The Messenger's reconciliation with the people of Khaybar
[ مُصَالَحَةُ الرَّسُولِ أَهْلَ خَيْبَرَ ] وَحَاصَرَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَهْلَ خَيْبَرَ فِي حِصْنَيْهِمْ الْوَطِيحِ وَالسُّلَالِمِ، حَتَّى إذَا أَيْقَنُوا بِالْهَلَكَةِ، سَأَلُوهُ أَنْ يُسَيِّرَهُمْ وَأَنْ يَحْقِنَ لَهُمْ دِمَاءَهُمْ، فَفَعَلَ. وَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَدْ حَازَ الْأَمْوَالَ كُلَّهَا: الشَّقَّ وَنَطَاةَ وَالْكَتِيبَةَ وَجَمِيعَ حُصُونِهِمْ، إلَّا مَا كَانَ مِنْ ذَيْنِكَ الْحِصْنَيْنِ. فَلَمَّا سَمِعَ بِهِمْ أَهْلُ فَدَكَ قَدْ صَنَعُوا مَا صَنَعُوا، بَعَثُوا إلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَسْأَلُونَهُ أَنْ يُسَيِّرَهُمْ، وَأَنَّ يَحْقِنَ دِمَاءَهُمْ، وَيُخَلُّوا لَهُ الْأَمْوَالَ، فَفَعَلَ. وَكَانَ فِيمَنْ مَشَى بَيْنَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَبَيْنَهُمْ فِي ذَلِكَ مُحَيِّصَةُ بْنُ مَسْعُودٍ، أَخُو بَنِي حَارِثَةَ، فَلَمَّا نَزَلَ أَهْلُ خَيْبَرَ عَلَى ذَلِكَ، سَأَلُوا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَنْ يُعَامِلَهُمْ فِي الْأَمْوَالِ عَلَى النِّصْفِ، وَقَالُوا: نَحْنُ أَعْلَمُ بِهَا مِنْكُمْ، وَأَعْمَرُ لَهَا؛ فَصَالَحَهُمْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ عَلَى النِّصْفِ، عَلَى أَنَّا إذَا شِئْنَا أَنْ نُخْرِجَكُمْ أَخْرَجْنَاكُمْ؛ فَصَالَحَهُ أَهْلُ فَدَكَ عَلَى مِثْلِ ذَلِكَ، فَكَانَتْ خَيْبَرُ فَيْئًا بَيْنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ، وَكَانَتْ فَدَكُ خَالِصَةً لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ - ﷺ لِأَنَّهُمْ لَمْ يَجْلِبُوا عَلَيْهَا بِخَيْلِ وَلَا رِكَابٍ
Translation
✧ [The Messenger's making peace with the people of Khaybar] The Messenger of God ﷺ besieged the people of Khaybar in their two fortresses, al-Waṭīḥ and al-Sulālim, until when they were certain of destruction, they asked him to let them depart and to spare their blood, and he did so. The Messenger of God ﷺ had already taken possession of all the properties—al-Shaqq, Naṭāh, al-Katībah, and all their fortresses—except what was in those two fortresses. When the people of Fadak heard what they had done, they sent to the Messenger of God ﷺ asking him to let them depart, to spare their blood, and to leave the properties to him, and he did so. Among those who mediated between the Messenger of God ﷺ and them in that matter was Muḥayyiṣah b. Masʿūd, the brother of the Banū Ḥārithah. When the people of Khaybar agreed to that, they asked the Messenger of God ﷺ to employ them on the properties for half the produce, and they said, "We know them better than you and can cultivate them better." So the Messenger of God ﷺ made peace with them on the basis of half, on the condition that "whenever we wish to expel you, we shall expel you." And the people of Fadak made peace with him on similar terms. Thus Khaybar became booty (fayʾ) distributed among the Muslims, while Fadak was reserved exclusively for the Messenger of God ﷺ, because they had not brought against it any cavalry or camels.
