Narrated Ibn ‘Umar:
Umar bin Al-Khattab expelled all the Jews and Christians from the land of Hijaz. Allah’s Apostle
after conquering Khaibar, thought of expelling the Jews from the land which, after he conquered it
belonged to Allah, Allah’s Apostle and the Muslims. But the Jews requested Allah’s Apostle to leave
them there on the condition that they would do the labor and get half of the fruits (the land would
yield). Allah’s Apostle said, “We shall keep you on these terms as long as we wish.” Thus they stayed
till the time of ‘Umar’s Caliphate when he expelled them to Taima and Ariha.

Narrated Jabir:
Allah’s Apostle said (to me), “If the property of Bahrain had come to us, I would have given you so
much and so much.” But the Bahrain property did not come till the Prophet had died. When the
Bahrain property came. Abu Bakr ordered somebody to announce, “Any person who has money
claim on Allah’s Apostle or whom Allah’s Apostle had promised something, should come to us.” So, I
went to him and said, “Allah’s Apostle had promised to give me so much an so much.” Abu Bakr
scooped up money with both hands thrice for me.” (The sub-narrator Sufyan illustrated this action
by scooping up with both hands and said, “Ibn Munkadir, another sub-narrator, used to illustrate it
in this way.”)
Narrated Jabir: Once I went to Abu Bakr and asked for the money but he did not give me, and I
went to him again, but he did not give me, so I went to him for the third time and said, “I asked you,
but you did not give me; then I asked you (for the second time) and you did not give me; then I asked
you (for the third time) but you did not give me. You should either give me or allow yourself to be
considered a miser regarding my case.” Abu Bakr said, “You tell me that I am a miser with regard to
you. But really, whenever I rejected your request, I had the inclination to give you.”
(In another narration Jabir added:) So, Abu Bakr scooped up money with both hands for me and
asked me to count it. I found out that It was five hundred. Abu Bakr told me to take twice that
amount.

Volume 4, Book 53, Number 383:
Narrated Ibn Abi Aufa:
We were afflicted with hunger during the besiege of Khaibar, and when it was the day of (the
battle of) Khaibar, we slaughtered the donkeys and when the pots got boiling (with their meat). Al –
lah’s Apostle made an announcement that all the pots should be upset and that nobody should eat
anything of the meat of the donkeys. We thought that the Prophet prohibited that because the Khu –
mus had not been taken out of the booty (i.e. donkeys); other people said, “He prohibited eating them
for ever.” The sub-narrator added, “I asked Said bin Jubair who said, ‘He has made the eating of don –
keys’ meat illegal for ever.”)
