Arabic Text
حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ حَدَّثَنَا الْعُمَرِيُّ عَنْ نَافِعٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بَعَثَ ابْنَ رَوَاحَةَ إِلَى خَيْبَرَ يَخْرُصُ عَلَيْهِمْ ثُمَّ خَيَّرَهُمْ أَنْ يَأْخُذُوا أَوْ يَرُدُّوا فَقَالُوا هَذَا الْحَقُّ بِهَذَا قَامَتْ السَّمَوَاتُ وَالْأَرْضُ
English Translation
It was narrated from Ibn 'Umar (رضي الله عنهما) — via Waki', from al-'Umari, from Nafi' — that the Prophet ﷺ sent Ibn Rawaha to Khaybar to estimate the crop [kharasa] for them. He then gave them the choice to take [the assessed allocation] or to return it. They said: 'This is justice — it is by this that the heavens and earth are upheld.'
