (Book 64, Hadith 274) #4048
Division of Land Among Fighters

SUMMARY: The Prophet (ﷺ) divided the land of Khaibar among the fighters and 'Umar wanted to do the same for other villages conquered by Muslims.

Narrated 'Umar: But for the other Muslims (ie coming generations) I would divide (the land of) whatever villages the Muslims might conquer (among the fighters), as the Prophet divided (the land of) Khaibar.
حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ مَهْدِيٍّ، عَنْ مَالِكِ بْنِ أَنَسٍ، عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَسْلَمَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عُمَرَ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ قَالَ لَوْلاَ آخِرُ الْمُسْلِمِينَ مَا فُتِحَتْ عَلَيْهِمْ قَرْيَةٌ إِلاَّ قَسَمْتُهَا، كَمَا قَسَمَ النَّبِيُّ خَيْبَرَ‏.‏

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about how Umar ibn al-Khattab wanted to divide the land of whatever villages that were conquered by Muslims among its fighters, just like how Prophet Muhammad ﷺ divided the land of Khaibar. This shows us that it is important to be fair and just when dividing resources or rewards amongst people who have worked hard for it. It also teaches us that we should follow in the footsteps of our beloved Prophet ﷺ in all matters, including distributing resources fairly.
