Arabic Text
قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ فُضَيْلٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيْدٍ عَنْ بُشَيْرِ بْنِ يَسَارٍ عَنْ رِجَالٍ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَدْرَكَهُمْ يَذْكُرُونَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ حِينَ ظَهَرَ عَلَى خَيْبَرَ وَصَارَتْ خَيْبَرُ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَالْمُسْلِمِينَ ضَعُفُوا عَنْ عَمَلِهَا فَدَفَعُوهَا إِلَى الْيَهُودِ يَقُومُونَ عَلَيْهَا وَيُنْفِقُونَ عَلَيْهَا عَلَى أَنَّ لَهُمْ نِصْفَ مَا يَخْرُجُ مِنْهَا فَقَسَمَهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَلَى سِتَّةٍ وَثَلَاثِينَ سَهْمًا جَمَعَ كُلُّ سَهْمٍ مِائَةَ سَهْمٍ فَجَعَلَ نِصْفَ ذَلِكَ كُلِّهِ لِلْمُسْلِمِينَ وَكَانَ فِي ذَلِكَ النِّصْفِ سِهَامُ الْمُسْلِمِينَ وَسَهْمُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَعَهَا وَجَعَلَ النِّصْفَ الْآخَرَ لِمَنْ يَنْزِلُ بِهِ مِنْ الْوُفُودِ وَالْأُمُورِ وَنَوَائِبِ النَّاسِ
English Translation
Muḥammad ibn Fuḍayl narrated to us, he said: Yaḥyā ibn Saʿīd narrated to us, from Bushayr ibn Yasār, from men among the Companions of the Prophet ﷺ whom he met, who mentioned that when the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ conquered Khaybar, it came under the possession of the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ and the Muslims. They were unable to cultivate it, so they entrusted it to the Jews to tend and invest in, on the condition that they would receive half of what it produced. The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ divided it into thirty-six shares, each share comprising a hundred portions. He designated half of the total for the Muslims — and in that half were the shares of the Muslims and the share of the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ among them. He designated the other half for visiting delegations, various affairs, and the needs of the people.
