حَدَّثَنَا حُسَيْنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ الْعَجْلِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَی يَعْنِي ابْنَ آدَمَ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي زَائِدَةَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْحَقَ عَنْ الزُّهْرِيِّ وَعَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي بَکْرٍ وَبَعْضِ وَلَدِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مَسْلَمَةَ قَالُوا بَقِيَتْ بَقِيَّةٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ خَيْبَرَ تَحَصَّنُوا فَسَأَلُوا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنْ يَحْقِنَ دِمَائَهُمْ وَيُسَيِّرَهُمْ فَفَعَلَ فَسَمِعَ بِذَلِکَ أَهْلُ فَدَکَ فَنَزَلُوا عَلَی مِثْلِ ذَلِکَ فَکَانَتْ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ خَاصَّةً لِأَنَّهُ لَمْ يُوجَفْ عَلَيْهَا بِخَيْلٍ وَلَا رِکَابٍ
سنن ابودوٗد · Hadith 3016
Narrated Abdullah ibn Abu Bakr: Abdullah ibn Abu Bakr and some children of Muhammad ibn Maslamah said: There remained some people of Khaybar and they confined themselves to the fortresses. They asked the Messenger of Allah ﷺ to protect their lives and let them go. He did so. The people of Fadak heard this; they also adopted a similar way. (Fadak) was, therefore, exclusively reserved for the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, for it was not captured by the expedition of cavalry and camelry.
