حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مِسْکِينٍ الْيَمَامِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَی بْنُ حَسَّانَ حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ يَعْنِي ابْنَ بِلَالٍ عَنْ يَحْيَی بْنِ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ بُشَيْرِ بْنِ يَسَارٍ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَمَّا أَفَائَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ خَيْبَرَ قَسَمَهَا سِتَّةً وَثَلَاثِينَ سَهْمًا جَمْعُ فَعَزَلَ لِلْمُسْلِمِينَ الشَّطْرَ ثَمَانِيَةَ عَشَرَ سَهْمًا يَجْمَعُ کُلُّ سَهْمٍ مِائَةً النَّبِيُّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَعَهُمْ لَهُ سَهْمٌ کَسَهْمِ أَحَدِهِمْ وَعَزَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ثَمَانِيَةَ عَشَرَ سَهْمًا وَهُوَ الشَّطْرُ لِنَوَائِبِهِ وَمَا يَنْزِلُ بِهِ مِنْ أَمْرِ الْمُسْلِمِينَ فَکَانَ ذَلِکَ الْوَطِيحَ وَالْکُتَيْبَةَ وَالسَّلَالِمَ وَتَوَابِعَهَا فَلَمَّا صَارَتْ الْأَمْوَالُ بِيَدِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَالْمُسْلِمِينَ لَمْ يَکُنْ لَهُمْ عُمَّالٌ يَکْفُونَهُمْ عَمَلَهَا فَدَعَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ الْيَهُودَ فَعَامَلَهُمْ
سنن ابودوٗد · Hadith 3014
Narrated Bashir ibn Yasar: When Allah bestowed Khaybar on the Messenger of Allah ﷺ as fay (spoils of war without fighting), he divided the whole into thirty six lots. He put aside a half, i. e. eighteen lots, for the Muslims. Each lot comprised one hundred shares, and the Prophet ﷺ was with them. He received a share like the share of one of them. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ separated eighteen lots, that is, half, for his future needs and whatever befell the Muslims. These were al-Watih, al-Kutaybah, as-Salalim and their colleagues. When all this property came in the possession of the Prophet ﷺ and of the Muslims, they did not have sufficient labourers to work on it. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ called Jews and employed them on contract.
