Volume 9 Book 85 Hadith 77

Volume 9, Book 85, Number 77:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
While we were in the mosque, Allah’s Apostle came out to us and said, “Let us proceed to the Jews.”
So we went along with him till we reached Bait-al-Midras (a place where the Torah used to be re –
cited and all the Jews of the town used to gather). The Prophet stood up and addressed them, “O As –
sembly of Jews! Embrace Islam and you will be safe!” The Jews replied, “O Aba-l-Qasim! You have
conveyed Allah’s message to us.” The Prophet said, “That is what I want (from you).” He repeated his
first statement for the second time, and they said, “You have conveyed Allah’s message, O Aba-l-
Qasim.” Then he said it for the third time and added, “You should Know that the earth belongs to Al –
lah and His Apostle, and I want to exile you fro,,, this land, so whoever among you owns some prop –
erty, can sell it, otherwise you should know that the Earth belongs to Allah and His Apostle.” (See
Hadith No. 392, Vol. 4)
